Whether you're trying to learn a new language, prepare for a test, or expand your knowledge, this app has you covered. Download now and start learning on the go!
Audio Flashcards is a hands-free learning app that helps you study more effectively using audio-based flashcards and spaced repetition. Create cards by recording your own voice or by using text-to-speech, then review them while commuting, exercising, or doing housework, all without looking at the screen.
How it works:
Record yourself saying the question and the answer, or instantly generate both with text-to-speech.
Audio Flashcards is ideal for language learning, exam preparation, medical and professional study, and anyone who wants to remember information more effectively. The app turns your idle time into productive revision sessions. Whether you are walking, driving, taking public transport, or at the gym, you can reinforce what you have learned without interrupting your day.
Audio-based learning engages auditory memory, which can make information easier to retain than traditional text flashcards. You can choose specific decks or subsets to review, and the spaced repetition system schedules cards at the right time to strengthen long-term memory.
Creating new cards is fast and simple. Record the question and answer, or use text-to-speech if you prefer not to use your own voice.
What makes Audio Flashcards different is its audio-first design. Instead of scrolling through text flashcards, you learn by listening, which makes it easy to study while multitasking. Many learners find they remember information better when hearing it, especially during daily routines.
Download Audio Flashcards and turn your commute and downtime into valuable learning opportunities.

I’ve been using this app to help with vocabulary building for a foreign language that I have general fluency with, and it is a GREAT resource, especially if your language learning needs don’t fit the one-size-fits-all that many apps offer. Creating audio flash cards is a simple process, you can customize and re-record them as needed, and the developers are super responsive to feedback - I asked if there was a chance to add the ability to review cards with the answer first and within a week, the developers had added the feature! Highly recommend this app for anyone looking for a customizable way to study something, especially with the ability to review via audio.
Glad this exists but…

First, when I was thinking this would be a great way to prep for stuff, I was surprised that there weren’t more options and, at the same time, very glad there was this app which had most of what I wanted. While I wish I could type in or import stuff so that a generated voice could read it, the fact that it will play both the prompt and the answer with a definable pause as well as continue playing without any user interaction makes it perfect for use while driving. I also appreciate the ability to make edits even if it’s basically re-recording then trimming/deleting the first version. In addition, I like being able to have nested folders that all play if the parent is chosen for review. The biggest downside to this app is lack of documentation (new explanations for some things but could use more) and behavior (why does it think I’m done reviewing for the day after one pass through and which of the other methods will mimic normal review?). It would be great to just keep the whole stack on repeat with a random order; perhaps, using the microphone, it could be set to determine if you gave the wrong answer and prioritize those. I’d also like the ability to review with the screen off and/or in the background while doing other stuff on my device. Finally, while I appreciate the fact that it can be used hands free, you can also hold it and mark your successes and failures. Unfortunately, if you mark a success before the playback is complete (or mostly), it’ll count it as skipped then going back takes a little more effort than you’d think plus you still have to listen again rather than simply marking it as complete. Basically, that mode is more frustrating than it is useful (don’t think it maintains stats). All in all, glad to have this app and glad it’s free.
Great for a new language

This app has really helped me excel in learning a new language. Instead of reading the words, hearing them, and hearing your own pronunciation, has helped me to nail down some words faster. I also love that I can set it and go hands free on long commutes to work. Two fixes I think that could make the app better: 1) being able to search for flash cards that you have named. I have hundreds of flash cards and when I come across one I have pronounced wrong, I’m unable to edit from the review screen. Going back to the main deck of cards and scrolling through 100s to find the one that’s wrong is very challenging. Or at the very least have the option to sort alphabetically.2) if item 1 gets updated this is less important, but I flagged 20 cards that were wrong or hard to understand. I went to re-record them and after marking one as unflagged, it lost all the other flagged cards. Thank you for making this app! It’s so close to perfect and really a game changer in my progress!
Developer Response
Thank you for your review! Great news search functionality is coming in the next version, and it’s almost ready for release. I will look into the mentioned bug with flagged cards.

I’m very happy with this app so far! Love that you can make folders and each flash card has lots of options when making it. It’s great it also keeps the statistics and gives you different practice options. For anyone else trying to learn music my ear, this is great! I record a little clip of me playing the note on the bass ( or other instrument) to play back and then can practice when I’m not at home.
