The subtitle problem
Subtitles help, but they move too fast to become vocabulary.
Movies and TV shows expose learners to real English dialogue: short sentences, idioms, repeated phrases, and everyday speech. The challenge is that unknown words disappear quickly, and pausing constantly turns watching into work.
TeakReader gives subtitle vocabulary a place to live. Instead of manually copying words into a separate app, you can process subtitle text, see what is unknown, and study useful words before or after watching.
Subtitle vocabulary analytics
Turn subtitles into words you can actually study.
TeakReader processes movie and TV subtitle vocabulary into word counts, comprehension signals, CEFR levels, and frequency-ranked unknown words, so study starts with language that appeared in real dialogue.
A word you learn from a show can count when you read a book later. A word you already know from reading does not need to be relearned from subtitles.
Known Learning Ignored Unknown
Cross-media memory
One vocabulary memory for books, movies, and TV.
TeakReader does not treat subtitles as a separate learning silo. Known, Learning, Ignored, and Unknown words are tracked across books, EPUBs, Project Gutenberg classics, movies, and TV subtitles.
That makes every book or show part of the same learner profile. If you also want to learn English by reading books, your subtitle study and reading study can build on each other.
How it works
Study subtitle words before or after watching.
TeakReader connects subtitle vocabulary to the same dictionary, translation, flashcard, and memory system you use for reading.
See what is unknown
Check comprehension, known words, learning words, and top unknown vocabulary before studying.
Tap, translate, and mark words
Use dictionary, translation, Known, Learning, and Ignored controls with sentence context.
Review across your library
Subtitle vocabulary feeds the same flashcard and vocabulary memory as EPUBs and Gutenberg books.
Feature proof
Built for real English, not isolated word lists.
Subtitle vocabulary can become definitions, translations, known and unknown word stats, CEFR comprehension signals, and flashcard reviews.

Subtitle app alternative
A different kind of subtitle learning app.
Browser extensions can help while you are watching. TeakReader focuses on extracting vocabulary from subtitles and connecting those words to long-term vocabulary memory.
If you have tried subtitle tools or browser extensions like Language Reactor, TeakReader is different: it connects subtitle vocabulary with your book vocabulary and review history.
