You understand more than you can say. And the textbook dialogues? Nothing like how people actually talk.

Shadowfy fixes exactly that. It turns any text you love, news, stories, song lyrics, a page from a novel, into speaking practice. A natural, lifelike voice reads it aloud, and you repeat right after it, sentence by sentence, until the words come out on their own.

That's shadowing: the listen-and-repeat technique interpreters have used for decades to sound fluent and natural. Shadowfy makes it effortless.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Paste any text in the language you're learning
2. Listen to a natural voice read it, sentence by sentence
3. Follow the three-layer subtitles and repeat out loud
4. Tap any word for an instant explanation
5. Record yourself and compare with the original
