Learn what you want.

See Phonetica in action
Make a card, study on your phone, read a story, and check your progress, in about a minute.
Study material made from what you care about
Make the cards, hear them, read stories built from them, and watch your vocabulary grow. All in one place.
Make flashcards in seconds
Other apps make you build cards by hand or study someone else's deck. Start from a ready-made deck, or tell Phonetica what you want to learn and it writes the card.
- Type a phrase in your native language and get the translation back.
- Choose neutral, formal, or informal wording.
- Hear it before you add it, then make Recognition cards, Recall cards, or both.
You can also paste a YouTube link to learn from a video, or type a card by hand.
Voices that sound like people
Every card and story comes with realistic audio built in. Pick a voice or let Phonetica rotate them, and slow playback down to 0.5x while you get used to the sounds.
Reading practice that fits your level
Finding reading material at the right level is slow. Phonetica writes it for you, using the vocabulary you are learning.
- Choose difficulty, length, style, and voice.
- Listen along while each line highlights.
- Tap any word to see its meaning.
- Save a word or a whole line as a flashcard in the deck you choose.
Pinyin and rōmaji above every word
Cards and stories in Mandarin show pinyin, and Japanese shows rōmaji, so you can read along and say what you read before you know the characters.
See what you have actually learned
Every word you study is tracked, so you can see how many words you know, how accurate you are, and which days you showed up.
- Words learned, day streak, cards reviewed, and accuracy.
- A chart of vocabulary growth over 4 weeks, 9 weeks, or all time.
- A 16-week activity map of every day you studied.
- Each word marked Known, Learning, or New.

Make Phonetica part of a routine
It asks for more effort than a casual app. Learners who also speak, listen, and practice with other people get the most from it.
A tool, not the whole plan
Phonetica makes your study material and tracks it. It does not replace talking to people.
Built for committed learners
It is made for people who study regularly, not for a few minutes of casual play each week.
Pair it with real use
Combine your cards and stories with speaking practice, listening to native content, and real conversations.
Your first flashcard is a minute away.
Try everything free for 7 days. No credit card required.
