Create custom flashcards with images, voice recordings, and multi-language text-to-speech support. Images and audio can be added to both the question and answer sides of your cards. Easily create questions by snapping photos of reference materials, textbook pages, complex math formulas, symbols, or diagrams that are tedious to type. # Study Modes & Features: - Flexible Display Formats: Standard flashcard mode and a list view for quick reviewing. - Customizable Study Options: Cards can be shuffled, in order or reverse order, or flipped (swap questions and answers). - Landscape Support: Fully supports horizontal orientation for comfortable viewing. [Note on Text-to-Speech Settings] The app cannot read aloud text that is in a different language from the selected setting. (For example, if the language is set to "English," any Japanese text on the card will not be read.)

A whole two-hour film — five minutes at a time, all the way through. Langplayer loops sections of your own audio against its script. Repeat one sentence until you actually hear it, then move to the next. ■ A-B repeat · Mark A and B on the waveform and that stretch loops forever · Nudge either point in 0.1-second steps · Choose how many repeats and how long the silence between them is — say it out loud while it waits ■ Listen with the script beside you · Subtitles (.srt .vtt), plain text (.txt) or a PDF all work as a script · Paste a news transcript straight from the web · Search a line you half-remember and it scrolls right to it ■ Keep the parts that were hard · Name a segment and jump back to it any time · Link it to a script page and the script follows along ■ 0.5× to 2× · Pitch stays natural. Slow down to catch it, speed up to check it ■ No servers, no accounts · Nothing to sign up for. Your materials, scripts and progress stay on your device · No limit on how many materials you add, and every feature is open · Free with ads; one payment removes them for good Languages: 한국어 · English · 日本語 · Español · Français Bring your own audio and script — this app does not provide content.
