Transcribe. Repeat. Learn.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rehear is an audio player built specifically for language learning. Use course audio and podcasts to make listening, shadowing, and dictation practice dramatically more efficient.
“Managing downloaded course audio is a hassle.”
“I want to practice by listening to the same phrase over and over.”
Rehear was created to solve these common frustrations, bringing automatic phrase detection, waveform navigation, word-level transcription, and other essential tools together in one app.

【Word-Level Transcription】

【A-B Repeat & Playback Speed Control】
・Repeat a phrase with one tap, or use A-B Repeat to replay any selected section as many times as you need.
・Adjust playback speed from 0.5× to 2.0×, whether you’re easing into unfamiliar audio or listening closely to every detail.
