When you record yourself speaking, Èdè transcribes your speech and analyzes your pitch patterns. It compares your tonal contour against a native reference to score both word accuracy and tonal accuracy. You'll see which syllables had the right tone and which ones need work.

Yoruba is a tonal language with three main tones: high, mid, and low. The same syllables pronounced with different tones can mean completely different words. Èdè specifically measures whether your pitch rises and falls in the right places.

Every word you learn enters a review system. Words you get right appear less frequently. Words you struggle with come back more often. Over time, this moves vocabulary into your long-term memory.

Your speaking and conversation limits reset at midnight each day. If you want more practice, you can upgrade to Èdè Premium for 10x the daily limits.

Èdè is currently available on iOS (iPhone and iPad).

Some features work offline, like browsing vocabulary you've already loaded. Speaking evaluation, AI conversations, and new lesson content require an internet connection.

Make sure you've granted Èdè microphone permission in your iPhone Settings. Go to Settings > Èdè > Microphone and make sure it's enabled.
