New LingTube

LingTube is a Chrome extension that transforms YouTube and Netflix into platforms for learning languages and acquiring knowledge. Its core feature is bilingual subtitles: both the original text and the translation are displayed simultaneously, and words are colored according to their parts of speech; simply clicking on a word allows users to look up its definition.

For videos without subtitles, it can transcribe the audio into bilingual subtitles. When watching live broadcasts or news content, real-time interpretation can be enabled, providing translations as you listen. After watching a long video, you can easily generate a summary and an outline with just one click. You can also ask questions related to the content or take notes on the timeline. Words and sentences that you have reviewed will be added to a review list, allowing you to focus on them later on.

The interface supports more than a dozen languages, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is ideal for language learners who want to practice their listening skills using real video materials, as well as for those who frequently watch English courses and lectures. Some functions require login in order to use them.

Before using it to create vertical short-form videos, you can check in TVLab how popular dramas on similar themes begin and where the plot twists occur in each episode. Then, select an inspiration card that contains a detailed breakdown of the scene sequences and use it as a guide to generate each shot one by one.
