Animated demo of the card the app shows when it pauses a video at the end of a sentence. The French sentence “Tu sais, le bonheur, c’est parfois juste un café au soleil.” is translated as “You know, happiness is sometimes just a coffee in the sun.” Vocabulary: Tu sais, you know (informal); le bonheur, happiness; parfois, sometimes; au soleil, in the sun. A grammar note explains that spoken French names the topic first (le bonheur) and picks it up again with c’est. The Original button is pressed and the French sentence is highlighted word by word as it plays; then the Translation button does the same for the English sentence. Pointing at the vocabulary entry “le bonheur” highlights it in the sentence, and “happiness” in the translation.

Animated demo of a Speaking session in push-to-talk mode: an English speaker practicing Spanish — drawn as a woman at her desk speaking into a microphone, next to the app. While the round microphone button is held, a level meter follows her voice and the learner’s Spanish sentence is written out as it was heard: “¿Podemos tener una mesa para dos cerca a la ventana?” On release the app speaks and shows what that meant in English — “Can we have a table for two near the window?” — so the learner can check it came across. The card then lists every word they used (Podemos, tener, una mesa, para dos, cerca, la ventana) and gives one correction: “cerca de la ventana” — “cerca” takes “de”, not “a” — with a more natural way to ask, “¿Nos da una mesa para dos?” The learner replays their own sentence with a word-by-word highlight, then asks in the chat, “Why «de» and not «a»?”, and gets a short explanation.

Animated demo of a Subtitles session. A Japanese food vlog plays in a video player while a transparent caption window over the lower part of the video streams three lines word by word: the original Japanese, English and Spanish. The speaker says “今日は大阪の商店街に来ています。” (“Today we’re at a shopping street in Osaka.” / “Hoy estamos en una calle comercial de Osaka.”), then “このたこ焼き、外はカリカリで中はとろとろです。” (“These takoyaki are crispy outside and gooey inside.”), then “熱いうちに食べるのが一番ですね。” (“They’re best eaten while they’re still hot.”). Finished sentences move up to a dimmed line as the next one starts. The app’s overlay lists the two translated lanes, English and Spanish, as live; it is then closed with its close button and the subtitles keep running over the video.

Animated demo of a Subtitles session that listens to the microphone instead of the computer’s sound. A teacher — drawn at a lectern with a microphone, beside a projected screen with a diagram of the water cycle, her class in front — speaks English. A transparent caption window over the lower part of the projected screen streams three lines word by word: what she says, Spanish and Chinese. She says “Good morning, everyone. Today we’re talking about the water cycle.” (“Buenos días a todos. Hoy vamos a hablar del ciclo del agua.” / “大家早上好。今天我们来讲水循环。”), then “The sun warms the sea, and water rises into the air as vapor.” (“El sol calienta el mar y el agua sube al aire en forma de vapor.”), then “High up, it cools into clouds and falls back down as rain.” (“En lo alto se enfría, forma nubes y vuelve a caer como lluvia.”). Finished sentences move up to a dimmed line as the next one starts, and a waveform on the lectern follows her voice. The app’s overlay reads “Listening to: System default microphone” and lists the two translated lanes, Spanish and Chinese, as live. She then closes the overlay with its close button: the panel disappears, and the subtitles keep running over her slide.
