About Language Reactor
Language Reactor describes itself as a language learning toolbox for finding, understanding and studying native material. Its best-known use is on Netflix and YouTube, where it adds dual subtitles so you can follow a film or video in the language you are learning with a translation alongside.
It suits learners who already watch foreign-language shows or videos and want to turn that time into study. It was known under an earlier name before becoming Language Reactor.
