NoaLingua is the Chrome extension for shadowing that remembers

The pause lands exactly where a sentence ends

This is the difference you feel in the first session. Players hand out captions cut by the clock rather than by meaning, so a "sentence" is often half an utterance — and repeating half a line trains nothing, because intonation lives in the whole sentence. NoaLingua reassembles caption fragments into complete sentences before anything else happens, so the pause always lands on a real boundary, and replay, previous and next hit the start of the line every time.

You stop touching the scrub bar entirely. The video stops itself, you speak, it moves on. That loop is the whole reason people are still practising in week three.

It names the words that did not come through

A bare percentage teaches nothing. NoaLingua marks the specific words speech recognition did not catch, so you know exactly what to repeat instead of running the whole sentence again and hoping. Two modes cover both ways people practise: one walks a whole video sentence by sentence for a full session, and one stays on a single line until it finally comes out right.

Your voice is never stored. The score and the missed words are kept — no audio recording is written to disk or sent anywhere, at any point.

And the sentence is still yours tomorrow

Here is what a tool built only for shadowing cannot do. The line you just drilled is already a card — the sentence, its translation, the video title and the exact timestamp — and it comes back on a schedule of 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90 and 180 days without you setting anything up. A session elsewhere ends when you close the tab. Here it turns into vocabulary you keep.

That is because shadowing sits inside a whole workflow: dual subtitles on YouTube and Netflix, click any word for the meaning it carries in that sentence plus its conjugation table and IPA, the same lookup on any web page and inside any PDF, 30 practice formats generated from your own saved words, and export to Anki with video stills and the speaker's own audio.

Every one of those works on the free plan, on every supported site, in 28 languages. No account, no sign-up, and your deck stays in your own Chrome profile.
