## What is EchoSpeak?

"Echo Speak" is an innovative language learning app that harnesses the power of videos and subtitles to help users master English. With support for importing videos and subtitle files, the app offers a range of interactive features to enhance your language learning experience.

Key Features:

- Short Video Flashcard:  Introducing the powerful short video flashcards feature! You can quickly add words, subtitles, or clips as short video flashcards. Learn English by swiping through flashcards just like short videos. Through repeated active recall and self-testing, flashcards help you strengthen memory and improve learning efficiency.

- Vocabulary Filtering: Seamlessly integrated with an English word database, the app automatically filters out unfamiliar words from subtitles and provides instant explanations. You can also add your own unfamiliar words from the subtitles to expand your vocabulary.

- Subtitle Language Switching: Enjoy the flexibility of switching between different language subtitles, such as English and Chinese, while watching videos. This feature allows you to practice your listening skills in different language contexts.

- Subtitle Word Display: With just a tap, you can instantly view all the words, their definitions, and phonetic transcriptions within a subtitle. You can even listen to the standard American or British pronunciation by tapping the pronunciation button.

- Generate Subs Locally: No need to hunt for matching subs – our app can whip up subtitles offline, hassle-free!

- Subtitle Hide/Show: Customize your viewing experience by hiding or showing all or specific subtitles during video playback. If you encounter a challenging sentence, you can display the corresponding subtitle to aid comprehension.

- Subtitle Playback Control: Easily navigate to specific moments in the video by selecting a subtitle from the list. This feature enables you to focus on specific dialogue lines and practice your listening skills through repetition.

- Sentence Repeat Playback: Enhance your listening and speaking abilities by utilizing the subtitle repeat feature to practice individual dialogue lines. Perfect your pronunciation and mimic native speakers.

- Slow and Fast Playback: Adjust the video playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x to suit your learning needs. Slow down fast-paced conversations for better comprehension, or increase the speed to improve your ability to understand naturally spoken English.

- Bookmark Segments: Create personalized segments within videos based on the story plot or your preferences. Easily replay specific segments to reinforce your understanding or start learning directly from a chosen segment.

- Import Study Materials: Seamlessly import study materials from various sources, including AirDrop, browser uploads, and cloud sharing. Access learning resources that align with your learning goals and study at your own pace.

### 4/5 — 为什么创建不了flash card

*2026-06-24*

说创建了，但是flash card 里没有。而且，也没有管理删除flash card的地方。很难受啊

### 5/5 — 绝对是影子跟读必备软件了

*2026-05-31*

软件可以做到上传任意视频识别出字幕（很高的准确率），一句一句话反复练习。对于打磨发音来说，是非常实用的功能。 还有亮点之一就是对于想反复练习的片段，可以像刷抖音一样没事拿出来看看～

### 5/5 — 超级实用！进步很大！

*2026-04-11*

用过很多学习语言的软件，对比下来，这个最好用了，进步特别快，而且操作也很简单。感谢作者！

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-09-07*

No good

### 4/5 — 播放mkv檔案 快轉進度條會卡住

*2025-08-05, version 8.2.2*

再請幫忙修復 謝謝

### 1/5 — 功能缺失

*2025-07-10*

经常宕机，闪卡删除也不知道在哪里，功能结构不清晰

### 2/5 — 还需要优化

*2025-03-27*

设计这个app的初衷是很好的 其中的功能也都是对提高听力和口语很有帮助的方法 但是flash card每次要等视频出来实在太慢了如果可以优化速度还是很好的功能 另外导入视频中通过链接导入我试了两个youtube的链接全部都是莫名失败又试了b站的也是什么没字幕什么的报错 当下视频都是通过主流社媒看的很少有人本地下载视频 等于根本没法导入视频从而根本无法使用这个app

**Developer response:** flash card的播放速度取决你添加视频的方式，一般来说网络视频速度相对较慢。所以建议添加本地视频。视频链接只支持可播放的视频文件地址，其他的视频网站的视频不支持，这个在app里也有详细的说明。

### 5/5 — !

*2025-02-10*

好！无痛学英语！

### 2/5 — 不推荐

*2025-01-11, version 7.12.1*

使用体验不好

### 5/5 — Perfect job!

*2024-07-31*

Perfect job!
