Learn a language from what you already watch, read and play.
Every word is a toy: click it, keep it, play with it.
Draw a box over the subtitles of anything you watch, in any player or website. Each line is read as it appears, translated on your own computer, and turned into words you can click.
Open a comic and the Reader finds its speech bubbles and reads them. Click a bubble to collect its line, then click any word in it.
Keep a game's lines beside it while you play, or load its own text. For some games there is a Compendium: every card and item in the language you're learning, with its meaning under it.
Your flashcards are made from your own lines: the sentence you heard, the bubble you read. Grammar points are found in what you watched, and come up in the line you met them in.
When you stop, the app lists the new words you met and the grammar it saw. Tick the ones worth keeping and they go into a list of their own.
Shows, comics, games and sessions, each language in its own place, with how far you got and how many words you met in each.
Chinese, Spanish, English, Japanese and Korean, from whichever of them you speak. Chinese is the most complete; Japanese and Korean are the newest, so tell us what they get wrong.
No account, no ads, no tracking. Reading the screen, listening and translating all happen on your own PC; what you watch and the words you learn stay there. The first start downloads the dictionary and reading models, once.

Help → Send Feedback goes straight to the developer.
⚙ → Check for Updates asks for a newer build straight away. If there is one, it downloads in the background, is checked, and the app restarts to install it (it asks about unsaved transcripts first). The app still checks by itself every time it starts.
The download page now shows what the app can do, in pictures, with a printable PDF you can pass on.
Thank you for trying Translation Toy Box! It's an app for learning a language from what you already watch, read and play: it reads the subtitles of any video, listens to what's said, and turns every line into words you can click, look up and keep.
Help → Send Feedback goes straight to me. Small things count: something that confused you, a button you couldn't find, a moment you enjoyed. The app updates itself when I publish a new build, and this page will say what changed.
