## What is EchoNative?

EchoNative — Turn the podcasts you already listen to into a deep-listening practice room.

For upper-intermediate and advanced English learners who want to truly
understand the podcasts they listen to — not just follow along.

Import a podcast RSS feed, Apple Podcasts link, or local audio file
you have the right to listen to. EchoNative auto-generates word-perfect
subtitles powered by OpenAI Whisper, so you stop guessing and start
studying.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• AI Subtitles — Whisper-grade transcripts with word-level timestamps.
  Tap a word to hear it again.

• Sentence Breakdown — Tap any sentence for an instant GPT-4o analysis:
  literal translation, idiomatic translation, syntax structure, and the
  rhetorical device behind it.

• Instant Word Lookup — Tap any word for a clean dictionary card.
  No browser jumping, no copy-paste.

• Shadowing & Scoring — Record yourself shadowing a sentence. Get an
  instant pronunciation + fluency score from on-device + AI evaluation.

• Smart Vocabulary — Save words and phrases you actually encounter.
  SM-2 spaced repetition surfaces them again at the perfect moment.

• Phrase Discovery — Run a one-tap scan on any episode to surface the
  idioms and collocations hiding in the transcript. Add them to your
  vocabulary with one more tap.

• Anki Export — Take your vocab anywhere. One tap exports a clean .csv
  ready for Anki.

WHO IT'S FOR

You can already follow most native English content, but you want to:
- Notice what slips past you in real-time listening
- Build a vocabulary of words and phrases that actually matter to you
  (not someone else's textbook)
- Practice shadowing without external apps or paper

If you're at CEFR B2/C1 trying to push to C2, this is built for you.

• Your shadowing recordings stay on your device. Always.
