Radio SloMo

Radio SloMo is a free tool for language learners. Listen to live news and talk radio from around the world, and slow it down until you can follow it, without the robotic voice.

LISTEN SLOWER, NOT LESS
• Play any station from 0.5× to 1.25×. The voice stays natural.
• Live radio keeps playing at your pace: Radio SloMo records it on your iPhone as you listen, so slowing down never makes you miss anything.
• Missed a sentence? Replay 5 or 15 seconds, or loop it. Catch up to live whenever you like.

TALK AND NEWS RADIO IN 79 LANGUAGES
• See the most popular news, talk and culture stations for the language you're learning, updated daily.
• From French, Spanish and German to Tamil, Swahili and Icelandic: any language with at least 10 stations in the directory.
• Search more than 40,000 stations, or add your own stream.
• Each station remembers your speed.

SHOWS MADE FOR LEARNERS
• Slow news and podcasts for learners, such as news in simple French or slowly spoken German. Download episodes and pick up where you left off.

LIVE CAPTIONS (iOS 26)
• See the words as you hear them, created on your iPhone by Apple's speech recognition.
• Turn on translation to see each sentence in your own language, right under the original.
• Tap any word to translate it, look it up in the dictionary, or save it.
• Export your saved words as a spreadsheet for your flashcard app.
• Captions are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your words and settings stay on your iPhone.
