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+.
LoopListen

LoopListen is an audio player built for one thing: listening again, and again. Open an MP3 from a chat, email or the Files app, choose “Open in Other App → LoopListen”, and it starts looping right away. TAP A, TAP B — THAT'S IT While listening, tap A at the start of a phrase and B at the end. The phrase loops seamlessly. Drag the A/B handles on the waveform or nudge them by 0.1 s to land on exactly the right word. A is placed a fraction earlier so the first word never gets clipped. MADE FOR PRACTICE • Speed from 0.5× to 2.0× without changing pitch • Shadowing pauses between passes — 1 to 10 seconds, or as long as the loop — so you can repeat aloud • Repeat forever, or stop after a set number of passes • Save several loops per file and switch with one tap OPENS ANYTHING, REMEMBERS EVERYTHING • Import from chat apps, Mail and Files via “Open in Other App” • Wide format support: MP3, M4A/AAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, CAF, FLAC, Opus, MP2, M4B audiobooks • Video works too: MP4 and MOV show the picture above the waveform, with the same A-B repeat, speed and shadowing pauses — sound stays the focus • Remembers position, loop points and speed for every file • Background playback, Lock Screen and Control Center controls, pauses when headphones are unplugged SIMPLE AND PRIVATE • No sign-up, no ads, no tracking • Your files stay on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded Great for language listening and shadowing, memorising texts, dictation, learning songs, instrument practice, and replaying key moments of lectures or meetings.
