ROOSTER YOUTUBE IMPORT FREE
A light version of the Rooster Playlist Import for the general LingQ user.
OVERVIEW
With LingQ disabling the built in Whisper Transcribe functionality for YouTube videos on the LingQ Import extension I thought this would be beneficial for anyone looking to continue that practice.
IMPORT BY WEBFORM (ALL USERS)
Import YouTube Video by WebForm
This WebForm uses the URL parameters from the import by URL method but allows the user to do it via GUI rather than constructing a URL.
HOW TO USE
Go to this webpage → LingQ Video Importer
- Click the Get Access Token Button
- Copy that token into the input field
- Enter YouTube Video URL / ID
- Enter Language Code for LingQ import
- Choose if you want to Transcribe or use the Subtitles (Use Audio)
IMPORT BY URL (ALL USERS)
Import YouTube Video by URL
Something special for the LingQ community with the departure of Whisper Transcribe of YouTube videos for phone users. Using this solution you will be able to import any YouTube video simply by using a link.
HOW IT WORKS
Because LingQ allows requests to be made by third parties using your session cookies or API key (The fundamental basic for browser extension) we are able to setup basic processes like lesson creation from a location other than LingQ.com.
