How to use

Learn from what you already watch.

Violingo works alongside Netflix and YouTube. No course, no setup, and no access to your streaming account.

Getting started

  1. 1

    Install Violingo

    Add the Chrome extension to watch on your computer, or get the iPhone or Android app. Your saved words sync across all of them.

  2. 2

    Open a show on Netflix or YouTube

    Pick anything in a language you are learning. You watch on your own Netflix or YouTube account — Violingo never touches your login.

  3. 3

    Open Violingo and start watching

    Violingo matches your playback position to its own subtitle library and locks on in about two seconds. Subtitles, English translations and romanization follow along as you watch.

  4. 4

    Tap any word you do not know

    You get the meaning, pronunciation and the base form of the word, along with the line it came from. Save it and it is waiting for you in review.

Around the app

Watch

Synced subtitles, translations and romanization while the show plays. Tap a word for a full breakdown.

Learn

Your saved words come back on a spaced schedule, with the scene each one came from.

Progress

Words learned, your level, credits and study history.

More

Account settings, subscription and billing, promo codes, and feedback.

Notifications

Reminders when words are ready to review, and recent activity.

If something looks wrong

Subtitles are not showing up

Refresh the page, then reopen Violingo. If the show still does not sync, it may not be in the library yet — you can index it from the extension.

A show is taking a while the first time

The first time anyone opens a show, Violingo prepares its subtitles for interactive learning. That happens once and uses credits. After that it loads instantly for everyone.

I have a promo code

Open Violingo, go to More, then Credits & Billing. Enter the code and the credits land on your account straight away.
