Turn your own audio into listening practice, one sentence at a time. LingoReplay brings subtitle transcription, dictation, vocabulary analysis and Audio Segments together. Import lessons, podcasts, conversations, recordings or videos, practice difficult passages, and return to the words you need to hear again. SUBTITLE TRANSCRIPTION Generate subtitles for supported audio and video languages. Follow the text during playback, tap a sentence to replay it, and correct the text when needed. You can also import LRC/SRT subtitles. Long recordings are processed in sections with progress saved, so you can resume unfinished transcription. Availability depends on your device, OS and downloaded language resources. DICTATION: LISTEN, TYPE, CHECK Practice sentences or words using your subtitles. Type what you hear and check your answer with word-by-word feedback. Replay a missed word or listen from the first gap to the end of the sentence. Adjust playback speed and lead-in time to suit your practice. Start with unpracticed content, your last playback position or a saved segment, work in manageable rounds, and resume saved drafts. VOCABULARY ANALYSIS Use completed dictation records to see first-listen recognition rates, initial and final accuracy, missed words and replay counts. View practice trends by learning language, find words you repeatedly miss or replay, and focus your review. These statistics describe your practice performance; they do not measure vocabulary size or certify a proficiency level. AUDIO SEGMENTS (A-B REPEAT) Set points A and B to save a passage as a segment. Loop a difficult sentence, play saved segments in sequence, or export one or several segments. Saving a segment never trims or changes your original file. Keep the useful parts of a lesson ready for focused practice. MORE WAYS TO LEARN • Sentence playback, speed controls and subtitle navigation for focused listening. • Look up, translate and save words and phrases in context. • Record shadowing practice, compare with the original and keep your results. • Import audio, video and LRC/SRT subtitles from Files or a trusted private Wi-Fi network. Organize material with folders, favorites and playlists.

LoopLingo

Stop rewinding. Turn any lesson audio into a listening drill you can repeat forever. LoopLingo is an offline A-B loop practice tool for language learners. Import a dialogue, course audio or a podcast episode you already own, pin the sentence you want to master with two loop points, and play it on repeat — slower if you need it, with a silent gap after each repeat for speaking along. WHAT'S INSIDE • A-B loop, made for sentences — Drag two handles around the exact phrase you're drilling. The loop is exact to 0.01 seconds and never drifts. • Several sentences per drill — Pin multiple loop points in one file and switch sentences while practising. Each one keeps its own speed and gap. • Slow down without chipmunk — Speed from 0.50x to 1.25x with pitch untouched, so every word stays natural at a pace you can catch. • Your turn gap — Add a silent 0.5–2 second pause after each repeat and speak along. Shadowing, built into the loop itself. • Lock screen practice — Keep practising from the lock screen and Control Center: the drill name, which sentence you're on, playback speed at 0.5x / 0.75x / 1.0x and a 5-second jump back (lock screen speed controls require iOS 27; playback itself works on every supported version). • Spotlight and Siri — Saved drills appear in system search, and the "LoopLingo continue drill" shortcut resumes your last sentence, loop points and speed exactly where you left them. • Saved drills — Every drill keeps its loop points, speed, gap, tags and your notes. Tomorrow's practice reopens the identical loop in one tap. • Practice history — Repeats completed, minutes practised and the speed you used, kept per session so you can see the streak build. • Repeat control — Loop a fixed number of times, for a set duration, or until you stop. • Works offline — No account, no sign-in, no ads, no subscription. Your audio stays on your device. FILE SUPPORT Local audio files only - MP3, WAV, M4A, AIFF and FLAC. DRM-protected tracks from Apple Music or streaming downloads cannot be opened. If a source file is moved or renamed, a first-class Relink flow restores the drill without losing anything. WHAT LOOPLINGO IS NOT • No microphone — the app never listens to or captures audio. • Not a transcription or translation tool. • Not a music looper — no tracks, no playlists, no tempo tools. PAY ONCE LoopLingo works without a purchase: unlimited listening practice, and up to 2 new saved drills per day. A single Lifetime unlock removes the limit — unlimited saved drills, batch import and full practice history. Already-saved drills are never locked away. One payment, no subscription. Built for the ten minutes a day where your ears get faster.
