Wow, this looks incredible! Love how the underline travels and guides the eye.. Very impressive!

Excuse the question, but "forced alignment" is when you don't have timestamps, like in webvtt?

Thank you!

Yes, exactly. We do forced alignment when you edit your transcript. The new words don't have any timestamps, so we need to align them. For short sections we use interpolation. If we need align whole sections we use Gentle[^1].
