Fluency Tool: Shadow EN & JP

Shadow Native Audio. Speak With Confidence (in Japanese or English).

Fluency Tool is a structured speaking and study system built around Echo Fluency: a hands-free shadowing engine that plays a native sentence, opens the microphone automatically, evaluates your pronunciation using speech analysis, and re-queues sentences you get wrong until you get them right. Choose your language, Japanese (JLPT N5–N1) or English (CEFR A1–B2), and stop just listening to it. Start producing it.

Four Tools. One Fluency Loop.

Most language apps isolate one skill and leave you to figure out the rest. Fluency Tool builds four skills in parallel:
• Echo Fluency Shadowing Engine: listen, repeat, get graded, advance. Hands-free.
• SM-2 Flashcard System (Anki-compatible spaced repetition for your language's vocabulary).
• Grammar Guide: every pattern organized by JLPT level (N5–N1) or CEFR level (A1–B2), with native audio and SRS tracking.
• Vocabulary Games. Fever Pitch, Hangman, Matching, and Crossword, all built from your own decks.

How Echo Fluency Works

A sentence matched to your level appears (with furigana for Japanese). Native audio plays. The microphone opens automatically. Just repeat what you heard. Your voice plays back immediately so you hear the gap between your output and the native model. Speech-to-text grades your attempt: correct moves you to the next sentence, incorrect re-queues it. Sentences you struggle with return more often. Sentences you master extend their review interval by 4x. The app tracks your personal best for consecutive correct answers per session.

Japanese content covers JLPT N5 through N1 across 25 sub-levels, with a pitch accent visualizer for pronunciation correction. English content covers CEFR A1 through B2. Three recording modes: Echo Fluency (auto), Timed, or Hold to Record.

SM-2 Flashcards (Anki-Compatible)

Rate cards Again, Hard, Medium, or Easy. The SM-2 algorithm calculates exactly when you need to see each word again. Long-press any kanji for a full on'yomi, kun'yomi, and meaning breakdown from KanjiAPI. Preset decks for your level load on first launch. Create custom decks with word, reading, definition, and example. Firebase cloud sync keeps your decks safe across devices; no account needed.

Grammar Guide
