v1.1: 68 curated podcasts to pick from. Share from Apple Podcasts or Safari to import in one tap. Real scrub-seek player. Deep listening, smarter than ever.
EchoNative — Turn the podcasts you already listen to into a deep-listening practice room.
For upper-intermediate and advanced English learners who want to truly
understand the podcasts they listen to — not just follow along.
Import a podcast RSS feed, Apple Podcasts link, or local audio file
you have the right to listen to. EchoNative auto-generates word-perfect
subtitles powered by OpenAI Whisper, so you stop guessing and start
studying.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• AI Subtitles — Whisper-grade transcripts with word-level timestamps.
Tap a word to hear it again.
• Sentence Breakdown — Tap any sentence for an instant GPT-4o analysis:
literal translation, idiomatic translation, syntax structure, and the
rhetorical device behind it.
• Instant Word Lookup — Tap any word for a clean dictionary card.
No browser jumping, no copy-paste.
• Shadowing & Scoring — Record yourself shadowing a sentence. Get an
instant pronunciation + fluency score from on-device + AI evaluation.
• Smart Vocabulary — Save words and phrases you actually encounter.
SM-2 spaced repetition surfaces them again at the perfect moment.
• Phrase Discovery — Run a one-tap scan on any episode to surface the
idioms and collocations hiding in the transcript. Add them to your
vocabulary with one more tap.
• Anki Export — Take your vocab anywhere. One tap exports a clean .csv
ready for Anki.
WHO IT'S FOR
You can already follow most native English content, but you want to:
- Notice what slips past you in real-time listening
- Build a vocabulary of words and phrases that actually matter to you
(not someone else's textbook)
- Practice shadowing without external apps or paper
If you're at CEFR B2/C1 trying to push to C2, this is built for you.
