How LexiWatch works

  1. 01 · Bilingual transcript

    English first, translation below

    The English transcript is grouped into whole sentences and translated line by line, so the original stays primary and the translation supports it.

  2. 02 · Tap to replay

    Tap a line, jump to that second

    Every sentence is a seek target. The current line stays highlighted during playback, and a missed phrase can be replayed until it is clear.

  3. 03 · Save to notes

    Keep a great line in one tap

    Saved sentences carry their translation and timestamp into My Notes, browsable by video or by most recent and synced across devices.

  4. 04 · On mobile

    A commute becomes a listening lesson

    An installable, small-screen layout puts the video on top and the following transcript below, so short study sessions pick up where they left off.

Product Structure

  • Paste a public YouTube link, fetch its English transcript, and regroup caption fragments into whole sentences beside the player.
  • Translate every line into the learner’s language in one tap, with English on top and the translation below.
  • Tap any sentence or timestamp to replay that exact moment; save useful lines with their translation and timestamp into My Notes.
  • Generate chapters, key quotes, and explanations of difficult passages, then review everything on desktop or an installable mobile app.

Product Principles

  • A useful digest, not a black box: every summary stays linked to the transcript and the exact video moment.
  • AI output is treated as imperfect, so the source is always one click away for verification.
  • The original English stays primary; translation and explanation support understanding instead of replacing it.

User Data

  • Audience: English learners, researchers, and people who study long interviews, talks, lectures, and tutorials.
  • Need: understand and revisit the valuable parts of a long video without scrubbing through the whole recording.
  • Success signal: digests that become reusable notes, with a free monthly video and a Pro plan for heavier use.
