If a word does not come back from meaning alone, it may not be fully learned yet. WordNeuron helps move vocabulary from recognition to recall using story images, example sentences, recall checks, and FSRS-based review timing. [Key Features] • Recall from meaning — think of the word before seeing the answer • Story images — remember words through visual context • Example listening and translation — study words inside practical sentences • FSRS review — review words when they are most likely to fade • TOEIC and TOEFL packs — vocabulary organized around test-like contexts [Recommended for] • Learners who recognize words but cannot recall them quickly • TOEIC and TOEFL learners who want sentence-based vocabulary practice • Anyone who wants short daily review sessions that actually stick • Learners who want to practice recalling English words from meaning [How it works] 1. Learn each word with image, meaning, and example sentence 2. Recall the word from meaning after a short interval 3. Check the answer and sentence context 4. Choose how well you remembered it; FSRS schedules the next review The sample pack is free. Full TOEIC and TOEFL series packs are available as in-app purchases.
Langplayer

A whole two-hour film — five minutes at a time, all the way through. Langplayer loops sections of your own audio against its script. Repeat one sentence until you actually hear it, then move to the next. ■ A-B repeat · Mark A and B on the waveform and that stretch loops forever · Nudge either point in 0.1-second steps · Choose how many repeats and how long the silence between them is — say it out loud while it waits ■ Listen with the script beside you · Subtitles (.srt .vtt), plain text (.txt) or a PDF all work as a script · Paste a news transcript straight from the web · Search a line you half-remember and it scrolls right to it ■ Keep the parts that were hard · Name a segment and jump back to it any time · Link it to a script page and the script follows along ■ 0.5× to 2× · Pitch stays natural. Slow down to catch it, speed up to check it ■ No servers, no accounts · Nothing to sign up for. Your materials, scripts and progress stay on your device · No limit on how many materials you add, and every feature is open · Free with ads; one payment removes them for good Languages: 한국어 · English · 日本語 · Español · Français Bring your own audio and script — this app does not provide content.
