Turn any text into a bilingual lesson with native-quality audio, shadowing and phoneme-level pronunciation scoring. Learn a language by immersion on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Hey PH! 👋 Excited to launch Linva today.
We wanted a seamless way to turn any text into an immersive language lesson without jumping between dictionary and translation apps.
With Linva, you can:
• Turn any text into native-quality bilingual audio lessons.
• Read along with aligned text, translations, and IPA phonetics.
• Practice shadowing with real-time pitch comparison.
• Get phoneme-level pronunciation scores to fix subtle accent mistakes.
Check it out on iOS/macOS and let us know what you think! We’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions. 🚀

The phoneme-level scoring actually caught me off guard with how specific it is. I tried it on a tricky French phrase and it told me exactly which sound I was flattening, which is way more useful than just a thumbs up or down.
I believe pronunciation feedback should answer “what should I fix next?”, not just “was it correct?”.
I’m really happy the phoneme-level feedback was able to point out the exact sound. That’s the kind of guidance I always wished language apps provided.
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Phoneme-level scoring is such a smart move, most apps stop at "did it sound close enough" and call it a day. Looks beautifully made on Mac too.

@idemerhzlkndlThanks so much! That was exactly the gap I wanted Linva to address.
A lot of pronunciation tools stop at “close enough,” but learners often have no idea which sound is causing the problem. The phoneme-level feedback is meant to make practice more actionable and less frustrating.
I’m also really happy to hear the Mac experience feels polished — I wanted it to feel like a first-class desktop app, not just a scaled-up mobile version.
Thanks again for trying Linva!

@sevcanuzunzv3uThank you! That means a lot.
