LLG Media Player

Language learning can be done in multiple ways, some more efficient, some less or, some targeting more natural assimilation pathways. One such way is the use of video format media and subtitles or lyrics to complement the visual content.

Designed for offering users the means of achieving language learning through media playback, LLG Media Player provides JavaScript bindings for “libvlc”, making the language learning process more accessible through several features. For instance, one will be able to rely on clickable subtitles or lyrics, as well as on-demand translations, in real-time, for the loaded media files.

Speaking of media files, users will be able to either add local video files, as well as playback remote media, from platforms such as YouTube. Once users have gotten a grasp of the one-click translation feature, the app allows them to save any words or expressions they prefer, for future reference.

A wide range of video media formats are supported, and subtitles in the .VTT and .SRT formats. In terms of the subtitle functionality, the app will automatically transform any detected subtitles into clickable strings, provided that the corresponding Google translation will appear for them. Last but not least, the language feature is provided with automated detection, for both subtitles and lyrics.
