Cueword: Learn Languages from Subtitles

Select a word or line in subtitles on any streaming site and get its meaning in the context of the scene. Saved by show.

Learn languages from the subtitles you're already watching. Hold Alt (Option on Mac), select a word in the subtitles, and Cueword explains what it means in that scene, not just in the dictionary. Idioms and slang are recognised: in "I believe he's gonna lick this thing", "lick" means "to beat", not "to lick". CATCH Select any word or line in the subtitles on YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video or any site with text subtitles. The video pauses while you select. UNDERSTAND See the basic meaning, the meaning in this scene and the most common expressions with the word, in the language you choose. SAVE Words are grouped by show or movie, together with the subtitle line and the moment in the video where you found them. REVIEW A short multiple-choice quiz shows the original subtitle line and asks what the word means there. Spaced repetition (SM-2) brings each word back at the right time, with a daily goal of 20 reviews. WHAT YOU NEED A free Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.
