Hello,
I’ve noticed a formatting issue when importing YouTube videos into LingQ. The text is broken into very short lines, almost like a poem, instead of flowing naturally as full sentences.
For example:
Mi chiamo Luigi e ho 30 anni. Vivo a
Pescara da sempre e lavoro come grafico
in una piccola agenzia pubblicitaria.
Could you please fix this so that the imported text keeps normal sentence formatting?
Thank you!
Yeah this is very annoying but sadly it’s been around for a long time. I think LingQ simply copies the built-in transcription (certainly by far the easiest and cheapest option), which doesn’t have natural sentence length but rather fixed-length lines without punctuation. Honestly I don’t use LingQ for YouTube largely for this reason. By the time you’re good enough at the language for this not to be distracting, I think you can just watch the videos without using LingQ.
The Rooster Playlist Import and Rooster Video Tools extension handles advanced segmenting of YouTube subtitles and direct import into LingQ.
