Ignite - English Drill - Turn any tech doc into a speaking drill, scored by AI

Most engineers can read English docs — but freeze when asked to explain something in English. Ignite fixes that. Share any technical article from Safari, and Claude AI generates 5 types of questions (concept explanation, comparison, use cases, examples, trade-offs). Answer out loud in English, and AI scores you on semantic accuracy — not just keywords. NotebookLM for input. Ignite for output. Built with SwiftUI + Claude API + SFSpeechRecognizer. Free to start.
