UrLine

Turn English you understand into English you can say.

Import a real dialogue, recall each line from its meaning in your own language, then speak before the original appears. UrLine helps you retrieve natural sentence patterns when conversation gives you no time to translate in your head.

Source hidden

You're here early today.

Then compare with the authentic source.

Three steps. About five minutes.

This is the whole app. Every picture below is the real thing, not an illustration.

  1. Step 1

    Paste a real dialogue

    Drop in a transcript, a subtitle file, or anything people actually said. UrLine strips the timestamps and cue numbers, splits it into lines, and lets you correct any of them before you begin.

    The import screen with a four-line coffee-shop dialogue pasted in, above a drop zone for subtitle files.
  2. Step 2

    Read the cue. Say the line.

    Each line arrives only as its meaning, in your own language. The English stays muted — every track reads Source hidden. You say it out loud before you are allowed to see it, which is the entire point.

    Three yellow Chinese cues, each with its English track covered and labelled Source hidden.
  3. Step 3

    See exactly what differed

    Then the original appears under what you said. Matching words light up, the rest is simply a difference to notice. There is no score, no streak, and nothing to lose.

    A spoken attempt above the original line, with matching words highlighted in cyan and the differing words left plain.

Your next natural sentence starts as a cue.
