Mebae: Learn Japanese & More

Podcast transcribe & translate

Free · In‑App Purchases

Turn any podcast into a Japanese lesson — word-by-word transcript, tap-to-look-up, and instant translation into 9 languages. All on device. Mebae turns real-world podcasts into a language-learning studio. Listen to native audio, read a word-by-word transcript that highlights in sync, tap any word for an instant AI look-up, and translate every line into your language. Built for Japanese learners first — with furigana, shadowing playback, and JLPT-friendly vocabulary — but it works with any podcast in any language.
