Yunit · Learn a language as you read and watch YouTube

Learn a language from the pages and videos you already enjoy. yunit translates a few new words right where you read them.

Learn a language from the things you already read and watch. yunit translates a few words on every page you visit, right above the word, so you pick up new vocabulary without stopping what you're doing. Click a word to keep it, and it'll come back in your reading until it sticks. It works on YouTube too, with subtitles in two languages. And when a video or a podcast has no subtitles at all, yunit can write live captions for you as it plays. yunit is free and you don't need an account. Your words stay in your browser. It's in beta, so it keeps getting better, and everything you read about here already works. How it works 1. Add yunit to your browser. 2. Tell it the language you're learning, and roughly how well you know it. 3. Browse like you always do. Read what you like News, blogs, Wikipedia, recipes, forums. Whatever you read, yunit turns it into a small lesson. It only translates a few words per screen, the ones you're most likely to learn next, so the page stays easy to read. You choose how many. When you read in your own language, yunit can mix in a few words of the one you're learning, so even everyday browsing teaches you something. And if a whole sentence is too hard, yunit can show it in your language. One click brings the original back. Click a word, keep it Click any translated word to see what it means, the sentence it came from, a definition and how it sounds. If you want to remember it, click Keep. You can also select a phrase or a whole sentence, and yunit translates it right away. Keep the whole phrase, or just the new words in it. Words that stick Every word you keep comes back in your reading, again and again, until you know it. Now and then it shows up as a quick question instead. There are only a few of those a day, so it never feels like homework. If you like flashcards, your lexicon (the page with all your words) has a short review, and you can export everything to Anki. See how far you've come Take the two-minute test at yunit.app/test to find out how many words you already know. That's your number, and it grows as you learn. On any page in the language, yunit can also tell you how much of it you'd understand. You can take two days off in a row without losing your streak, and yunit will never send you reminders. When you reach 100, 500 or 1,000 kept words, you get a little card to share. Every day, yunit.app/line has one new sentence for everyone to figure out. You can share your result without spoiling the answer. YouTube in two languages Turn on dual subtitles once, and every YouTube video with subtitles shows them in both languages, one under the other. Click a word to look it up, and the video waits for you. For music, the lyrics panel follows the song line by line, with a translation under each line. Live captions for anything you hear Watching a lecture, a podcast or a stream with no subtitles? Live captions write down what people say as they say it, in the original language and in yours. They sit at the bottom of your screen and stay with you when you switch tabs, and you can keep words from them too. A free account gets 30 minutes of live captions a month, and Premium gets 15 hours. In your language You can learn Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish or Swedish, with translations in 32 languages. yunit itself speaks all 32, so every button and message is in your language. Teachers can make one link at yunit.app/start. Every student who opens it gets yunit set up with the right languages. Bring your own text You can also open a PDF, an EPUB or any link in the reading room at yunit.app/read, with the same help. Free, or Premium Almost everything is free. A free account also keeps your words and settings in sync across your devices, backs them up every day, and gives you 30 minutes of live captions a month. Premium is $9 a month or $72 a year. You get 15 hours of live captions a month, better translations for words and song lyrics (from a language model, for when normal translation gets it wrong), and a page with all the sentences you've kept. If you change your mind, you get your money back within 30 days, no questions asked. Prices might change while yunit is in beta. If yours does, we'll tell you first, and the 30-day refund always stands. We read everything yunit is made by a small team, and a real person reads every message. If something doesn't work, or you're missing something, write to support@yunit.app. What you tell us decides what we build next. Your privacy Your words, your progress and your settings stay in your browser, and yunit doesn't track the pages you visit. To translate, yunit first uses the translator built into your browser, which runs on your own computer. If that's not available, it asks a public translation service, and only the words being translated are sent, never anything about you. Live captions send the tab's sound to a speech service, only while they're on. yunit also sends anonymous error reports so we can fix bugs quickly, and you can turn them off in the popup. You can export all your words whenever you like. The full details are at yunit.app/privacy.
