EngrAmo is a powerful spaced-repetition flashcard app built for serious learners. Whether you're studying a language, preparing for an exam, or building any long-term skill. EngrAmo schedules every card at exactly the right moment so you review what you need — and skip what you already know. And with the new Shadowing mode, you don't just remember words — you learn to say them. SHADOWING — PRACTICE SPEAKING OUT LOUD Turn any catalog into a speaking workout. Listen to a phrase, repeat it aloud, and EngrAmo checks what you said with instant feedback. Choose the practice style that fits you: • Play, then listen — hear the phrase first, then say it yourself • Listen only — say the phrase without hearing it first • Dotted reveal — the phrase starts hidden and appears word by word as you speak it correctly "Continue practicing" keeps your recent sessions one tap away, so you can pick up right where you left off. RICH MULTIMEDIA CARDS Every card supports text with rich formatting, images, and audio clips. Add text-to-speech to any card and configure the voice, language, speed, and pitch — so your cards can speak for themselves, even with your screen locked. SMART SPACED REPETITION Grade each card with four responses (Again, Hard, Good, Easy) and EngrAmo's algorithm schedules the next review at the optimal interval. Your catalog always shows how many cards are due, so you know exactly what to study next. LEARNING PATHS Organize catalogs into curated sequences called Learning Paths — perfect for structured courses or topic series. Work through them in order and track your progress across the entire path. LOCK-SCREEN PLAYER Play through your cards hands-free. Audio and TTS playback continues in the background with full lock-screen controls, so you can study while commuting, exercising, or doing anything else. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT All your catalogs are private unless you choose to share them. No data is sold or used for advertising. WHO IS ENGRAMO FOR? • Language learners building vocabulary and speaking confidence • Students preparing for exams • Professionals memorising terminology or procedures • Anyone who takes long-term learning seriously Download EngrAmo and turn study time into lasting knowledge — and confident speech.

Learning a language is one thing. Using it when you actually need it is another. Maybe you need to prepare for a job interview, make an important phone call, talk to a doctor, join a meeting, travel somewhere new, or simply feel more confident in everyday conversation. Lumio gives you speaking practice built around the situations that matter to you. Choose what you need to prepare for, describe your situation, and practise the conversation with Lumio before it happens. Instead of following only fixed lessons, you practise language in the context of your own life — with the vocabulary and conversations you are likely to need. With Lumio you can: • practise speaking around your own goals and situations • prepare for specific conversations and events • practise vocabulary in the context where you will actually use it • become more comfortable speaking spontaneously • save useful phrases from your practice • review them later with learning cards Lumio also includes Live Assistant mode for moments when you need help understanding, translating or communicating in real time. Your language practice shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Practise the conversations that fit your life and what you need next.
