It's often said that watching shows or movies in a language that you want to learn is a great way to practice comprehension, which is exactly what 'Iago' aims to help with by offering annotated subtitles.
The tool works by being activated when watching content and will provide detailed information to the user to help them keep a focus on the words being spoken. Watchers will also be prompted with randomized quizzes to help improve their vocabulary and reinforce the words that they have already seen.
The 'Iago' language learning tool is rounded out with the ability to review words and find how the user is progressing in their language learning process to ensure they are on the right path as they watch.
