Follow every sentence

Each episode is transcribed sentence by sentence with a translation in your native language. The current sentence lights up as it plays — down to the exact word — so your eyes follow your ears.

  • Sentence- and word-level highlighting
  • Four subtitle modes: bilingual / original / translation / off
  • Episodes without subtitles still play just fine
02 · Look up

Tap a word, get it instantly

Tap any word in the subtitles: a dictionary card pops up and playback pauses automatically. Close it and the audio continues — your listening flow stays intact.

  • Auto-pause, resume on close
  • Phonetics plus a native-language definition
  • The sentence it appeared in is saved with it

2:07 Bing by day he races through city streets delivering takeout meals. 白天,他在城市街道上飞奔,送外卖。

2:12 By night, however, during the tiny gaps between his deliveries, he writes poetry. 然而到了晚上,在送餐之间的短暂间隙,他写诗。

03 · Keep

Looked up once, kept for you

Every word you look up lands in your vocabulary book with phonetics, definition, source episode, and timestamp — each word remembers the sentence it came from.

  • Word, phonetics, native-language definition
  • Source episode + timestamp + context sentence
  • New → learning → mastered, progress you can see
04 · Review

Meet again, before you forget

Flashcards are generated on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. The front shows the word and pronunciation; the back shows the definition and the sentence it came from.

  • Three-level self-rating: forgot / fuzzy / know it
  • Your rating sets the next review date
  • The context sentence is a built-in example
