What it actually is

A Swedish non-profit that has offered free language tools since 2015: SVT Språkplay and UR Språkplay let you watch public-service television with subtitles you can tap for instant word translations, and Läscoach does the same for reading. It turns ordinary Swedish TV into study material without breaking the flow to reach for a dictionary. Free and unlimited, funded as a public-good project. The apps depend on Swedish broadcaster streams, so availability outside Sweden is unreliable.
