Find the rhythm hiding in your verse.
Pocket Prosody is a private, offline scansion studio for poets, lyricists, students, teachers, actors, and anyone curious about meter. Type or paste a passage to get a suggested stress pattern, then shape the reading yourself.
SCAN AND REVISE
• See words divided into syllables with suggested stress
• Tap any syllable to correct the reading
• Spot uncertain and unrecognized words instead of trusting a black box
SEE THE FEET
• Follow visible, numbered metrical foot boundaries
• Compare iambic, trochaic, anapestic, and dactylic patterns
• Identify inversions, spondees, pyrrhics, incomplete feet, and other variations
• Hear your edited stress pattern as an audible beat
EXPORT FINISHED WORK
• Create a clean, paginated annotated PDF
• Make a high-resolution long PNG image
• Include your edited stresses, meter, foot boundaries, and substitution notes
• Share only when you choose
LEARN BY DOING
• Work through 40 original lessons
• Progress from meter foundations to boundaries and rhythmic variations
• Answer deeper craft-lens questions about how a reading works
• Consult the built-in meter and substitution guide
KEEP A PRIVATE NOTEBOOK
• Save and revisit drafts
• Keep lesson progress on your device
• Export a readable local backup
After download, Pocket Prosody works on iPhone and iPad without an account or internet connection. There are no ads, analytics, tracking, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. Drafts and practice history are stored locally; Pocket Prosody never sends them to Y Corp Technologies.
Scansion is interpretive. Pocket Prosody offers a considered starting point, not a verdict. Every stress mark remains yours to change.
One purchase. A quieter way to listen to language.
