## Description

LingoTube is a versatile dual subtitle player designed to enhance language learning across multiple popular streaming platforms. Supporting languages such as English, Spanish, Korean (K-pop), French, German, and others, it allows learners to view dual subtitles simultaneously with flexible modes to suit different proficiency levels — including foreign language only, native language only, or both. 

This extension enriches the viewing experience with features like playback speed control, AB repeat and practice modes that combine listening and speaking exercises, and automatic subtitle mode switching during play and pause. Users can also play local video files with subtitle support (SRT, SMI), edit and bookmark subtitles, access Google-translated captions, and integrate third-party dictionary and translation tools. Additional features such as merging subtitles into coherent sentences and smart rewind on pause make it especially effective for complex videos like TED Talks, turning your streaming into an interactive language study session.

## Review summary

Users praise LingoTube for its language-learning features (repetition, shadowing, vocabulary search) and its usefulness for English learning, with many calling it their favorite and recommending it. However, recurring issues undermine experience: subtitles often stop working after updates, frequent bugs and instability, intrusive ads on every interaction, and trouble managing subtitle files and synchronization. Some users report language coverage gaps and translation timing discrepancies. Overall, strong learning capabilities exist, but reliability and monetization concerns significantly impact usability.
