# Practice Mode

<figure><img src="/files/hGY1OlBveXw1nTiUm7C0" alt=""><figcaption><p>Practice Mode</p></figcaption></figure>

Practice Mode is Trancy's built-in trainer for active listening and speaking. Instead of passively watching, you work through a video line by line with exercises like shadowing, dictation, and fill-in-the-blank, while the extension tracks your accuracy and streak. A "Mode selection" menu in the player lets you switch between practice methods, and AI grammar analysis helps you break down long or difficult sentences.

### How to start Practice Mode

1. Open a video on a supported site and turn on Trancy bilingual subtitles.
2. Hover over the video and click the Practice Mode icon in the Trancy toolbar.
3. Use the Mode selection menu to choose an exercise, such as Filling (fill-in-the-blank) or shadowing.
4. Work through each line, then watch your accuracy and combo update as you go. Press Esc to exit.

* AI grammar analysis — break down long or tricky sentences to understand their structure as you practice.
* Oral training (shadowing) — repeat each line out loud right after the speaker to build pronunciation and fluency.
* Listening training (dictation) — type out what you hear to sharpen your ear and spelling.
* Word mastery — retype target words until they stick, building spelling and keyboard muscle memory.
* Filling (fill-in-the-blank) — listen and type the missing words to test comprehension; your accuracy and combo are scored in real time.

EDITOR TODO: Verify the exact set and labels of practice methods in the live extension's Mode selection menu. "Filling" is confirmed from the product UI; the other method names above (Oral/Listening/Word mastery) describe behaviors the page documents but should be matched to the current in-product wording before publishing.

### Frequently asked questions

**Is Practice Mode free or Premium?**

Practice Mode is part of Trancy's subtitle learning tools. Some features it relies on, such as AI grammar analysis, are Premium per Trancy's pricing comparison; if the in-product experience differs, the in-product behavior is authoritative.

**What keyboard shortcuts work in Practice Mode?**

Practice Mode supports keyboard shortcuts so you can stay hands-on the keyboard, including the A, S, and D keys for quick controls. See the [Keyboard shortcuts ](/en/get-started/use-extension/keyboard-shortcuts.md)page for the full, current list.

**Which sites can I practice on?**

Practice Mode works wherever Trancy provides bilingual subtitles, on all of Trancy's supported platforms (see the full list on the [Bilingual subtitles page](/en/get-started/use-extension/bilingual-subtitles.md)). Availability can change, so check the live extension if a site is missing.
