Write your notes, then learn by listening. StudyAloud is a study-note app that reads your own notes aloud with text-to-speech. Reading with your eyes alone fades fast — but listening and repeating out loud helps it stick far longer. Jot down vocabulary, exam summaries, or sentences you want to memorize, and review them by ear anytime, even on the go. Both Korean and English voices are supported. ■ Great for • Memorizing English words and sentences by listening and repeating • Replaying certification, college-entrance, or licensing exam summary notes • Practicing dictation while listening to pronunciation • Listening to your notes like an audiobook when your eyes are tired or you're on the move • Hands-free review before bed, during workouts, or on your commute ■ Features • Rich notes — organize key points cleanly with bold, highlighter, headings, and text colors. • Read aloud — play your notes with natural TTS voices. Play, pause, and jump to the previous or next note. • Word highlighting — the word being read is highlighted and the page auto-scrolls to follow along, so it's easy to keep your place. • Section repeat — long-press to select just the word or phrase you want to drill, and it loops only that part. The selected range is shown with a tint. • Repeat mode — repeat a single note, or play through and repeat your whole folder of notes. • Folders — sort notes by subject, topic, or date. • Voice, speed, and pitch — pick from the voices installed on your device and tune the playback speed and tone to your taste. • Export / import — back up your notes and folders to a file, and restore them on a new device. • Dark mode — light and dark themes for comfortable reading at night. • Korean & English UI — choose the app language yourself. ■ Privacy • No sign-up required — start using it right away. • Your notes are stored only on your device and are never sent anywhere. Build the habit of learning by listening — start with StudyAloud.
