Learn languages from what you’re already watching.
Subtitle Tutor reads the subtitles on your screen and turns them into real-time language lessons — instant vocabulary, grammar breakdowns, and translations as you watch. No pausing, no copy-pasting, no dictionary tabs. Build a personal word bank from the shows and videos you actually enjoy.
How it works
Subtitle Tutor captures the subtitle text from whatever you’re watching and sends it to an AI tutor that explains it back to you instantly. Watch a film, read your captions, and tap any word or phrase for meaning, grammar notes, and a natural translation. Everything you look up is saved to your word bank for review.

Grabs subtitles live as they appear, on web or mobile.
