Did you say Viki? As in, Viki.com?
Edited to add: Ok, I see it is! Wow!!!

jpp025 · December 7, 2023, 12:04am

Question: Does Rooster Viki Tools read simultaneous timestamps?

I’ve noticed this for a while now and just realized that viki may have multiple subtitle lines itself that don’t get picked up by Rooster Viki Tools:

Ex.

I guess the only current fix would be to add the missing lines into the LingQ lesson and play that through viki, right?

Or playing the Korean overlay and turn on Viki’s english subtitles in those sections (It’s off and on, but anytime there is simultaneous dialogue and in cases like the above where they (Viki) mention text on one line and active audio on the second line.
