Getting Started

✨ You'll soon discover that TitoEn transforms YouTube into a powerful language-learning and study platform. Practice dictation, explore your favorite topics, and stay focused with intuitive tools for navigating videos and taking notes effortlessly. Spend less time managing your materials and more time learning. 🚀 Ready to dive in? Here's the quickest way to get started.

1. Paste a YouTube video URL

📺 Start by going to the home page and pasting the YouTube link of your lesson or video into the input field. Then click Load, and you're ready to learn or take dictation!

You can use any public video that has good audio and, ideally, a transcript available.

2. Set your study loop

Use Set A and Set B to mark the part you want to repeat. Turn on Loop to keep the clip replaying until you master it.

You can also drag the timeline handles to fine-tune the start and end points.

The Notes area is there for dictation, vocabulary, and anything you want to remember while studying.

3. Use playback tools

Keyboard shortcuts

🚀 Master TitoEn with keyboard shortcuts! They are the fastest way to control playback, change the speed, and jump around the video—all without touching the mouse. Keeping your hands on the keyboard will help you stay immersed in listening and dictation, making your practice smoother and more focused. Whenever you need a reminder, simply open the Shortcuts panel on the main page to see the complete list.

• Play / Pause to control the video quickly.
• Slower / Faster to adjust the playback speed.
• -5s / +5s to jump through the clip in small steps.
• Back to return to the start of the loop/video.

4. Check the transcript

After a few tries, show Transcript (Ctrl/Cmd + M) or CC (Ctrl/Cmd + C) to see the current subtitle context. This is useful for checking your dictation after you try it first on your own.

5. Save your work

Use Save to store a loop locally in your browser and Copy to share a link with the same video, start, end, and speed settings.

Helpful study tips

• Start with a short clip so you can repeat it several times.
• Listen once without the transcript before checking your answer.
• Use slower playback for difficult pronunciation or dense speech.
• Save your best loops so you can return to them later.
