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.

There is another company doing this by the name Theater Ears. I went t0 a demo at the recent Showeast Convention where the App worked great.
