What YouGlish is
YouGlish lets users search words or phrases and hear examples spoken in YouTube videos across accents and situations. It lists support for 25 languages, including Sign Languages. Searches can be narrowed by word class, phrase form, topic hashtag, speaker gender, or combinations of these selectors. The free plan allows 20 daily search requests. Paid plans use annual billing: Level 1 costs €3.00 per month for 50 requests, Level 2 costs €5.00 per month for 100, Level 3 costs €8.00 per month for 200, Level 4 costs €10.00 per month for 300, and Level 5 costs €12.00 per month for 400. Unlimited costs €30.00 per month. Subscriptions do not renew automatically. Developers can use an embeddable website widget, a JavaScript API, or REST web services for backend access. Widget options include captions, playback speed, restricted mode, appearance, and dictionary support. YouGlish uses YouTube API Services to gather and play videos; commercial use and use in mobile apps require explicit permission from YouGlish.
