Common questions
What if the video has no subtitles?+
We fall back to YouTube's auto-generated transcript. Quality varies but the pipeline still flags low-confidence claims so you know what to trust.
How does the claim verification work?+
Pass 2 of the pipeline re-reads the original transcript and labels each statement as supported, dubious, or unsupported. Stats show up in the job detail.
Can I cancel my Pro subscription?+
Yes — from the dashboard, Billing → Manage subscription opens Stripe's customer portal where you can cancel any time.
Where is processing done?+
Self-hosted on a homelab in Europe (Spain). No third-party API by default; you can plug your own Anthropic key on Pro for cached inference.
