Numbers by Ear

Numbers are the hardest words to catch. A price at the register, a train announcement, a phone number read out fast: you know every word, and still the number slips past. Numbers by Ear trains exactly that, in dozens of languages, with the voices already on your iPhone or iPad. HEAR IT, TYPE IT Listen to a number and type what you heard. Each answer stays on screen, written out in words, so the moment "quatre-vingt-dix-sept" becomes 97 is the one you remember. Replay it, slow it down, and climb from single digits to millions. LEARN HOW NUMBERS ARE BUILT Tap any number to hear it, see it written out and see the pieces it is said in. Each language's building blocks come in order, with notes on the parts that trip learners up. SAY IT BACK See a number and say it aloud. It is checked on your device, so you see what was heard and can hear how the voice says it. Nothing is recorded or sent. PLAY WITH NUMBERS Stars from practice open short games in every language: deliver parcels to the house you heard, crack a safe, play bingo, spot whales by calling out squares, and more. Some of them you play by speaking. EVERYDAY NUMBERS Prices, times, dates, phone numbers, years, percentages, decimals, ordinals and codes, spoken the way each language actually says them, alone or inside everyday sentences. FIND YOUR TROUBLE SPOTS Stats show which numbers you mix up and which ones you only get right slowly. Fix This builds a session from exactly those. A DAILY GOAL Ten right answers a day, from any mix of practice and games, make a day of your week. An optional reminder comes only on days you have not practiced yet. FREE TO START, ONE-TIME PRO Plain numbers in every range, prices, Learn, Say It Back, sentences, every voice and five games are free. A one-time Pro purchase adds every other number type, mixed review, Fix This and five more games. No ads, no subscription, no account. If you bought the app before, Pro is already yours. Works in light and dark mode, follows your text size, and keeps your progress in your own iCloud.
