Subvoca prepares you for the show you're about to watch. We pull the real subtitles of your next episode, find the words you don't know yet, and turn them into a tiny 5-minute deck. Walk in ready to follow every line — no pausing, no rewinding, no "wait, what did they just say?". How it works 1. Pick a show or film from your library. 2. Subvoca compares the script to your vocabulary and builds a tiny, tailored deck. Only the gap. No filler. 3. Review with quick flashcards or fill-in-the-blank prompts. 4. A Watch Readiness score tells you exactly how comfortable tonight's episode will feel — then press play. Why subtitle-driven beats traditional vocab apps • Real context: every word comes from a sentence you're actually about to hear, in the voice of the show. • Frequency-aware: we know which words appear once vs. every episode. • Personal: your vocabulary level is measured upfront, and your deck ramps with you. What's inside • 7-screen onboarding (native language, target language, level placement, learning goal) • Subtitle-driven flashcards with Wiktionary definitions + TTS • Vocabulary bank with status tracking (New / Learning / Almost / Known) • Daily streak + per-day word goal • Coverage score per title — visualises how much of the script you already know • Light + dark mode, 25-language UI Coming soon • Subscriptions for unlimited deck preparation • Cueline integration (sister app) — daily movie-quote micro-quiz • Mid-watch hints overlay Subvoca is free with ads. Pro features arrive later. Privacy: we collect only the data needed to run your account. No sale of personal data. Full policy at lamma.dev/sublingo/privacy. Support: support@lamma.dev
