Smart! Any plans to work with multiple languages? I'm an English-speaker, and I'd love something similar in the other direction.


I have coded a python app in my spare time to auto-sync two subtitles streams (any langage) and maximize the time each dual-subtitle is displayed on screen. It just tries to merge two srt as smartly as possible. I'm interested for feedbacks and test cases, my mail in my profile.

But sometimes, doubling amount text on screen is just not processable at a glance, fleex seems to have very appealing solutions to that : picking one of the langage based on difficulty, arrow key to get back in time and slow down playrate. Cant' wait to play with it!


I am also looking forward to have the ability to learn more languages than english especially since a part of the fleex team is most like french speaking.


We're focusing on English right now in an effort to stay as lean as possible. There are 2bn English learners on the planet, so from a rational point of view it doesn't really make sense to us to expand to other languages just yet...


... except that you'd have a ready-made market of 2bn if you did !


Also, most of the popular tv / movie content in the world is produced in English, which is another reason to start there
