+We initially wanted to use Amazon Transcribe for the transcription, but Amazon charged for usage of the service. The transcription subsystem is powered by Open AI's Whisper model. Specifically, a fork of Whisper that tracks the time of each word in the video. When a user uploads a video, the system automatically transcribes the audio and displays it on the website. The interactive transcript makes it easy for users to navigate through their video and find specific parts of the audio.
 
 ## Video Timeline
 
 Originally, we planned to use a JavaScript library called amalia.js for the video timeline. However, due to the library's newness, we ultimately decided to build our own timeline using CSS and JavaScript. The timeline allows users to edit their videos quickly and easily, without having to worry about the technical details of the editing process.
 
 ## Video Editing
 
-The video editing process is handled by the backend using Python's MoviePy library. Users can delete specific words in the transcript to remove portions of the video they don't want to include. This process is simple and intuitive, allowing users to make edits quickly and easily.
