Introduction
Learn while you drive, walk, or wash dishes. Audio Flashcards turns your study material into spoken questions and answers, schedules them with spaced repetition, and plays them back so you can review with your ears and your voice instead of your eyes.
Who it is for
- Language learners building vocabulary, listening, and pronunciation.
- Students revising for exams and certifications.
- Professionals rehearsing terminology, scripts, or licensing material.
- Anyone who learns better by listening, or cannot keep looking at a screen.
How it works
Everything in the app is built on one loop:
- Make a card. A card is a short stack of audio clips — usually a question and an answer. Record them in your own voice, type them for a text-to-speech voice to read, or import them in bulk.
- Review it. A review session plays each question, gives you time to recall, then plays the answer. You grade how well you knew it — by tapping, swiping, or saying good.
- Let the scheduler decide when you hear it again. Cards you know drift further apart; cards you miss come back soon. Nothing nags you before a card is ready.
The rest — folders, flags, search, statistics, sharing — exists to keep that loop running smoothly as your library grows.
What makes it different
Most flashcard apps are visual first and demand your full attention. Audio Flashcards is built for the moments when you cannot give it:
- Sessions play hands-free. Autoplay moves through cards on a timer, voice commands grade and navigate, and headphone and lock-screen controls work with the phone in your pocket.
- Sessions are saved recipes. Each one remembers what to study, in what order, how many cards, and how it plays, so your daily review is one tap away.
- Listening counts. An optional passive scheduler spaces out cards you only heard, so background listening does not replay the same twenty cards forever.
- Your library is yours. Cards are ordinary files on your device or in your iCloud Drive. No account is needed for anything except Shared Cards.
