YtShadow Extension

Shadowing is a deceptively simple, little-known language learning technique. You take a native audio recording, with a transcript and you speak along at as close to the same time as you can. That’s it.

This addon makes youtube.com as shadowing platform using video and subtitle.
Listen one sentence and type it, and optionally you could speak it loud.
