What's New • Memorization is now free: use one deck with up to 50 items — daily learning, review, read-aloud and export all included, no subscription needed • New Notes: write up one point at a time — how a few words differ, or how a grammar pattern works. Link a note to your items and it resurfaces while you review them • Notes support AI drafting (bring your own API key in Settings), writing templates, text capture from photos, and live preview. Pasted from the web? One tap cleans up the formatting • New Cloze review: content words in sentences and passages are blanked out so you recall them from context and the translation. Each review blanks a different spot, covering the whole sentence over time • Study reminders now have separate morning and evening slots, each with its own time • Examples, explanations and notes can all be captured from photos — and one photo can add several examples at once • All 10 read-aloud voices now have names and guidance on what they suit, so you don't have to audition them one by one Stability & polish • Fixed the freeze and crash when importing large files or files stored in iCloud • Imports now check available storage first and tell you exactly how much is needed • Devices with less memory automatically use a lighter recognition model, preventing crashes during transcription • Punctuation no longer repeats itself in the romaji layer, for a cleaner three-layer view • Review cards now state whether to recall the original or the translation, and explain when you answered the wrong side instead of just showing 0% • A "+" next to "My Groups" in the library lets you create a group right there

This update fixes an important performance issue and significantly expands the Memorization experience: 【Fixes】 • Fixed the device heating up noticeably and draining battery faster during subtitle playback — the subtitle list refresh logic was rewritten to greatly cut CPU usage on the player screen • Fixed garbled titles when importing ZIPs with Japanese / Chinese filenames • Passage paragraph line breaks now display correctly 【New in Memorization】 • Set aside words you no longer want to study during review: removed from review but kept in the deck, restorable anytime • New “Type Answer” self-test: answer by typing (not just speaking) with automatic scoring • Link words and sentences as synonyms/antonyms and jump between them to study by comparison • Photo capture now supports checking multiple lines, merging into a passage, and editing each entry • Mark items as starred and filter by them; AI-translate into all target languages in one tap from the detail page Thank you for using YomiPlay!

This update brings a major upgrade to the Memorization module, plus playback and speech improvements: 【Decks】 • Deck Sprint: start studying any deck directly, free from the daily plan limit • AI Batch Generate: create a batch of words/sentences by theme (with readings & meanings) — the deck name is the default theme • Reorder decks by drag & drop; customize monogram text and color • Speak-to-Answer: answer aloud during review — scored by pronunciation, and auto-marked as “Good” when you pass • Secondary translation: store translations in two languages and use the second language as your recall prompt • More powerful item details: fix item types, switch translation languages, remember or pin preferred readings 【Playback & Speech】 • Key-line marking: swipe right to star lines, then “Play Key Lines Only” to skip the rest and save listening time • Re-recognize subtitles for any audio/video; new “AI Translate All” fills in translations in one tap • More natural TTS: sentences are read from the original text, with a selectable voice remembered globally Plus many refinements and performance improvements. Thank you for using YomiPlay!

Added Memory Books. Save words, phrases, and sentences from subtitles, generate audio automatically, and create daily study and review plans. Memory Books can be exported, shared, and imported with one tap. You can also configure your own AI API key to refine subtitles, add readings and translations, and generate vocabulary, definitions, examples, and themed study content.

Fixed an issue where speech recognition failed without a network connection. Imported local audio can now be recognized fully offline.

This update introduces a brand-new Text-to-Speech feature along with multiple experience improvements. New: Text-to-Speech • Paste any text to generate narrated audio with synchronized subtitles • Supports Japanese / English / Korean / Vietnamese (on-device AI) and Chinese (iOS system voice) • Preview 10 built-in voices to pick your favorite • Automatic sentence splitting + furigana generation included More app languages • 7 new interface languages Easier to start • Built-in sample "YomiPlayへようこそ" — try the player right after first launch • New folder long-press hint to discover rename / delete / export as ZIP Other • Added "My Furigana Dictionary" — override default readings for kanji you care about • Fixed SRT subtitle import compatibility • Polished various UI details

Edit and refine Japanese furigana (reading hints) on subtitles to match your study preferences. Fixes and improvements for video import and export reliability. Minor polish and stability improvements.

What’s New in 1.1.1 • Easier to discover subtitle editing—long-press a line in the player (with a one-time tip). • Visit the YomiPlay Community from Help to share and download .yomi subtitles. • Help and other in-app text improvements. • Bug fixes and small UI polish.

Smarter translation: Batch translate subtitles without confusing double alerts. Language pack hints appear mainly when you change the translation target—which matches how the system language already works by default. Podcast & URL import: Search history, clearer hints, bottom-right URL drawer, and all episodes stay visible—over-free-limit episodes prompt Pro when you try to import. Recognition stability: Defaults favor the Small model for faster, more reliable first runs; optional heavier models on capable devices, with automatic fallback on some failures. Playback & polish: Finer speeds (0.8× / 0.9×), updated help/FAQ, and clearer notes for translation OS requirements and link import limits.
