Understudy — Shadowing, Made a Habit
A language-practice feed built from short scenes: listen to a line, say it back, and compare your take with the original.
Field notes
The proposed workflow breaks scenes into individual lines, adds pronunciation markings, records the learner over the source, and compares the two takes with waveforms and a closeness score. The page lists 148 scenes across situations including job interviews, meetings, drama, standup, and travel. It also specifies an 80% passage threshold and practice speeds from 0.5× to 1.25×. The homepage says the apps will ship later this year, so the described product is not yet available to test.
