In their own words
E-clair
E-clair turns podcasts, recordings and linked audio into language-learning sessions on Android and iOS. Learners can subscribe to podcasts, upload audio or paste a web audio link, then follow a transcript synchronized to playback word by word. They can replay a chosen word or phrase, tap a word or hold a phrase to see a DeepL-powered translation, and save vocabulary with its position in the audio. Saved words and phrases become flashcards for FSRS spaced-repetition review. E-clair transcribes more than 20 languages; its guide lists 16 translation target languages. Uploads support MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC and AIFF, but not video files. Offline access is listed. The free plan costs nothing and limits collections and the amount and size of users’ own audio transcriptions; podcast transcription is handled separately. The maker describes the app as intended for learners past the beginner stage studying podcasts or recordings they already have.
