Marta, thanks for making the time. I'd like to start at the beginning: how did you end up deciding to rewrite onboarding?
- Marta Ribas00:11
It was pretty uncomfortable, honestly. We had an onboarding flow that did reasonably well on activation metrics, but when we sat down to watch the session recordings we saw people completing the steps without understanding what they were setting up.

So, good numbers and poor comprehension. How exactly did you spot it?
- Marta Ribas00:41
We transcribed thirty user interviews and looked for language patterns. The word that came up most was «guess». People kept saying «I guess this connects my calendar». That «guess» cost us about six weeks of work, but it was the clearest signal we've ever had.

In detail
An SRT is what every video editor, every platform and every player asks for when it says «subtitles». Getting one out of an MP4 means transcribing the audio inside it and writing the timings down in the right format — which is exactly what happens when you drop the file here.
The part that isn't automatic is the check. A name, an acronym, a technical term: those are worth two minutes of your time before downloading, and you can do them right here, line by line, without touching the timings.
- A proper SRT: numbered from one, UTF-8, no BOM, timings with commas.
- Lines cut at a length that reads on screen, not by character count alone.
- Speaker names in front of the line, which an SRT can show and a plain dump can't.
- The same transcript also exports as VTT, DOCX, PDF, CSV or JSON.
