Where Language Reactor is strong
Language Reactor is free, mature, and excellent as a dictionary layer. If you already know enough grammar to teach yourself, it does the job and costs nothing.
Where StreamTutor pulls ahead
StreamTutor explains out loud. Click a word you don't get and you hear what it means in the line it's in, and why, in your language. Then the line replays. With Pro, you can hold Space and say the line yourself: each word lights up as you say it. It helps most when you can read a subtitle but can't tell why it's built that way.
