About Shadow: Speak Like a Native
Drop in any clip you love (a scene from a show, a YouTube video, a podcast, or one of the built-in lessons) and Shadow breaks it into short phrases you can loop and master.
HOW IT WORKS
• Pick any clip from your phone or paste a YouTube link
• Shadow transcribes it on your device and splits it into phrases
• Loop a phrase, repeat after the speaker, and record yourself
• Play both voices side by side to hear the difference
• Drill phrases hands-free, so the audio keeps playing even with the screen off
WHY SHADOWING WORKS
Reading and grammar drills don't make you fluent. Speaking does. By copying native speakers out loud every day, you train the exact sounds, melody and pacing of natural English. Over time your pronunciation sharpens, your accent softens, and the words you only recognized start coming out of your mouth automatically.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SHADOW
• Improve your English pronunciation by repeating after native speakers
• Reduce your accent by matching real native sounds and intonation
• Build spoken fluency with short, focused daily practice
• Expand your active vocabulary from real speech and natural phrases
• Save your favorite phrases and drill them anywhere
• Compare your voice to the original with side-by-side intonation waves
• Practice with your own clips, YouTube, or built-in guided lessons
• Track your progress and keep a daily streak
MADE FOR
Intermediate and advanced English learners who can already read and understand English but want to speak more fluently, sound more natural, and finally talk like a native.
Everything runs on your device, so your recordings stay private on your phone.
Turn the English you hear into the English you speak. Start shadowing today.
What’s new
Version 1.7.1 · Updated October 6, 2026
Fixed a problem where the subscribe button could stop responding if the connection to Google Play was lost. Payment problems are now explained on screen instead of failing silently, and Restore purchases tells you what it found. Also in this update: dictation now types where your cursor is, so you can leave an answer blank and come back to it later. Today's plan stays within reach at the top of the chat, and answer feedback now shows you your own sentence next to the correction.
