SayAgain — Shadowing on YouTube

A minimalist shadowing tool, built right into YouTube. For those who want to practice a language in the flow of watching.

Tired of apps that make you learn the app first? Come in. SayAgain is a small, quiet shadowing tool built into YouTube. It turns the videos you already watch into speaking practice. No dashboard. No streaks. No hundred features hiding the one you wanted. One subtitle strip, one button, one panel. Nothing to set up. And no player of our own — you stay in YouTube's. Speaker too fast? Set YouTube's speed to 0.75× once and it stays there — in the video, in the loop, and later in review. You hear a phrase, you say it back, you repeat it until it sounds like theirs — the way actors and interpreters train. The hard part was always the rewinding; SayAgain gives you the phrase in one move, and tells you how close you got. It stays small on purpose, and it grows in one direction only: to make shadowing comfortable at every level. WHAT YOU GET • Subtitles switch on by themselves, in the language people are speaking • A clean subtitle strip inside the player, lighting up as it is spoken • Select any phrase and see the translation right there • Replay that one phrase — not the whole scene • Loop it with a pause, so you can say it back • Say it into the mic and see, word by word, how close you got • Set YouTube's playback speed once — it follows you everywhere, review included • Save it as a card that keeps the video, the moment and the voice • Review by ear: the real clip and the real voice, not text • 100 phrases free, no account needed YOUR LANGUAGES Shadow any language YouTube has subtitles for. There is no list for that side — if the video has captions, you can work with it. Translations come back in the language you pick. PICK ANY PHRASE Each word lights up as it is said (on hand-made captions, the whole line). Select the words you want, like any text — no buttons, no menus. HEAR IT. SAY IT. AGAIN The speaker says it. Then you say it. Then again. Three rounds, and a phrase you could not catch this morning is yours. Press the mic and say it back. The line returns word by word — green for what you got, red for what you missed — with a score. IT COMES BACK TO YOU Days later it finds you again — as sound, not text: the real clip, the real voice, the exact moment you first heard it. FREE TO START Your first 100 phrases are free. No account needed. Sign in and your cards follow you to any computer. Go Pro when you need more.
