SHADOWING × AI FEEDBACK
Shadow the English
you need,
ten minutes a day.
You can follow a TOEIC recording, yet real-world English still slips past you. Fluent is a shadowing app with AI feedback that turns the English you actually need into your practice material. AI classes and a comprehensive test show how well you speak and where you stand.

THE GAP“I've studied English.”
“I've studied English.”
Yet real conversations slip past you.
It isn't that your English is zero. There is a gap between the English you learned and the English people actually use.
TOEIC makes sense.
Meetings don't.You understand the textbook audio, but when native speakers talk fast the sounds run together and you suddenly fall behind.
You can't target
the accents you find hard.Indian or Singaporean English may be your weak spot, yet most materials stick to standard English. What you practise and what you need drift apart.
You don't know what to do,
or how much.The more materials and apps there are, the more you hesitate — and when it doesn't stick, you blame your own willpower.
WHAT IS FLUENT?
Fluent in one minute
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, ten minutes a day.
All you need to sign up is an email address. Fifteen minutes on day one is enough to prepare your first material and read the AI report.
- STEP 01About 1 min
Prepare a material
Pick a preset in one of many accents, or load a region of up to 5 minutes from your own audio (mp3 / m4a / wav). AI turns it into a script with word-level timing (creating materials from audio is on the web version).
- STEP 0210 min
Shadow and record
The current word is highlighted, so you never lose your place. Adjust the speed from 0.5× to 1.5× and loop playback. Once it feels easy, hide the script and rely on your ears.
- STEP 03About 1 min
Improve your next take with the AI report
Your take is matched against the model and colour-coded word by word for pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. The coach adds a short comment on each of the three, with something to try in your next take.

SCRIPTPress play: the current word is highlighted
What's been most amazing for me to see, the majority of remixes we've seen on Glitch have been from K-pop fans. So we have a huge community of, of mostly teenage girls who love K-pop, you know, Korean pop music, which is global pop music now. And so that's pretty remarkable that we have, on an average afternoon, a handful of new apps made by young women will pop up about the groups they like, and then people play it, they share their scores

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for shadowing beginners?
Yes. Start with a beginner-level preset or a clean recording, then raise the level and the accent difficulty as it gets easier. Playback can be slowed down to 0.5×.
Which audio files can I turn into materials?
mp3, m4a and wav files (up to 30 minutes and 80 MB). One material covers a region of up to 5 minutes. Creating materials from audio is done on the web version.
What is the AI class?
A private lesson with an AI teacher in English on a focus you choose — grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, writing or speaking (5 minutes; Pro Plus and Premium can also choose 10). You can also practise with TOEIC- and TOEFL-style questions. Afterwards the report shows more natural ways to say things and the expressions you used. It runs on the web version and needs a microphone.
What does the comprehensive test tell me?
You choose one of three courses: Quick (grammar, reading, listening — about 20 minutes), Standard (plus writing — about 30 minutes) or Full (plus speaking — about 40 minutes). You get a level for each skill on a nine-step scale from A1 to C2, shown on a chart, with a comparison with your last attempt and suggested practice; your next test is matched to that level. It is a study guide, not an official level or score such as CEFR or TOEIC. The test is taken on the web version on a PC only.
What does the AI coach do?
It is part of the Premium plan. It proposes a study plan from your goal and the time you have, and adjusts time and materials in a weekly review. Besides everyday chat, you get 40 minutes of voice coaching per renewal period. During the free trial you can try the kickoff (your first session, 20 min: goal, study plan and materials decided together), the chat and 15 minutes of voice coaching.
How do the plans differ?
Materials, AI analysis, presets, podcast materials, vocabulary and history are the same on every plan. The plans differ in how many AI classes you get and how long they are, how often you can take the comprehensive test and the conversation test, and whether the AI coach is included. You can switch plans at any time; the difference is prorated.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes, it is on the App Store. It signs in with the same account as the web version and carries over the materials you created on the web. You can shadow, record, get AI analysis and use the vocabulary book, all in sync (creating materials from audio and the comprehensive test are web-only). The web app also works in your phone's browser.
Can other people hear my recordings?
No. Your audio and recordings are never shown to other users. They are sent to the AI providers we use as processors for transcription and analysis (see the privacy policy for details). You can delete materials and recordings at any time. Privacy Policy
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Cancel whenever you like; you will not be charged after the current period ends. The free trial costs nothing unless you subscribe. If you subscribe during the trial, billing starts when the trial ends (with less than 48 hours of trial left, you are charged when you subscribe).
