  🎵 Enjoy listening practice with your favorite clips, music videos
  🎬 Works on any YouTube video with subtitles
  🔄 Instant repeat of each subtitle line
  🚫 Free and ad-free gap-fill trainer
  🦊 Alternative to services like LingQ or LingoClip, but inside YouTube
  
  Lingo Gapfy is a Chrome extension that turns YouTube subtitles into a gap-filling listening exercise. It hides native captions, pauses on each subtitle line, and shows a custom panel where selected words are replaced with gaps. Users listen, type the missing words, and use Replay to rehear the line until all gaps are completed. Each subtitle line becomes a focused listening task built around accurate auditory recognition.
  
  NB! To start training, click the fox-face extension icon 🦊 in your browser toolbar!

  🎵 Practice listening with videos you already love
  🎬 Works with YouTube videos that have subtitles
  🔄 Replay tricky phrases until you catch every word
  🚫 Practice for free, with no ads inside the extension
  🦊 A YouTube-based alternative to LingQ or Language Reactor, Yabla, LingoClip
  
  Lingo Gapfy is a Chrome extension that turns YouTube subtitles into active listening practice. Regular subtitles make videos easier to follow, but they do not always help train your ear. With Lingo Gapfy, each subtitle line becomes a short fill-in-the-blank exercise: listen closely, type the missing words, and replay difficult phrases until they finally click. It is a simple way to spend less time reading and more time actually listening, right inside YouTube.
  
  To get started, open a YouTube video, click the Lingo Gapfy fox icon 🦊 in your browser toolbar, and start the exercise.
