Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I am a teen who loves engineering and tech, so naturally I got into self hosting. My mom needed some YouTube videos transcribed, and she bought a subscription to a transcribing service. I naturally thought, "hey, I can do better than that!" So, this is the result of one week's work, and of course it is just a hobby project.

Feedback

Are there things I should prioritize? Am I doing something terrible wrong or inefficiantly (I'm pretty new to python)? Is there a better name for this that would be still be clear but better than what I have?
