## What is Kikimane?

"Kikimane" is an app designed for learning by listening to and imitating audio materials.
Even as a beginner, you can start by simply getting your ears accustomed to the sounds and mimicking them.
As you progress, you can challenge yourself with exercises like shadowing and repeating.
You can also use the app to play audio continuously while commuting or doing other tasks to train your listening skills.
While the app does not include pre-made study materials, it utilizes the natural language processing and text-to-speech capabilities of your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to create your own custom audio content in the following languages:
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Korean, and Japanese.
Audio quality depends on the system's capabilities.
Additionally, by importing external audio, the app can be used for various listening-and-mimicking exercises beyond language learning—such as practicing announcements or speeches.

By leveraging iOS natural language processing, we have improved text analysis accuracy, resulting in better text-to-speech output.
