Parroto App – Learn English with Dictation, Shadowing, Spaced-Repetition

Parroto is an interactive English learning platform designed to help learners improve listening, Speaking, and Vocabulary retention through real-time practice, instant feedback, and contextual learning.

At its core, Parroto digitizes three proven, teacher-recommended learning methods into a seamless interactive experience:

Dictation: Learners listen and type what they hear. Each attempt is scored instantly, with errors highlighted and progress tracked over time, modernizing the traditional pen-and-paper method

Shadowing: Learners listen and repeat sentences, focusing on pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation. Parroto’s AI analyzes speech in real time and provides immediate scoring and detailed feedback, allowing learners to correct mistakes instantly instead of practicing blindly.

Spaced Repetition (Vocabulary): Vocabulary encountered during lessons is reinforced through a spaced-repetition system, automatically scheduled based on individual performance to maximize long-term retention.

Parroto places strong emphasis on context-driven learning:

Learners can tap any word within a listening transcript for instant dictionary lookup, including pronunciation, meaning, and real usage examples.

Vocabulary is always learned within its original listening context, not through isolated word lists, and is saved into a personal vocabulary bank for review.

To support active learning, Parroto enables structured in-lesson note-taking:

Users can take notes on vocabulary, grammar points, and sentence structures while learning.

Each note is linked to the specific lesson and audio context, helping learners revisit how language is actually used in real communication.

Notes are organized into a searchable personal knowledge base.

Parroto also focuses heavily on content quality and coverage:

Lessons span diverse real-world topics, including daily english conversations, Short movie clips, Fairy tales, TED talk, Science and Facts

Content is carefully structured across all proficiency levels from A1 to C2, allowing learners to start at the right level and progress continuously as their skills improve.

Academic and test-preparation content is included, covering IELTS, TOEIC, and TOEFL.

To maintain motivation, Parroto offers progress tracking, personalized reminders, and gamified rewards, encouraging consistent practice.

We’re proud that Parroto isn’t just another flashcard or vocabulary app. It’s a practice-first platform built on three proven methods, Dictation, Shadowing, Spaced-repetition, combined with AI feedback, curated learning materials, and progress tracking that keeps learners motivated. Learners don’t just “study English,” they finally use it: listening more deeply, speaking more confidently, and building momentum as they climb the leaderboard.
