PokiSpokey
Find how any word is spoken in real life in any language
PokiSpokey is like YouGlish but with more features. Type any word or phrase and instantly watch the exact moment native speakers say it pulled from movies, podcasts, news, and shows on YouTube. No hosting, no downloads pure YouTube embed. Includes AI chat to explain pronunciation, grammar, and context. Free to start.
I built PokiSpokey because I was frustrated with traditional language learning apps they teach you textbook sentences nobody actually says. I wanted to hear how real people use words in real situations, not staged dialogues.
So I built a search engine for spoken language. You type a word, it finds the exact millisecond it's spoken across thousands of YouTube videos, and plays it in context. Then an AI explains the pronunciation, grammar, and cultural nuance right there.
It supports English, Spanish, French, and German with more coming. Would love your feedback on what languages or features to prioritize next!
Poked around with a few Spanish phrases and it found real clips in seconds which is honestly pretty cool. The AI chat explaining the slang usage was a nice touch.
the AI chat is a nice touch but it would help a lot if you could bookmark specific clips and build a personal list of examples to revisit later for practice
A subtitle toggle would be huge so I can read along while watching the clip, especially for the longer podcast segments. Maybe even let me click any word in the subtitle and jump to other videos where it was said in context.
Love how it jumps straight to the exact clip instead of making me scrub through whole videos. The native speaker audio paired with AI context makes pronunciation practice feel way more natural than flashcards ever did.
Love this concept, exactly the kind of tool I wish existed when I was learning tricky pronunciation. One thing that would make it even better: let me save clips to personal lists with my own notes, so I can build themed decks for things like minimal pairs or business phrases to review later.
