BeyondPlayer Pro (originally called Source Player) is a video player for English learners. It supports almost all common video types and playback functionalities.
What makes it unique is its dedicated features for English study, such as:
When you watch videos with BeyondPlayer, you can click a word to display its definition in a pop-up overlay. Its far more convenient than searching the definition in a separated dictionary.
With the built-in subtitle panel, you can drag and select lines for repetition. Moreover, you can repeat the current line by pressing the ENTER key or double-click.
You can extra video clip with lines from the current movie to clip library. BeyondPlayer supports both keyword-based and tag-based search in clip library.
(for the moment, BeyondPlayer only supports extract clips from local file, extracting clips from YouTube may be added in future)
You can collect the words you met in videos for later study. The words in word book can be grouped by word list.
You can annotate a word by extracting the definition from system dictionary or web dictionary. By doing so, each time you meet the annotated word while watching videos, BeyondPlayer will automatically display a notification to help you recall the meaning of this word.
Other than the native macOS dictionary, BeyondPlayer comes with 7 selected web dictionaries, each one has its own character and benefit. You can even change an existing web dictionary to your favorite one.
BeyondPlayer comes with a built-in YouTube browser and player. Your favorite channels will be your valuable learning resources.

BeyondPlayer is integrated with two subtitle search engines, you can search and download the subtitles for the current movie. Modification of search criteria is allowed for better search quality.
Some video files may hardcoded its subtitle onto the video frame. There is no easy way for a regular video player to hide it. BeyondPlayer solved this problem with an elegant solution.
