cut&loop is an audio player that lets you use your own audio for language learning and instrument practice. Jump to the start of a phrase and repeat it for listening practice, shadowing, memorization, or learning music by ear. Playback speed controls, pauses between phrases, and transcription help you get more use out of your audio. ■Main Features ・Automatic phrase splitting based on silence detection, with easy navigation to the start of each phrase ・Phrase repeat and A-B repeat for a selected section ・Pauses between phrases ・Playback speeds from 0.5× to 2.5×, for slower listening practice or getting through podcasts in less time ・Transcription and translation, plus pronunciation checks using speech recognition ・Audio recording and automatic playback of recorded audio ・Bookmarks for phrases you want to listen to again (iOS 26 or later) ・Sleep timer (iOS 18.4 or later) ■Supported Audio Supports audio from your music library, files, and downloaded podcasts. DRM-protected audio, audio within the Books app, and some other content are not supported. ■Free Trial and Subscriptions First-time users can try ad-free and background playback for 3 days after selecting their first audio, without signing up for a subscription. You will not be charged automatically when the trial ends. A subscription is required to use paid features after the free period. No account registration is required. I’m continuing to improve the app to make it easier to use.

About

Easy2Anki

Features
Read full description

Easy2Anki is an app that makes it easy to add English words you encounter on the web directly to Anki. You can register words in as little as about 15 seconds—just by tapping, without manually entering definitions. (This works when the word’s meaning is available in the built-in English–Japanese dictionary.) When you enter a sentence, you can select a single word from it and register both the sentence and the word at the same time. You can add words not only from within the app, but also directly from your web browser by selecting a word and using the Share button (Share Extension). Your registered words and settings are synced via iCloud as long as you use the same Apple ID. For transferring to Anki, iPhone and iPad support one-by-one transfers, while Mac supports batch transfers. (On iPhone and iPad, the Anki app is required. On Mac, both the Anki app and the AnkiConnect plugin are required.)
