What about YouTube?

Why is premium paid?
Because audio and YouTube cost real money. We narrate texts with ElevenLabs — neural voices with native-quality output. For YouTube we use a separate provider for subtitles and alignment. Premium covers the bills for narrating your imports and processing YouTube videos. The full library of 200 stories and the entire course stay free.
from the maker
Honestly — I built it for myself
Vokki grew out of walks. I used to listen to long narrated stories on YouTube where each sentence comes in German first, then the translation. You walk through the park, German plus your language in your ears, and words just stick.
One thing was missing: hear a word in the story and drill it later. So I added texts with synced audio — words highlight as the voice reads them. Then flashcards. Then YouTube import. That's how Vokki came to be.
Now I use it every day, along with thousands of others. If it helps you too — drop me a line, it matters.
