HOW IT WORKS
1. Open any YouTube video with captions
2. SpeakTube's panel appears automatically on the right
3. Click any caption segment to jump to that moment and loop it
4. Hit record and repeat the phrase
5. Play back your recording and compare with the original
PRACTICE MODES
• Video — Play the original and your recording separately at your own pace
• Sequential — Original plays first, then your recording. Instant A/B comparison
• Both — Both play at the same time so you can hear exactly where you diverge
