Hey Product Hunt, I built Spokt because every language app I tried wanted me to drill flashcards, and I never once felt like I was understanding anything. Linguist Stephen Krashen's argument is the opposite: you acquire a language by consuming hours of real audio and text you actually want to consume — stories, podcasts, articles — not by drilling sentences a machine made up. So I built around that. Flip the Reader/Learner switch and the same app becomes a comprehensible-input platform. A placement test sets your level. A Discover feed serves leveled podcasts (streaming from their own RSS feeds), LibriVox audiobooks, and courses, tagged A1–C2. Word-synced karaoke transcripts let you follow along; tap any word to translate. A quiet familiarity engine keeps score of the words you know, and a Today ring shows your listening hours stacking up. It's built top-to-bottom on Apple's on-device stack — Speech, Natural Language, Translation — and localized in 9 languages including full right-to-left Arabic. Learner Mode is free. I'm a solo dev and this is the release I most wanted to exist. Tear it apart — honest feedback is exactly what I'm here for. — Masaab
