iListen

iListen: A gradio app for English listening practice. Source audio can be any you interested in, like Youtube, Bilibili, or even your own audio files. This app will automatically download the audio using yt-dlp and split it into sentences using whisperx. Then you can listen to the audio and practice your listening skills.
