  description

  Universal Auto Play & Pause adds a simple, predictable play–pause rhythm to online audio and video 🤩.
  
  Instead of continuous playback, the extension repeats a pattern you control:
  
  play → pause → play → pause
  
  This makes it easier to repeat spoken phrases, practice listening, or study audio and video content at a comfortable rhythm.
  
  🚀 Universal Auto Play & Pause is especially useful for:
  
  •	language learning
  •	shadowing spoken phrases
  •	repeating dialogue
  •	studying lectures or technical talks
  •	practicing dictation
  •	reviewing listening materials for language exams
  •	repeating audiobook segments
  •	creating reflection pauses while studying
  •	following subtitles more easily
  •	listening to interviews with controlled pacing
  
  The extension works on most websites that use standard HTML5 audio or video.
  
  🚀 Core Features – Automatic Play-Pause Control
  
  ⭐️ Custom Play-Pause Timing
  
  Choose how long audio or video plays before the extension pauses it automatically.
  
  Example rhythm:
  
  Play for 5 seconds
  Pause for 1 second
  Repeat automatically.
  
  ⭐️ Floating Page Control
  
  A small floating button appears directly on the page so you can quickly enable or disable the play–pause rhythm without reopening the popup.
  
  ⭐️ Default keyboard shortcut:
  
  Mac
  Cmd + Shift + P
  
  Windows / Linux
  Ctrl + Shift + P
  
  You can change the shortcut at:
  
  chrome://extensions/shortcuts
  
  🚀 Pro Features – Extended Playback Control
  
  The Pro version unlocks additional control for longer or more flexible listening sessions.
  
  ⭐️ Soft Gap creates smoother audio transitions between play and pause, making listening sessions feel more natural.
  
  ⭐️ Extended Timing Ranges
  
  Free version
  Play: up to 30 seconds
  Gap: up to 1 second
  
  Pro version
  Play: up to 60 seconds
  Gap: up to 10 seconds
  
  ⭐️ Presets
  
  Save and quickly switch between timing configurations.
  
  Built-in presets include examples such as:
  
  Shadowing – Short Sentences
  Shadowing – Standard
  Shadowing – Extended
  Dialogue – Compact Turns
  Lecture – Paragraph
  Lecture – Section
  Deep Focus – Long Segment
  
  You can also create your own custom presets for your listening workflow.
  
  🚀 Notes on Playback Behavior
  
  If you purchase the Pro version, reload the page to activate Pro features on the current media page.
  
  If a page has been open for some time without playback, reload the page to reconnect the extension to the media element.
  
  Some websites suspend background tabs or replace media elements after long idle periods. Reloading the page reconnects the extension to the media element.
