ShadowTeep helps you turn your own notes and phrases into repeatable listening and speaking practice. Write the sentence you want to own, hear it with on-device text-to-speech, and shadow it until it feels natural. Drill one line at a time, use Play All for a full note, favorite the phrases you need most, and keep practice material synced across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Found a line worth practising in a textbook, on a menu, or on a sign? Point the camera at it, swipe the lines you want, and they land in your note — list numbers and speaker labels removed for you. On iPad, draw a box around the text with Apple Pencil. Text is recognized on your device. English and Chinese voice paths run on device after setup, so practice can continue offline once the required voice assets are ready.

A speaking coach that guides you, listens to you, and scores you — available 24/7, for a fraction of one tutoring lesson. Snap a passage, screenshot a chat, import a video, or just paste text — EnLoop splits it into sentences right on your iPhone: hear a natural-sounding read-aloud, shadow it, and the moment you stop you get a pronunciation score with word-by-word feedback. Understand it, remember it, and get reminded right before you forget. Everything runs on your device: recognition, speech synthesis, scoring and enrichment are all on-device inference. No account, no backend, and your voice never leaves the device — practice offline anytime. — How it works — • Snap or screenshot to capture words — instant on-device OCR • Import a video — auto-transcribed into practice • Type or paste any English • Sentence-by-sentence read-aloud + shadowing + instant pronunciation score • One tap to turn an unknown word into a flashcard, with an image to help you remember • SM-2 spaced repetition schedules your reviews; local reminders when they're due • Home-screen widget for today's reviews and your streak • Select a word in any other app and share it straight into EnLoop • On-device AI fills in definitions / translations / examples (optional enhanced model; works offline once downloaded) • iCloud sync across devices; export learning packs to share with classmates Visible progress is where motivation comes from — we hope speaking English becomes the part of your day you look forward to. — Privacy by architecture — EnLoop has no inference server, no user database, and no account. Your recordings, photos and imported content stay on your device. The only things that need the network are optional content downloads and iCloud sync. For iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max / 16 and later, iOS 26+.
