After a month of trying this app, I find it a really good tool for improving English listening and comprehension, especially with videos full of difficult vocabulary. Adding my own videos and practising sentence by sentence helps me focus on every detail.

@tranthanhtung92

I'm really impressed by how accurately it generates subtitles from a video. It doesn't just improve my listening — typing the subtitles back out also helps me pick up new words. The friendly, easy-to-use interface is a big plus.
