Today I tried to import from desktop and Android a Youtube video with subtitles but instead of importing the transcript and audio, I just got the title of the video imported.

Yeah, I’m not sure what any of that is… All I know is that I’ve paid LingQ so I could import - because LingQ said if I paid I could import. I paid, and now it doesn’t seem like I can. I guess my point is, I don’t want to pay more money to do something I should already be able to do.

Error message: no captions found. I’m not sure if there’s been an update to the LingQ browser extension, but when I…

I am having the same issue. Nothing imports from YouTube. Here is an example… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFp0Rf8WiKg I have opened a trouble ticket, but I have not gotten a response.

Why doesn’t lingQ just hire you guys instead of putting out fires all the time :person_shrugging:

It looks like selecting “transcript source” > whisper AI (if available) from the plugin works. I don’t know how accurate it is though. Trying it now.

Status update on my import with the Whisper AI option: The import ultimately failed. In another thread, I saw that people were having better luck with videos that already had manually-written subtitles instead of automatic captions. I don’t know if that experience is consistent, but it might be wor…
