Learn vocabularyfrom YouTube.
Bilingual subtitles on the English videos you watch. Tap a line, make the cards in one click — meaning, example sentence, pronunciation — and each one returns right before you’d forget it.
From the bilingual panel into Piccard — one line becomes several candidate cards.
Free. No credit card needed.
From YouTube to flashcards
The loop closes itself: what you watch becomes what you review.
Watch with bilingual subtitles
The Chrome extension overlays your language on the video you’re watching — every line, synced to the second.
Tap a line. Keep the cards.
One tap sends the line to Piccard. One click makes the cards — meaning, example sentence, pronunciation on each. Keep what’s worth keeping, discard the rest.
Review comes back to you
FSRS spaced repetition schedules every card to return right before you’d forget it — and each one replays the exact YouTube moment it came from.
Other ways in
- Upload a video or audio file — it’s transcribed and the phrases worth learning are ranked, up to 20 cards at once.
- Paste a paragraph or drop a PDF — same proposal, same one click.
- Double-click a word on the web — an offline definition appears, and Piccard makes the card in one more click.

Yes! Every new account gets 150 free energy, enough for a few videos, PDFs, or about 150 cards. Top up with energy packs ($5/$10/$20) only when you want more. Energy never expires.
Both are good tools with a gap between them: Language Reactor shows subtitles but saving words means exporting and importing into Anki, and Anki itself takes real setup — you build every card yourself. Piccard closes that gap. Tap a subtitle line and the cards are already made — meaning, example sentence, pronunciation — keep what’s worth keeping, discard the rest, and FSRS-6, the newer scheduler Anki also offers, does the scheduling. No config, no export/import bridge.
No. The extension is lightweight — it adds its own subtitle panel over the video and never edits YouTube itself. If you ever want it gone, one click removes everything. It also works without an account.
A scheduling algorithm decides when each card should come back — early while it’s fresh, later as it settles into long-term memory. Piccard runs FSRS-6, the newest generation of the science behind Anki, and your cards come from what you watch and read.
한국어 · 繁體中文 · 日本語 first — Piccard is built for Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese speakers learning English. Spanish, French, and German are also available. Switch between them anytime.
