   Hi @krmadala,
   It was removed because it was half baked,

   • It didn't handle all the use cases for a good UX. eg if you manually correct a word, it would still have the blue underline. For a good UX, If you correct a word with low confidence score it should remove the underline (to mark it as "done").
   • when they were not provided it would mark everything as low confidence Refactor #53 (comment)
   • Confidence scores are generally pretty unreliable.
   • Confidence scores are inconsistent across STT providers.
   • There was no evidence that users would actually benefit from having confidence score indications in the transcript when correcting it, or that it would make it easier or faster to correct the text.

   If you want to bring it back, you can probably discuss a PR with @jamesdools and @emettely

   I've been more active working on an alternative version built on top of slateJs slate-transcript-editor - demo to address #150
