wooplayer

Music and video player for language learners

Learn a language from the songs you love

wooplayer plays your songs and videos with two lines at once: the words as they're sung, and what they mean in your own language. Tap any word to look it up.

Free, for Mac and Android

Arirang · Korean folk song

Arirang, arirang, arariyo

In the app, the song plays and the lines follow it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open a song or a video

    Songs, films and series you already have, in almost any format. Playlists, shuffle and repeat, like any music player.

  2. 2

    Get the two lines

    Paste or search the lyrics, or add subtitles. wooplayer listens to the song and times every line for you, so you never tap along. AI translates them into your language.

  3. 3

    Learn as you listen

    Tap a word for its meaning and how it's said. Loop a line, slow it down, or pause after each one. Keep the words and lines you want to remember.

Made for learning, not just listening

Two lines at once

The language you're learning on top, your own below. Hide either line to test yourself.

Tap any word

Dictionaries built into the app first, then AI for the rest: the meaning, how it's said, and what it means in this line.

Lyrics timed for you

wooplayer listens to the song and lines up the lyrics you have, even romanized ones, to within a third of a second.

Line by line

Repeat a line, loop it, slow it down or pause after every line, until you catch every word.

Films and series too

Subtitles next to the video or inside it, or found online. Turn your phone sideways for full screen.

Keep what you learn

Save words and the lines you love, and play them again later. Send your words to Anki.

Any two languages, even the ones other apps skip

Thai with Chinese, Korean with Thai, Vietnamese with Chinese: wooplayer works with any two languages. It knows where words begin and end in Thai, Chinese and Japanese, which don't put spaces between them.

The app itself speaks English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어 and ไทย.

Your music stays yours

wooplayer plays the files on your device, and your songs, lyrics and saved words stay there. To translate, it sends only the text. To time lyrics, it sends a small copy of the sound, which is never kept.
