NoaLingua Workflow library
NoaLingua workflows
Start with what you want to do, then combine only the features that move it forward
In short
NoaLingua works best as a connected loop: meet language in a real video, article or document; make a small retrieval or speaking attempt; save useful context; then return through scheduled review or a practice book. These six workflows show the shortest path through the features for a specific job.
Turn one YouTube video into three study sessions
Use the first session for meaning, the second for retrieval and speech, and the third for delayed review.
Understand the video
Use dual subtitles and Listen first. Replay only the lines that block the story.
Work on a short stretch
Run Dictation or Shadowing, then save a small number of useful words.
Return after the first session
Open the Practice book and scheduled vocabulary review instead of starting from zero on a new video.
Build contextual Anki cards while watching
Keep the sentence and source that made a word understandable, with media when the site exposes it.
Meet the word in context
Click it in a subtitle only after the sentence gives you a useful example.
Save the NoaLingua card
Keep the sentence, translation, title and timestamp in the local deck first.
Send it to Anki
Press Anki once or enable automatic sending; closed Anki never loses the local save.
Read a real article without leaving the page
Choose quick in-place support or a clean bilingual reading session, then keep the same vocabulary history as video.
Choose a reading mode
Translate paragraphs in place for a quick article, or open the bilingual reader for longer work.
Read before clicking
Use the paragraph for meaning first, then open a word card only where uncertainty remains.
Save and revisit
The word joins the same local deck as video and PDF vocabulary; the reader remembers the article and position.
Bridge the gap between understanding and speaking
Hear the line without text, reproduce it, inspect the missed words and let those misses shape later practice.
Listen hidden
Use Listen first and repeat the sentence before revealing the target-language line.
Produce the sentence
Shadow it, Say it back or use one of the speaking exercises in Learn.
Use the misses
Open repeatedly missed words from speaking progress and return them to review.
Study a web video with your own subtitles
Give a generic player the timed text it lacks, correct one whole-track offset and use the normal learning overlay.
Bring a legal SRT or VTT
Open the web page that contains the matching video.
Attach and align it
Preview the file and shift the whole track earlier or later until speech and text agree.
Use the familiar tools
Translate, click words, save context and use playback controls without uploading the subtitle file.
Take a video lesson onto paper
Build exercises from a transcript, keep interactive listening on screen and save the printable remainder as searchable text.
Make a Practice book
Let the transcript and your deck choose the vocabulary and exercise material.
Complete listening on screen
Use the source audio while the video can still play the exact sentence.
Save the paper version
Print or download the searchable PDF with matching, gaps, word order, translation and answers.
