Author Topic: "MyLingo" Alternate Language Cinema App Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 12-11-2016 10:55 AM                     I heard about an interesting new app that will provide 2nd language audio tracks for major movies via your phone. How it works: 1) You download the app 2) You download the audio track to your phone. 3) You go to the movie and activate the app. Using your phone's microphone, the app syncs the 2nd language audio track to the movie, which you listen to via headphones plugged into your phone. (Only wired ear buds/phones; It will not work with blue-tooth) 4) The app automatically deletes the audio files after the movie. Right now, it appears that Spanish is the only 2nd language available and they only have alt audio tracks available for a few major releases, however they claim they will be expanding to more languages and "all" features soon, according to an interview I heard on the radio. (They also claimed that they will have the alt audio track for "Star Wars Rogue One", available, although it's not listed on their website) Also, on the MyLingo website you can download the app and a couple of trailers and try it out at home to see how it works.
