AI Shadowing & Scenario Chat

Features & Capabilities

Kage Japanese Shadowing combines shadowing practice, AI conversation, and an instant dictionary into one focused app. Paste any Japanese text you love — news articles, song lyrics, novels — and turn it into a real learning session.

KEY FEATURES

■ Shadowing Practice (Free + Pro) Paste your own Japanese text. Listen to the full passage in Apple's native voice, record yourself, and compare. Automatic furigana annotation processes locally on your device — no internet needed for kanji readings.

■ AI Pronunciation Scoring (Pro) Get phoneme-level feedback on your recordings: accent, long vowels, geminate consonants, nasal sounds, and more. Free users get 1 trial per month.

■ Azure Premium Voices (Pro) Four native-quality voices (Nanami, Keita and more), with switchable styles: newscast, natural, and casual. Free users continue to enjoy unlimited Apple native TTS.

■ AI Scenario Conversations (Free + Pro) Practice ordering at a café, job interviews, self-introductions, asking for directions, and more — 8 preset scenarios plus free input. The AI adjusts to your N5–N1 level, then gives you a full evaluation report at the end of each chat. Free users get 6 turns per session; Pro users get 12.

■ Dictionary Lookup (always free) Tap any unknown word during shadowing for instant definitions, parts of speech, JLPT level, and example sentences from Jisho.org's JMdict. Save words to your vocabulary with one tap.

■ Vocabulary & History Browse all your saved words and past shadowing/chat sessions, with optional cloud sync.
