driftspeak: language audio

subtitles for your ears.

hear a sentence in the language. hear it in english. then hear the original again, slower.

driftspeak is bilingual audio built from music, films and the words you want to keep. made for half-attention: the train, the walk, the bath, the kitchen, the night.

the shelf moves across korean, japanese, spanish, mandarin, cantonese, french, italian, brazilian portuguese and english.

music · real records rebuilt as bilingual chapters, track by track

films · real films rebuilt the same way, scene by scene

ladders · one path through a language, from first words to deeper expression

maps · fields of related words you can drift through like places

hold a phrase while it plays to keep it. or open keep and record a sentence of your own, in your own voice. your recording stays on your phone and the words are transcribed on-device.

kept sentences, songs, records and shared text can gather in a basket. send it, and if we take it on, we author a private volume from your words. it is yours alone and never goes on the public shelf.

no streaks. no scores. no progress bars. phrases you've drifted through enough simply settle as recognized.

also:

- every shelf volume starts free
- words i kept is a whole free volume
- no account or sign-up
- full offline listening
- pronunciation under every phrase
- slow repeats, on or off
- sleep timer that ends after a completed phrase
- lock screen, dynamic island and nightstand modes
- siri: "continue my drift" and "play my korean ladder"
- request a record or film for the shelf

for everyone who quit the streak and still cares.
