Press play on anything
Open a show, a vlog or the evening news. Chameo recognises the language on its own and lays clear, tappable subtitles over the video.
¿Nos vemos mañana en la playa?
See you tomorrow at the beach?
Learn while you watch
Tap the words you don't know, save the ones you want to keep, and let a quick daily review lock them in. Your watch time becomes study time.

Why learners love it
Everything a great teacher would do — right inside your video.

YouTube, Netflix, German TV libraries like ARD and ZDF, Vimeo — and practically any website with a video on it. One extension, everywhere.
Subtitles, even when there are none
Found a video with no captions? Chameo listens along and writes them for you, live.

Five minutes a day. Words that actually stick.
Most new words are forgotten within days. Chameo brings each saved word back right before you'd lose it — then waits longer every time you get it right. Less effort, far better memory.
