Pagespeak: Read English Aloud

Shadow podcasts, lectures and audiobooks you already own. Clip by sentence, record yourself, and see your stress and rhythm against the original — all on your device.

Turn the audio and text you already have into a speaking workout.

Pagespeak is a shadowing app for self-directed English learners. Import a podcast, a lecture recording, an audiobook, or a subtitle file — then listen, clip, repeat, and record yourself sentence by sentence. The app scores your pronunciation and shows where your stress and rhythm differ from the original.

YOUR CONTENT, YOUR LEVEL • Import mp3, m4a, wav or aac audio • Import PDF, TXT, or paste any text — split by sentence or by paragraph • Import SRT subtitles to create one practice clip per sentence automatically • No fixed curriculum: the material you bring sets the difficulty

CLIP AND REPEAT • Mark clips with two taps while listening, or let subtitles do it for you • Link clips to script sentences so the text follows the audio • Save ranges and loop them: continuous, clip by clip (1–10 repeats), or range loop • Turn the phone sideways to see the full sentence of the clip you are playing

SPEAK AND GET FEEDBACK • Record yourself for any sentence or clip • Accuracy, fluency and stress scores with word-by-word comparison • Stress notation shows which syllables carry the beat (pre-PARE for the MEET-ing) • Long-press any word for its pronunciation (IPA) and the system dictionary

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no API key, and no servers of our own — your files and recordings stay in the app on your iPhone • Speech recognition is performed by Apple's Speech framework; audio may be sent to Apple's servers for recognition. We never receive or store audio • Explanations use Apple Intelligence on the device (iOS 26, supported devices)

NEW TO THE APP? Tap "Load Sample" on an empty library to try a short public-domain fable with its script and clips.

Pagespeak is for intermediate and advanced learners who want to practice with real material. It is not a beginner course.
