Repeat Player cut&loop
Audio Player for Learners
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Improve listening and shadowing. Split audio into phrases automatically; cue or repeat with one tap. Add pauses, change speed, transcribe, and check pronunciation.
cut&loop is an audio player that lets you cue and repeat language-learning audio, podcasts, lecture and meeting recordings, and generated audio at the phrase level.
With automatic phrase splitting based on silence detection, AB repeat, pause insertion, variable speed playback, and transcription, it makes re-listening and focused practice much easier.
From when you select your first audio, you can try ad-free and background playback with no subscription for a limited time. After 3 days, removing ads and using background playback requires an in-app purchase. No account is required.
