Language Reactor

What Language Reactor is

Language Reactor adds language learning tools to Netflix and YouTube, with browser extension features for video, reading and vocabulary. Viewers can use Netflix-provided subtitles, click words to see definitions, save words, set videos to pause after subtitles and control playback with keyboard shortcuts. The extension also imports webpages and adds machine translation and text-to-speech tools. Its free features include Netflix-provided subtitles, PhrasePump word and phrase saving, a basic AI dictionary helper and the Aria chat companion. Pro adds speech recognition for all audio tracks, machine translations for Netflix, saved vocabulary across Language Reactor features, Anki export, an enhanced dictionary model and saved chat memories. Saved words and phrases can be exported as Anki flashcards; listed Anki options include Windows, macOS and Linux, AnkiDroid and AnkiMobile. Language Reactor is listed for extension, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, and offers 67 languages. Pro subscriptions are available for one month, three months or one year, and subscribers can cancel after paying to avoid auto-renewal. Bitcoin payments are also accepted for any amount starting from $7 per month, without a recurring charge. The Chrome Web Store lists Dioco as the extension publisher and says its developer declares that personal data is not sold outside approved use cases or used for purposes unrelated to core functionality.
