Word Hunt

Word Hunt automatically highlights the words you’re learning in YouTube subtitles and helps you find videos that contain them. You meet those words again and again in real context—and remember them better.

Its biggest strength is matching a large vocabulary at once. Even if you import hundreds or thousands of new words, it quickly finds videos with the highest density of your targets. You spend the least time and meet the most words you’re studying.

Before you start

Video search currently supports YouTube only. Install one of these bilingual subtitle tools first:

• A YouTube bilingual subtitle extension
• RikoSub (a subtitle extension that supports YouTube)

You can pick words from the built-in English dictionaries—for example lists for various English exams—or build your own vocabulary from scratch. Phrase search is supported too.

How to use

1. Choose a learning language: The first time you use it, pick your learning language in the popup.
2. Turn on Learning mode: In the popup, open Learning mode and enable Word Hunt.
3. Build your word list: Check a built-in list, or click Paste words to add your own—large imports are fine. Words marked Known are not searched and not highlighted in subtitles.
4. Find videos: Click Find videos. Results are sorted by word density; pick a video that interests you.
5. Learn while watching: While you watch, target words are highlighted in the subtitles—click one to see its meaning.
6. No repeat recommendations: Watched videos won’t be recommended again unless you remove them from watch history.
