Hello, whenever I import a YouTube video, the audio starts to become out of sync with the text after about 5 minutes of the video. Is there any way to fix this? This occurs both in sentence view and page mode. Thanks!

Thanks. Importing video content is my biggest use case for LingQ, so I am looking forward to a fix. It seems that the issue occurs whenever there are long or dramatic pauses in the narration. The text scroll keeps going as the audio narration pauses.

I am noticing a similar problem. On YT imports, the complete text is not in synch with the audio (which I had to obtain via a separate app). I go back to YT and display the subtitles and they are fine. I would expect that I would see the same synchronized text and audio on the LingQ document, but I don’t. It seems that the text has been broken up incorrectly on the LingQ import. And I have checked the YT document source, and it contains clear time-stamps. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krLHpz2Vk0E

Hi, I noticed this recently, but also that the text is actually very unusable. My guess is that it’s because it uses YouTube’s auto-generated Japanese captions (I notice the same errors in the beginning). This is the video I’m attempting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeaneolXu7M
I’m trying to get the audio straight from the video and it seems like LingQ does a better job of transcribing the video.

I noticed the same problem with auto generated subtitles. Audio goes 2 pages ahead
