About

Video Language Learning

Features
Read full description

Turn any video into a language lesson. Mora adds AI bilingual captions, tap-to-lookup, and practice drills to YouTube, movies, podcasts, and files you already watch. Learn from real speech—not textbook dialogues. Import what you love, follow dual subtitles that stay in sync, look up a word without leaving the player, then lock it in with quizzes built from that same clip. Key Features: - AI bilingual subtitles: Transcribe video and audio into timed captions with translation. Word-level highlight follows playback so you can listen closely, shadow, and never lose the line. - Tap to look up: Tap a word or phrase for meaning, pronunciation, and examples. Save words and sentences to Favorites and review them later. - Ask about this video: Chat with AI on the transcript—what a line means, why a word is used, or how to say it yourself. - Practice from your media: Generate quizzes from your own subtitles—multiple choice, cloze, sentence order, and listening drills. - A player built for study: Repeat the current sentence, skip silent gaps, change speed, Picture in Picture, subtitle mask, and a follow-along transcript. - Your library: Import from Files, Photos, YouTube, or Share. Organize with folders. Export SRT, ASS, text, PDF, or the original file. Already have subtitles? Import SRT or ASS. How it works: 1. Import a video, audio file, or YouTube link. 2. Generate bilingual captions in the language you’re learning. 3. Watch, tap, save, chat, and practice—without switching apps. Supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and more. Mora is for learners who would rather study TED talks, dramas, and podcasts than a textbook. Captions, lookup, chat, and drills stay tied to the clip you’re watching. Open a video. Start learning.
