"Because you can’t teach interest."

The Power of Preference

Traditionally, subtitles are used for increasing accessibility and understanding non-native content. But with the rise of global streaming, entertainment is no longer bound by borders.

EdSubs leverages the content viewers actually want to watch to drive language acquisition. By using multi-language subtitles, transliteration, and color coding, we turn passive viewing into active learning.

The EdSubs Methodology

We combine four distinct data streams with advanced color-coding to make language learning intuitive.

1

Source Language

The original audio language of the content.

2

Transliteration

Phonetic translation into a familiar alphabet to aid pronunciation.

3

Literal Translation

Word-for-word translation to understand sentence components and structure.

4

Colloquial Translation

Phrase-level translation to preserve the original meaning in your native language.

"Color-coding allows the viewer to follow a word from the Source through the Transliteration through the Literal Translation."
