What's New in Phrabbit Shadowing & Dictation
3.1.0
September 27, 2026
Hide the subtitles and listen by ear. You can also set a sentence's timing yourself, right on the waveform. • Hide subtitles — the whole file, the sentences you pick, or just the A/B range. Tap a hidden sentence to loop it. (Audio files) • Sentence timing — in a subtitle card's ⋯ > Edit, drag the start and end on the waveform. Neighboring sentences follow the boundary, and Restore original range takes it back any time. (Audio files) • Select All in the library — pick everything in a folder, or every search result, and move it to another folder in one go. • Search in folders and All Items is no longer hidden behind the tab bar (iPhone, iOS 26 and later). In the library and the wordbook, the search field now sits right under the title. • When speech recognition comes back empty, Phrabbit tries once more with another engine. If it still can't make subtitles, it tells you what to check. • Opening Phrabbit no longer stops the music another app is playing — only pressing play does. • After shadowing or dictation on a video or YouTube, playing on no longer runs past the end of the A/B range. • Dictation — on iOS 27, the buttons just above the keyboard (such as Check answer) now respond reliably, and on small screens Save no longer hides while you correct an answer with the keyboard up. The YouTube answer screen can now put the keyboard away. • On iPad (iOS 27), the enlarged handwriting view now fills the screen when you turn it sideways. • Tap anywhere on a library row to open it, not just the title.

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?
Yes, Phrabit is available for free. While the app itself is free, it does have in-app purchases, which may offer additional features or content beyond the core functionality.
Does Phrabit have ads?
No, Phrabit does not contain advertisements. The app is ad-free, allowing for an uninterrupted learning experience.
