LPlayer is a video player that plays most video files and helps you get the meaning of words from subtitles (words of foreign languages or the meaning of complex/unknown words for you in your native language)
If you are studying a foreign language and your knowledge of that language is intermediate or upper intermediate level then you are possibly trying to watch movies in their original language
This app will help you get the translation/meaning of words which you don't know opening them from subtitles in a dictionary app while you're watching movies with subtitles in a foreign language
The app can be useful not only when you watch movies in a foreign language but also when you watch some documentary, scientific, etc. movies, so you can get the meaning of some complex/unknown words, terms, abbreviations in your native language
When you play a video with subtitles you can:
- select the words in the subtitles to open them in a dictionary app (see the list of available dictionary apps below)
- move (seek) between subtitles, repeat current subtitle with buttons
If you don't have subtitles for some videos on your device you can try to find and download them using this app ('Menu/Subtitles/Search Subtitles')
All video formats are supported, including MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, TS and M2TS.
p.s. it's better to use external subtitles (e.g. 'video.srt') otherwise when you play a new video and that video takes ~1GB or more you may need to wait for internal subtitles to prepare all features
