Agree. I think in some ways it's better not knowing he didn't really know JapaneseYea, I have to admit SpikesPen was better at "interpreting" what was happening in the scene than what I do...he probably spent many more hours too. Without Whisper he would not only of had to generate the dialog but also create the matching timing on the subtitle file. He was indeed our pioneer!
I still have an older movie of his game show dads and daughters both hypnotize and it's awesome.
