About

Etch

Read full description

You want Scripture to shape the way you live: how you encourage someone, share your faith, or hold to God's promises when you need them most. But when it is time to memorize, one question can stop you before you begin: What should I learn? Etch puts an answer in front of you. START WITH A TRACK Explore ready-made tracks that gather verses around identity, faith, grace, relationships, spiritual warfare, and the moments that shape everyday life. Choose what speaks to where you are, or add any verse of your own. Churches, schools, small groups, and other communities can create organizations and share their own Scripture tracks, giving everyone a meaningful place to begin together. LEARN ONE STEP AT A TIME - Read each passage in a focused, beautiful space - Practice with blanks or first-letter prompts - Type from memory or recite aloud with optional voice input - Move into full recall as the words become familiar RETURN BEFORE YOU FORGET Etch brings verses back for review on a thoughtful schedule. Your Today screen keeps the next step clear, while the stained-glass memory wall fills pane by pane as you learn. MAKE SCRIPTURE MEMORY PART OF DAILY LIFE Use Etch without an account, or sign in to keep your verses, tracks, and progress in sync. Create personal tracks for what God is teaching you now. Return wherever you have a few quiet minutes. Etch is always free and ad-free. No subscriptions. No locked features. Just a calm, intentional place to equip yourself with the Word of God.

Your family already learns songs by heart without trying. ScriptLoop uses that. Paste the verse your family is memorizing this week โ€” or a poem, a catechism question, a speech, or the grammar rule your kid keeps forgetting. Pick how it should sound. Press play. ScriptLoop turns the text into an actual song, or reads it aloud in a natural voice, and loops it while you live your life: the drive to school, breakfast, folding laundry before bed. As it loops, words drop off the screen and your brain fills them in. By Sunday, your kid is singing it without the page. HEAR IT BEFORE YOU SIGN UP Open the app and play the samples on the home screen โ€” the same passage of Psalm 23 in pop, worship, and hip-hop, plus two more. No account, no card, no email. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Turn any text into an AI-generated song, in the style you choose โ€ข Or hear it spoken in a natural AI voice โ€ข Loop playback with an adjustable gap between repeats โ€ข Focus Mode: words hide progressively as the loop repeats, so recall replaces reading โ€ข Record the passage in your own voice and loop that instead โ€ข Keep every take โ€” generating a new song never erases an earlier one โ€ข Household profiles, so everyone memorizing shares one account โ€ข Send a script to someone with a share link BRING YOUR OWN TEXT ScriptLoop does not ship a Bible. You paste the text you want, which means it works just as well for a catechism question, a Shakespeare monologue, the Gettysburg Address, a wedding toast, lines for a play, or the fifty state capitals. FREE TO START The free plan includes unlimited scripts, one AI-generated song on us, about ten minutes of AI voice a month, unlimited recordings in your own voice, and Focus Mode. SUBSCRIPTIONS Voice โ€” $5.99 per month: 75,000 characters of AI voice a month and faster generation limits. Music โ€” $9.99 per month: everything in Voice, plus 200,000 characters of AI voice and 12 AI-generated songs a month. One subscription covers the whole household. There is no per-student pricing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in Account Settings after purchase. NEEDS AN INTERNET CONNECTION ScriptLoop generates and streams audio from our servers, so it needs a network connection to work. There is no offline mode. Questions: hello@scriptloop.app Privacy Policy: https://scriptloop.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://scriptloop.app/terms
