Repeat Player cut&loop
Audio Player for Learners
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
cut&loop is an audio player that lets you cue and repeat language-learning audio, podcasts, lecture and meeting recordings, drama CDs, and generated audio at the phrase level.
With automatic phrase splitting based on silence detection, AB repeat, pause insertion, variable speed playback, and transcription, it makes re-listening and focused practice much easier.
From when you select your first audio, you can try ad-free and background playback with no subscription for a limited time. After 3 days, removing ads and using background playback requires an in-app purchase. No account is required.
Main features
• Automatic phrase splitting using silence detection for easy phrase cueing
• AB repeat, pause insertion, and 0.5×–2.5× playback speed
• Transcription and translation, plus pronunciation checks with speech recognition
• Audio recording and automatic playback of recorded audio
• Sleep Timer (iOS 18.4 or later)
Works with audio from your music library, files, and downloaded podcasts (some content, such as DRM-protected audio and audio from the Books app, is not supported).
