Shadow: English Shadowing

About Shadow: English Shadowing

ASK SHADOW — your English coach, right inside the app The thing you need, when you're writing a message and not sure how an English speaker would actually say it. Now you can just ask. • Say it in your own language. Get back what a native would really say — not one dictionary word, but the two or three ways it's actually said, each with what it brings with it: how formal it is, who says it, what it quietly implies. • Paste something you wrote. See it rewritten the way people speak, plus a looser version for a message to a friend — and one line on the thing worth remembering. • Hear every answer. Each example comes with a British, American or Australian voice, male or female, and the phonetic transcription under the words. Tap once to save it straight into your drills. • Practise what you keep getting wrong. A ten-round daily session built from your own saved phrases and the mistakes the app has been quietly noting. Answer out loud or type. You get marked one answer at a time, with your own sentence next to the correction — so you can see exactly what changed. Everything you save becomes something to shadow: listen, repeat, record yourself, compare. DARK MODE The whole app now follows your phone, or you can pin it to Light or Dark in Profile. Dark for the bus home and the sofa after midnight, light for the morning train. Practising at night shouldn't feel like staring at a torch. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Dictation types where your cursor is — skip a question, come back to it, and your words land in the right place. • Anything you type while the mic is on stays yours. • Sharper transcription for imported files and YouTube clips. • Crop, trim and rotate any clip after you've added it. • Fixes across drilling, saved phrases and exports.
