Hi, Product Hunters ๐Ÿ‘‹ After eight months of development and testing, we are finally launching our product - Trancy. Let me briefly tell you the story of Trancy. ### Why have we built it? As a non-native English-speaking product manager, I don't have much time to learn a new language. However, I've found that watching YouTube has significantly improved my English listening skills. Though tools like Language Reactor and Ejoy have been helpful, their user experience is not yet satisfactory. So, I'm designing and optimizing YouTube to become an effective language learning tool. Practicing language while watching favorite videos is wonderful! ### How does it help? We made a simple chrome extension, so you can turn YouTube and Netflix into personalized study materials. You can build your vocabulary and grammar skills, Improve your listening and speaking abilities. We have recently integrated the popular OpenAI technology to further enhance our ability to define words and parse grammar. Trancy supports learning in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. ๐Ÿ“บ Theater Mode The new theater mode can help you purify all distractions on the page and focus more on the video content itself, whether you are watching YouTube or Netflix, you can enjoy a more immersive viewing experience. - Bilingual subtitles - Word highlighting - NLP word segmentation - Open AI word definition - Loop playback - Speed control ๐Ÿ“– Reading Mode In reading mode, Trancy uses innovative intelligent sentence segmentation to divide subtitles into complete sentences, helping users focus more on reading subtitles, facilitating overall viewing, and more convenient sentence practice. This mode is also particularly suitable for practicing songs and singing along. - Intelligent sentence segmentation - Focused playback - Word collection - Sentence collection - Font adjustment ๐ŸŽง Practice Mode Different from other bilingual subtitle extension, Trancy has customized a unique practice mode for users. Through various practice methods, it comprehensively improves listening and speaking abilities. You can do shadowing or fill-in-the-blank exercises, master new words through keyboard muscle memory, and practice mastering long and difficult sentences. - Open AI grammar analysis - Oral training - Listening training - Mode training - Fill-in-the-blank training ๐ŸŒŸ Other Features - External dictionary - Lifelike Text to Speech - Shortcut keys ready - Multiple themes - Multilingual

I tested this out today with Spanish and it is amazing! I can't believe how many features it is. I found the speaking practice particularly helpful for shadowing and working on my accent.

I love learning new languages and watching international shows on Netflix made me want to understand the basics and technicalities of the language. Trancy is an amazing tool for people wanting to upskill themselves while consuming media. It's entertainment + knowledge. What would you say is Trancy's best feature?
Nicholas Smit
Looks great, BUT - why does the Chrome extension need access to ALL data on ALL websites, instead of just youtube/netflix... ?
Elidi Martin
@niksmit thanks for your suggestion๏ผŒwe will try to remove other website
Nicholas Smit
@elidi_martin Great - seeing a requirement for all your data everywhere raises concerns. Best of luck with the product!
