Flashcards & Shadowing: Snova

Flashcard maker and speaking practice app for iPhone and iPad. Study new words and use shadowing to sound like a native! The Snova app turns the videos you already watch into speaking practice, and the words you meet into flashcards that stick. Paste a link to a video you like from social media, or share it straight to Snova, and it becomes a pronunciation lesson. A native speaker says a line, you repeat it, and you keep going until it sounds right. Interpreters and language teachers have used shadowing for decades, usually with textbook audio. Here you do it with a creator you already listen to. WHY SHADOWING WORKS Reading a word tells you what it means. Repeating it out loud after a native speaker tells you how it actually sounds: the rhythm, the way words run into each other, the sounds your own language never asks you to make. Plenty of learners understand far more than they can say. Shadowing works on the second half. Snova transcribes the video right on your iPhone or iPad and splits it into lines. Slow a line down, replay it, then record yourself. Dub Mode puts your voice on the video so you can watch it back and share it. Turn it off to get a score for your pronunciation, intonation and timing. Ten minutes a day is enough to hear the difference in your own recordings! LEARN THE WORDS, NOT JUST THE SOUNDS Tap any word in a video and it becomes a flashcard. Snova schedules your reviews with FSRS, a modern spaced repetition algorithm: you rate each card Again, Hard, Good or Easy, and it comes back right before you'd forget it. Your vocabulary comes from videos you picked yourself, so you end up learning the words people actually use. READY-MADE DECKS IN THE LIBRARY Not sure where to start? The Library has ready-made decks for 14 languages: alphabets, grammar, verbs and everyday words with translations. Add one in a tap and start reviewing. CARDS FOR ANYTHING YOU STUDY A word card can carry up to three languages, so you can learn two languages alongside your native one. A definition card has a term on one side and what it means on the other. Question and answer cards take anything you'd be asked out loud: an exam question, a formula you have to reproduce. Write them yourself, or describe a topic and get a deck back.
