Why Shadow Edge
Built for the part of fluency that flashcards can't reach.
Structured segments
Smart sentence splits so you practice in the chunks your mouth can actually hold.
Pronunciation scoring that coaches
Every take scored out of 100 on accuracy, completeness, fluency, and prosody — down to each word and each sound, with a tip on what to fix next.
Practice anywhere
Web, iPhone, iPad, and Android — with Mac and Windows apps coming soon. Your library and progress sync across all of them.
Pronunciation scoring
Know exactly what to fix — down to the sound.
Submit a take and get an instant score out of 100, measured against the original speaker. Not a vague "sounds good" — a precise picture of what landed, what drifted, and how to fix it.
Accuracy
How closely each sound matched the speaker.
Completeness
How much of the line you actually said.
Fluency
Smooth, natural pacing without awkward pauses or rushing.
Prosody
Rhythm, stress, and intonation — the melody of the sentence.
- Every word, color-coded Each word gets its own score in green, amber, or red, so you see at a glance where your next take should focus.
- Sound-by-sound breakdown Tap a word to see every sound in it scored, plus a targeted drill for the one that needs the most work.
- Hear the difference Play the original and your recording back to back, then try again and watch your score climb.
The sound-by-sound breakdown is included on paid plans. Scoring depth varies by language — some are scored on fluency and prosody only. See every language and what it supports →
