EchoNative — Turn the podcasts you already listen to into a deep-listening practice room. For upper-intermediate and advanced English learners who want to truly understand the podcasts they listen to — not just follow along. Import a podcast RSS feed, Apple Podcasts link, or local audio file you have the right to listen to. EchoNative auto-generates word-perfect subtitles powered by OpenAI Whisper, so you stop guessing and start studying. WHAT'S INSIDE • AI Subtitles — Whisper-grade transcripts with word-level timestamps. Tap a word to hear it again. • Sentence Breakdown — Tap any sentence for an instant GPT-4o analysis: literal translation, idiomatic translation, syntax structure, and the rhetorical device behind it. • Instant Word Lookup — Tap any word for a clean dictionary card. No browser jumping, no copy-paste. • Shadowing & Scoring — Record yourself shadowing a sentence. Get an instant pronunciation + fluency score from on-device + AI evaluation. • Smart Vocabulary — Save words and phrases you actually encounter. SM-2 spaced repetition surfaces them again at the perfect moment. • Phrase Discovery — Run a one-tap scan on any episode to surface the idioms and collocations hiding in the transcript. Add them to your vocabulary with one more tap. • Anki Export — Take your vocab anywhere. One tap exports a clean .csv ready for Anki. WHO IT'S FOR You can already follow most native English content, but you want to: - Notice what slips past you in real-time listening - Build a vocabulary of words and phrases that actually matter to you (not someone else's textbook) - Practice shadowing without external apps or paper If you're at CEFR B2/C1 trying to push to C2, this is built for you.
