The fastest way to improve your German listening
Convert German films, YouTube videos, and podcasts into Anki flashcards
Convert German films, YouTube videos, and podcasts into Anki flashcards
3 free conversions every month
Turn your favorite German video into a deck of flashcards with German subtitles and translations. Each card plays the audio clip so you can train your ear on real native speech.
Real speech, not studio audio
Native speakers at native speed, with all the elisions, filler words and swallowed syllables. Not phrases articulated for learners.
The text is hidden first
The front of the card is audio only. You either parsed it or you didn't, and the card tells you which. That's the whole point.
It lives inside FSRS
These are ordinary Anki notes. Your scheduler treats a listening rep like any other rep, so there's no separate app and no separate streak to maintain.

What it costs
3 free full-video conversions per month, up to 60 minutes each. The allowance resets on your signup day.
Past that, you pay per video by length:
| Under 15 min | €0.50 |
| Under 30 min | €1.00 |
| Under 60 min | €2.00 |
Transcription and translation are API calls, and they meter per minute of audio, so the pricing does too. No subscription.
Who's behind this
I'm a French developer in Paris. I was learning Arabic, a friend was learning Portuguese, and we both hit the same wall: reading was fine, listening was hopeless. Every app we tried fed us audio recorded for learners, which is not the thing we were failing at.
So I built the converter I wanted: real video, real speech, straight into the scheduler I already reviewed with every day. It's the most efficient way I've found to train listening. In my humble opinion.
Once downloaded, you should find your Anki deck file in your Downloads folder or in another folder you may have chosen. To use the deck, double-click on the downloaded file. It should then appear in Anki, in your deck list.
Thanks a lot for your trust, we hope you'll enjoy using our decks.
