Engraved helps you memorize Scripture by saying it out loud. You recite a verse, the app listens and checks each word as you speak, and spaced repetition brings the verse back for review before you'd forget it. Everything runs on your device, and your voice is never recorded or sent anywhere. No account, no ads, free. • Recite, don't retype. Say the verse aloud and Rhema, the built-in voice engine, follows along word by word, so you know immediately whether you have it. Prefer typing? That works too. • Learn in three passes. First half the words are hidden, then all of them, then you recite the whole verse, recalling from memory instead of reading off the screen. • Review before you forget. Spaced repetition schedules each verse's return just before it would fade, so verses you learned months ago stay with you. • Find the right verses. All 66 books, verse by verse, plus collections for grief, fear, weariness, waiting, doubt, and joy. • Memorize together. Build a list from any verses: a church can run a shared program, a family can set its own. Profiles keep each person's progress separate on one device.

About

Memorize It

Features
Read full description

Every line of your passage becomes a picture. Look at the picture, say the line — and you are off the page far sooner than re-reading gets you there. Memorize It works on anything you want to be able to say without looking at it: scripture, poetry, speeches, lines for a play, wedding vows. There are three ways to practise, and you can move between them freely. FILL IN THE BLANKS Start with the whole passage in front of you. Each round blanks out a few more words, so you are always working just past what you already know. Nothing is hidden from you until you have had a chance to learn it. Tap any blank once for its first letter, again for the whole word. SAY IT ALOUD The app reads the passage back to you and leaves the blanks silent, so your own voice fills the gaps. Audio is produced by your device, which means it works with no signal and costs nothing to use. PICTURE PROMPTS Every line gets its own illustration. Looking at a picture and recalling the line it stands for is a different kind of remembering than reading the words again — it gets you off the page sooner. READY-MADE COLLECTIONS Sets that arrive already illustrated, with nothing to generate and nothing to wait for. Four psalms to begin with, free. And the ninety-six passages studied in seminary doctrinal mastery, grouped by book — Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants — each book one purchase, bought once and kept. ALSO IN THE APP • Your library colours itself by how well you know each passage, so one glance shows what still needs work • Split a long passage into parts, so each picture illustrates a single line rather than a whole paragraph • Share a passage as a link that anyone can open, whether or not they have the app installed • Your library syncs across your devices • Delete your account and everything in it from inside the app FREE AND PRO Writing, practising and audio are free and unlimited. Generating pictures is free up to an allowance; a Pro subscription raises that allowance each month. Collections are bought once and kept. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Memorize It Pro is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. ABOUT YOUR TEXT Writing, practising and listening happen without any third party seeing your passages. The one exception is picture generation, which sends that passage's text to Google so a model can illustrate it. The app tells you this before you use it, and if a passage is private you can simply not generate pictures for it. There is no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking across other apps or websites.
