## What is MediaDict?

* LITE (FREE) version -> Search "MediaDict"

Study over 50 languages, including English, Korean, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, German, Vietnamese, Turkish, Italian, and more! Enjoy fun and diverse content to enhance your language learning experience.

MediaDict provides the most effective methods for language learning: dictation and shadowing.

In every language, certain words are hard to hear depending on surrounding words. Identifying the words you struggle to hear accurately helps you become familiar with their pronunciation, leading to effective improvement. The “MediaDictW” menu offers dictation exercises by arranging word order, while the “MediaDict” menu provides character-by-character dictation.

Speaking practice is essential in language learning. Using the “Repeat Player” menu, listen to phrases in videos and practice pronunciation with shadowing techniques. The key to improving speaking skills is practicing as accurately and frequently as possible. You can also check pronunciation accuracy through the speech recognition feature.

You can list all the words included in the content and easily access their meanings through more than 20 online dictionaries. The platform also provides a speech recognition feature for practicing pronunciation of individual words.

MediaDict’s video player supports bilingual subtitles, displaying both original and translated captions. After completing dictation, activate the “RewindSub” option to review the content. “RewindSub” hides subtitles by default and only shows them for the length of the rewind if you couldn’t catch a section. Tap the rewind button or double-tap the left side of the video screen to use this feature, which helps you assess your listening skills for the content.

With MediaDict, there is no limit to study materials. Over 100,000 YouTube resources are available, with more added continuously.

Know of YouTube content with captions in the audio language? Use the YouTube URL input feature to turn it into study material.

Want to study using a movie or drama not available on YouTube? As long as you have the video and subtitle files, you can use the external file connection feature to make it a study resource.

Experience a language learning tool with limitless potential!

### 3/5 — It doesn't work properly now

*2025-07-17*

I opened it and tried to do the training as I used to but the content didn’t start to play.
I also tried to play some of other ones but results were the same. 
If it is a bug, this is too crucial.  I hope it’s a temporary case.

**Developer response:** We may need to look into it in more detail. Please send us an email. scienartbb@gmail.com

### 5/5 — 추천합니다

*2025-03-24*

영어공부에 너무나 큰 도움이 되고있어요!! 영어로 캐주얼한 영상을 보는게 목표였어서 관심있는 영상을 받아쓰기하니 지루할 일이 없어요. 유튜브 url로 바로할 수 있다니 너무 좋아요. 받아쓰기하다보면 내가 리스닝이 잘 안되는 부분이 어딘지 알게되고 하다보면 확실히 리스닝이 느는것 같아요. 가격대비 최고의 투자였습니다!! 강력 추천
