Pocket Prosody

Find the rhythm hiding in your verse. Pocket Prosody is a private, offline scansion studio for poets, lyricists, students, teachers, actors, and anyone curious about meter. Type or paste a passage to get a suggested stress pattern, then shape the reading yourself. SCAN AND REVISE • See words divided into syllables with suggested stress • Tap any syllable to correct the reading • Spot uncertain and unrecognized words instead of trusting a black box SEE THE FEET • Follow visible, numbered metrical foot boundaries • Compare iambic, trochaic, anapestic, and dactylic patterns • Identify inversions, spondees, pyrrhics, incomplete feet, and other variations • Hear your edited stress pattern as an audible beat EXPORT FINISHED WORK • Create a clean, paginated annotated PDF • Make a high-resolution long PNG image • Include your edited stresses, meter, foot boundaries, and substitution notes • Share only when you choose LEARN BY DOING • Work through 40 original lessons • Progress from meter foundations to boundaries and rhythmic variations • Answer deeper craft-lens questions about how a reading works • Consult the built-in meter and substitution guide KEEP A PRIVATE NOTEBOOK • Save and revisit drafts • Keep lesson progress on your device • Export a readable local backup After download, Pocket Prosody works on iPhone and iPad without an account or internet connection. There are no ads, analytics, tracking, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. Drafts and practice history are stored locally; Pocket Prosody never sends them to Y Corp Technologies. Scansion is interpretive. Pocket Prosody offers a considered starting point, not a verdict. Every stress mark remains yours to change. One purchase. A quieter way to listen to language.
