Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

LangCal takes captioned YouTube video, limits the selected passage to two minutes, and aligns its words so each one can be replayed three times. The page demonstrates the idea with an Artemis II clip attributed to NASA, listed at 1:49 and 210 words per minute. Users can loop a passage, hide its text, share it, or download it; the site says clips remain only while the small server has room, making download the durable option.
