Tested result & sample

Signed into the TurboScribe dashboard (https://turboscribe.ai/dashboard) via Google OAuth, uploaded the 15.5s short video master (anchor_subtitle_v1/video.mp4), and completed Whale-mode speech recognition and subtitle segmentation in 24.4s (02_result.png). The natively exported .srt file (0.4 KB, 6 cues) achieved 100% syntax compliance (formatting_score 100%), scoring 30.0/65 on raw subtitle quality due to the free-tier attribution prefix in cue 1 and hyphenated spelling of the verification token.
