Utau - Learn Languages with Youtube Extension

Take your language learning to the next level with Utau, a Chrome extension designed to enhance YouTube's transcript functionality. Whether you're following along with Japanese songs or practicing with video content in various languages, Utau offers an intuitive, customizable experience.


Key Features

- Transcript Visibility: Keep the \"Show transcript\" button easy to find by displaying it prominently on the video page.
- Single-Sentence Playback: Easily replay individual sentences from the transcript to help you catch every detail. It auto stops on sentence completion.
Furigana Support: For Japanese learners, Utau adds furigana (phonetic readings) to help with pronunciation and understanding of kanji.
- Text Resizing: Adjust transcript text size to suit your preference for easier reading and comprehension.
- Playback Speed Control: Fine-tune the playback speed to match your learning pace.
- Automatic Transcript Selection: Choose your preferred transcript language (currently supports Japanese and English) and let Utau auto-select it whenever available.
- Customizable Settings: The extension allows you to tailor your experience, including options to auto-open the transcript section on video load, and set your default transcript language.


Perfect for Language Learners

Originally designed to help learners follow along with Japanese songs, Utau enables you to play back sentences individually, practice pronunciation, and improve your reading skills using furigana annotations. Whether you're learning to sing a song, watching a vlog, or just want to understand a language better, Utau makes the learning process smoother and more enjoyable.
