Questions, answered
What is shadowing?
Shadowing means listening to a native speaker and repeating right after them, copying the rhythm and sound. Echo breaks a video into short phrases so it is easy to do.
Which content can I practise with?
Choose a suggested video, paste a YouTube link, or import a file. You also get a new sentence every day.
How is my speaking scored?
Echo scores each word you say and shows the result word by word. The goal is 80. It checks words only: it does not score sounds, stress or rhythm.
Is my voice recording private?
Scoring runs on your device, so your audio stays with you.
Is Echo free?
Echo is free to start. Echo Pro unlocks unlimited imports and more.
Which devices does it work on?
Echo works on iPhone and iPad. On iPad it uses a split-view layout so you can practise beside your history.
