It's ok for simple text extraction but it's outlived it's purpose now. We're beyond MVP now and will transition to something more sophisticated for extraction.

Ah, no. I'm using Laravel/PHP on the backend, and that's using this library to extract text: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppler...

Thanks Arunima.

100% agree on the AI voice. We had to use it because we didn't have a mic when launching the video! But yeah, it's time to replace it (we have one now!).
