FAQ
Can I use it if I can't read the script at all?
Yes. Point to or tap a word to see its reading and meaning; for Japanese you can turn on furigana.
Are explanations in my language?
They follow your explanation language. Switching content does not change it. Dictionary coverage varies by language.
Which videos does it work with?
Subtitle reading from a video window on your computer, on-device speech recognition, and typed text. It is not officially integrated with any streaming service.
Can I learn from songs?
From subtitled videos or text you enter. It does not transcribe songs, provide lyrics, or analyse singing.
What is free?
Basic translation, the study tabs, the word pop-up and the wordbook. Questions to the AI tutor need a paid plan.
