Vocafy's built-in Audio Player transforms any vocabulary set into a hands-free, high-quality audio stream so you can learn while walking, commuting, doing household chores, or resting.

Customizing your playback experience

Click the Play button on any vocabulary set and tap the settings icon to customize:

  • Language Order & Focus: Choose to hear Target language only (pure immersion), Target first → then translation, or Translation first → then target language.
  • Asymmetric Repetitions: Set independent repeats (from 1x up to 7x). For example, hear your native language once, but repeat the target word 2 or 3 times.
  • Adjustable Pauses: Set a pause (0 to 9 seconds) between terms to give yourself time to repeat the pronunciation out loud or recall the meaning in your head.
  • Voice Speed: Adjust speech speed (0.5x, 0.8x for challenging phonemes, or 1.0x, 1.2x for natural rhythm).
  • Playback Order & Filters: Play in original order, alphabetical order, or random shuffle. Filter by CEFR difficulty or play Favorites only.
  • Sleep Timer: Set an automatic shutoff timer for 5, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes for relaxing bedtime listening.

Practical study recipes

Here are 3 popular playback setups used by learners:

1. The "Active Recall" Challenge

Settings: Translation first (1x) → 3-second pause → Target word (2x).

How it works: You hear the word in your native language, challenge yourself to speak the translation out loud during the 3-second silence, and then the target audio immediately confirms your answer.

2. The "Pure Immersion" Stream

Settings: Target language only → Term (2x) → Example sentence (1x) at 1.0x speed.

How it works: Trains your ears to process natural speech and rhythm without relying on your native language.

3. The "Bedtime Relaxation" Routine

Settings: Target word (1x) → Translation (1x) → 5-second gentle pauses → 30-minute Sleep Timer.

How it works: Unwinds your mind while reinforcing recent vocabulary gently before sleep.
