Anata
Embedded Files
Learn Language by Watching Dramas & Movies
Overview
Overview
Want to learn languages from your favourite actors & actresses of dramas, movies, podcasts and talk shows? Simply load a video or audio into Anata and you're all set to go!
Anata takes a video or audio file and extracts the voices and subtitle or transcribed texts from it. You can learn to speak the texts by following the original voices with all different types of emotion. After all there is always a story behind these voices that you are so familiar and love, it makes easier for you to remember them. You can repeat playing particular texts until you fully grasp how to say them correctly and natively.
Important features include:
(1) Support two modes for text extraction:
Subtitle extraction using Vision Processing
Transcription using Speech Recognition Processing
(2) Link to your favourite online language learning tools
You can study the texts sentence by sentence and word by word with your favourite online tools
Easy access to romanization for Japanese and pinyin for Chinese that can allow you to quickly learn how to pronounce each word
Easy access to Accent guidance for Japanese that can help you grasp the rhythm
Easy access to grammatical breakdown to help you identify each part of speech
You can highlight individual word and phrase of the subtitle to find out their meaning and usage
Online tools are grouped by language so you have different sets of tools for learning different languages at the same time
Anata comes with recommended online tools. You can use them out of the box or add your own
Anata sends predefined prompts to ChatGPT and Google Gemini to analyse sentences/keywords and make sentences/stories. You can design your own prompts and let AI help you learn foreign languages
(3) Search
Once you have a few titles in Anata, you can start searching them for words and phrases and learn how to use them in different contexts
Even when you come across a new word outside Anata, you can also search it in the App to see if it is used in your favourite dramas and movies
If a word does appear in your library of dramas & movies, you can add it to Keyword for further study
(4) Keyword
You can collect new words and phrases as Keyword to enrich your vocabulary, which is important to become proficient in a language
As in Search, each keyword will link to the titles in which it appears
Keyword is also linked to online tools so you can perform in-depth study
(5) Favourite
If you like a particular “tile” (a term used to refer to a collection of text, image and audio clips for a subtitle text), you can add it to Favourite for future review
You can add a small segment of the story that consists of multiple tiles to Favourite to preserve its entirety
(6) Notes
It is important to write down your own thought and understanding so you can internalize what you have learned
You can take notes for both Keyword and Tile
You can study notes separately in the Notes section without navigating all the keywords and tiles. That gives you a quick way to refresh your memory of the key learning in the past
(7) Explain
Anata provides a handy Explain section for you to send any ad hoc words and phrases to any online tools
You can also add these ad hoc words / phrases to Keyword, no matter they are used in your library of titles or not
(8) Multiple Languages Supported
Japanese, Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified), Korean, German, French , Spanish, and English
(9) In-App Purchase
Anata is free for use with a limited number of titles and keywords you can add. Apart from that, all functionalities of the App are available though
Anata Unlimited is available for purchase in the In-App Purchase section
(10) Non English App User Interface Language
Currently support Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified) and Japanese as alternative user interface languages
Anata is meant to be a supplementary tool to your language learning need. It does not replace your main standard and essential learning courses and textbooks. You are advised to acquire a basic knowledge of a language (eg basic grammar) before you can reap the benefit of using Anata to improve your proficiency.
