TL;DR
New Standard / Enhanced transcription engine toggle in the upload drawer. Enhanced auto-polishes every cue and uses 1.5× credit.
Polish is rewritten as "diagnose first, apply once" — a ~10–30 s scan surfaces 4–5 categories of suggestions with real before → after examples from your own cues, and only the categories you tick get applied.
Live progress in the editor — no polling, no manual refresh.
Two transcription engines, your call
Pick Standard or Enhanced in the upload drawer (Enhanced has a NEW badge).
Standard is the fast path — best for rough cuts, sync-checking, and quick turnaround. 1× credit.
Enhanced runs an extra polish pass on top of Standard, auto-cleaning punctuation, line breaks, and common transcription slips. Best for final subtitles you'll publish as-is. Uses 1.5× credit.
The Estimated Transcription Usage shows a clear ×1.5 pill the moment you flip to Enhanced, so the multiplier is explicit before you submit.
Polish, redesigned — "diagnose first, apply once"
The old review-every-cue flow is gone. New shape:
Click Polish. The system scans your transcript (~10–30 s).
The AI lists 4–5 polish suggestion categories — e.g. Filler-word cleanup, Name spelling, Punctuation normalization — each with a plain-language description, a real before → after example pulled from your own cues, and a count of how many cues it would touch.
Tick the categories you trust. Skip anything risky.
Click Polish again. The selected fixes apply in one pass, with cues updating live in the editor.
If the scan finds nothing actionable, you'll see an Already polished or Almost perfect screen instead of an empty options list.
This is just the beginning
This is our first cut at smarter, in-product polish. We'll iterate fast on how you use it and what you tell us — consistent, personalized styling control is up next.
To try it: open the upload drawer, drop a file, toggle Enhanced, submit. Or open an existing project and click Polish in the editor toolbar.
