A card is a short stack of audio. Usually that is a question and an answer, but it can be one side or several.
Record
Record each side, then trim it or insert and replace parts of it. Transcribe your recordings and their words show up on the card and in search.
Type
Type a side and choose a voice: the voices on your device, Kokoro voices that run on your device, or Amazon Polly and OpenAI with your own account.

You grade it. The app works out when you would forget it.
Each grade tells FSRS, the scheduler, how well you know a card. Cards you know drift further apart and cards you miss come back soon. Nothing nags you before a card is ready.
- AgainYou did not remember it.10m
- HardYou remembered, but it was a struggle.3d
- GoodYou remembered normally.9d
- EasyIt came back with no effort at all.24d
The time beside each grade is when the card comes back if you choose it. Set how much you want to retain, study ahead in a practice session without touching your schedule, and let a listening session space out cards you only heard.
Your library stays yours.
Cards are ordinary files on your device or in iCloud Drive. You do not need an account for any of it.
Folders with their own settings
Give a folder a colour and the languages it expects to hear. Review one folder on its own, or leave it out of reviews without deleting anything.
Search hears your recordings
Find a card by its name, by the text a voice reads, or by the words inside your own recordings once they are transcribed.
iCloud sync and backups
Your iPhone, iPad and Mac stay in sync through iCloud. On Android the library stays on your device, and backups move it anywhere.

Questions
Everything else is in the Help.
How do audio flashcards work?
Each card is a short stack of audio, usually a question and an answer. A review session plays the question, gives you time to recall, then plays the answer. You grade how well you knew it, and spaced repetition schedules when you hear it next.
Can I review without looking at my phone?
Yes. Turn on autoplay in a review session and set how long it waits before the answer. Voice commands let you grade and move between cards out loud, and headphone, car and Lock Screen controls work with the phone in your pocket.
Can I use it offline?
You can review audio already downloaded to your device offline. Recording and on-device voices work offline too. Downloading shared collections, syncing, and generating speech with cloud providers need an internet connection.
Do I need an account?
No. You can make and review your own cards without one, and anyone can browse public Shared Cards. An account is only needed to publish collections and open private invitations.
Does my library sync between Apple and Android?
iCloud keeps your iPhone, iPad and Mac in sync. Android keeps your library on the device. Use backups and shared files to move cards between Apple and Android.
Is Audio Flashcards free?
Yes, with ads. A subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase removes them. If you connect a cloud voice provider, you use and pay for your own account with that provider.
