FAQ
What is the main purpose of Phrabit?
Phrabbit is designed to help users improve their language pronunciation and fluency. It achieves this through a method called shadowing, where users listen to and repeat audio or video passages, and A/B looping to focus on specific segments.
How does Phrabit's shadowing feature work?
The shadowing feature allows you to listen to a selected audio or video range, then repeat it in your own voice. You can then play your recording over the original to compare waveforms and identify pronunciation differences. Subtitles are also displayed and highlighted as they play.
Can Phrabit be used with video content?
Yes, Phrabit supports practicing with video files (MP4, M4V, MOV) and YouTube streams. You can loop specific sections of videos, and if subtitle files (SRT, VTT) are available, they can be displayed and synchronized with the video.
Does Phrabit offer any speech recognition capabilities?
Phrabbit includes a speech-to-text (STT) feature that converts spoken audio into sentence-by-sentence text, synced in real-time to the waveform. This helps learners see exactly which sentence is playing and can be used to create subtitles if none are available.
What devices is Phrabit compatible with?
Phrabbit is available for iPhone and iPad devices, indicated by its supported devices list. It is designed to run on Apple's mobile operating systems.
How often is Phrabit updated?
The latest version of Phrabit, 2.1.1, was released on September 1, 2026. The app was initially released on June 17, 2026, suggesting a relatively recent update cycle.
Is Phrabit free to use?

Does Phrabit have ads?
No, Phrabit does not contain advertisements. The app is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted learning experience.
