 Tiger is a Hugging Face space that helps language learner to extract movie subtitles
 
+How Project Tiger Started
+-------------------------
+
+__I don't believe NLP is inherently AI__. [Project Tiger](), however, enlightened me on what way should AI makes NLP
+more powerful for people.
+
+Paraphrasing a movie line is my favorite approach to learn a foreign language. This was why I was able to speak
+close-native English in early days. I used this same tactic for German. One morning I was studying German with the
+famous German WW2 movie [_Generation War_](https://youtu.be/TmyGPX23px4?si=wk3V62vLUe9zFzfo). Managing to find its
+subtitles[^1][^2][^3] are easy for me. A problem soon arose as I proceed with them: _the subtitles had errors_ - missing
+phrases every few other lines. In old days 10 years ago, I would've reached a dead end.

+
+Almost immediately, I had this idea of having AI figure out those missing words for me; so then tried
+[OpenAI's Whisper](https://huggingface.co/spaces/openai/whisper) which, quite surprisingly, yield 100% accurate results.
+This marked the milestone where AI produced real value for my life.
+
+Feeling so excited, I decided to industrialize this process and hereby present it as
+[Project Tiger on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/spaces/QubitPi/tiger), a transcription service that targets
+specifically for language learners
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> The project name _tiger_ was taken from the _German heavy tank of World War II -
+> [Tiger I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_I)_.
+> 
+> I chose this name because the project idea was spawned from the study of German language and _Tiger I_ has been widely
+> regarded as a revolutionary tank as a crown jewels in the history of warfare technology: 
+> 
+> > _"It is tempting to view the appearance of the Tiger tank as revolutionary, ... the end result was a machine that
+> > represented a quantum leap forward in tank design and changed everything - forever"_[^4]
+> 
+> This project also changed my view toward AI and serves as an empirical guidance on how AI should help people's life
+> with NLP
