Thanks, Rooster. Can see Course upload / YouTube import free icons now.

Cheers for this. My original thought was upload it to simplified and then get the returned translit data but this package looks much nicer.

Now it says my license key is invalid and when I need to verify it stays frozen on the screen.

Thanks for the report. There was a cache issue which has been fixed now and going forward

Will this be affected by Lingq’s new policy of not transcribing Youtube audio?

@vernmartin

The Rooster method works because it mimics the user uploading a file via the lesson creation process. As long as LingQ continues to support Whisper Transcribe for Audio uploads then it is no problem.

Hey mate i’ve added a solution for the Simplified → Traditional character swap for you in MasterLingQ 1.558

After the transcription has finished go the lesson editor page. click the Rooster button and then click Lesson Files.

Click Convert S2T button

After ~5 seconds you will get a subtitles file with the updated lesson. ~5 seconds after that you will get a notification that a new lesson has been created with the text.

Get the new lesson ID and attach it to YouTube tools

I hope this solution is suitable until LingQ comes out with a more fitting one.

Let me know if any issues.

Thank you. Just saw your message, I’ll give it a try. Is there a way to use this for an audio that has been uploaded and incorrectly transcribed to simplified Chinese?

Yes you can this for any lesson in the Chinese Traditional library.

I just noticed there is a problem loading it on Chrome. You need to use the Firefox version to do this until I implement a fix.

Just did it for an incorrectly transcribed lesson and it worked like a charm creating a new lesson with the Traditional characters. Thanks mate.

Dear Roosterburton, i have bought the Roosterpremium Package and im currently trying to figure out how to use the RoosterVideoToolsV2. However, when trying to load a video it says “Loading Jax” and nothing happens.


Before i got the notification “Clipboard access was requested. Please allow clipboard access for Whisper JAX functions.” Thank you for your support and the development of the tools!

Hey mate, thanks for your support and the picture of the problem.

I’ve tested out that exact video this morning and have some answers

Whisper JAX is a third party service, the uptime and speed are quite good but sometimes there is a queue to enter and can take a few minutes to load in. An issue that most providers are facing right now is that YouTube actively tries to block their Audio being downloaded. We have a backup in place but that is also failing sometimes leaving the Transcribe in limbo. Will be addressed in the next patch.

Thank you for the reply! I have to say, your tools are incredible. It works flawless and lifts Lingq and language learning to a next level.

Dear Roosterburton, is it possible to increase the lengt of subtitles per frame? It is difficult to understand the context if most of the time only a part of a sentence is displayed.

The subtitle timestamps stamps are created based on the import method.
[whisper, subtitles, translate etc]

I’ve heard that the ‘Whisper LINGQ’ import method returns longer sentences but needs to be tested. Provided captions are usually the best option if available and autogen last.

To be sure it’s better to delete the lesson and create it again to test other methods.

Also, from the audio bar you can click the Gender icon → Floating Captions to get an auto scrolling full text of the video

Then when I refresh, it asks for my license key which I the provide, and it happens all over again.
