Listenise Turns Your Own Subtitles into Listening Practice
A local-first English listening tool that converts your audio or video and matching SRT/VTT subtitles into sentence-by-sentence dictation, cloze, and shadowing exercises.
Field notes
The workflow depends on timestamp alignment between a media file and its SRT or VTT subtitles, then exposes the material as individual sentence segments. A displayed example tracks “Sentence 4 / 12” and offers replay, typing, review, and accuracy feedback. The three modes vary the same source material: full dictation requires every word, cloze hides a percentage of words, and shadowing follows the transcript and playback timing.
