Your music. More than playback. Otoha is a player for the audio you own: local music, listening audio from class, and the songs you made with AI. Synced subtitles follow every line — and when a line loses you, tap it and ask AI. The music keeps playing. WHY OTOHA • Audio opened inside a chat app stops when the screen locks — and files expire after a few days. Saved in Otoha, it plays with the screen off and never expires. • Songs in streaming playlists gray out. Files you own don't get delisted. • AI songs download as random IDs with no synced lyrics. Here they become finished works with artwork and a timeline. YOUR LIBRARY • Import from iCloud and Files, or subscribe to podcasts by RSS • Plays MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, ALAC, FLAC, AIFF audio and MP4, M4V, MOV video — no converting, no iTunes • Imports access files in place, so your storage isn't doubled. Removing a playlist never deletes originals SUBTITLES & LYRICS • Embedded lyrics, LRC/SRT import, online lyrics, or automatic transcription into timed captions • Correct any line by hand — once, permanently • The current line shows on the lock screen ASK AI ABOUT ANY LINE • Meaning, grammar, vocabulary, and the culture behind a lyric — with follow-up questions • On-device explanations are free on supported devices; Cloud AI unlocks deeper follow-ups (optional subscription) PRACTICE TOOLS • 0.5x–3.0x speed without pitch shift • Sentence loops and A-B loops • Listening stats that count only real playback time AI DJ & STAGE • Tell AI DJ your mood, an artist, or a musical style; it builds and starts a playlist from your library and, when enabled, Apple Music • Stage turns lyrics into a live visual show SHARING • Send music files via the share sheet or AirDrop (only files you have the right to distribute) • Turn a favorite line into a lyric card for social apps FREE & OPTIONAL UPGRADES Download and basic playback are free, with no ads. On-device AI explanations are free on supported devices (iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence-capable models, iPhone 15 Pro or later). Cloud AI and some advanced features are optional purchases. You bring the audio. Otoha helps you understand it. Terms of Use: https://otoha.co/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://otoha.co/en/privacy/
