Announcing Emurse: The Japanese Speech Feedback App!
Added 2024-12-16 13:18:46 +0000 UTCGood evening Patrons!
I am thrilled to finally announce Emurse, a Japanese pitch-accent and pronunciation feedback app!
Main Emurse features:
Easily compare your pitch accent, pronunciation, and rhythm to a native's using real-time recordings and spectrographs
Anki-style spaced repetition for not just pitch accent, but also meaning and reading of over 1,000 vocab words
Separate vocab decks for nouns, verbs, counters, adjectives, phrases, and more
A stand-alone pitch and waveform recorder for quickly testing the pitch for any word or phrase
Tools for analyzing the pitch and waveform of user-uploaded pre-recorded files
Easy to use interface and course materials organized around Japanese Phonetics on Patreon
These are just some of the features in Emurse—please see the above video for a more detailed breakdown of the app, or click here to try the introduction lesson for free.

Hi, Casper. JP here. I'd like to better understand what you're experiencing, but it might take some back and forth. In the interest of smoother communication, would you be willing to move this conversation to DMs here on Patreon or over to the Emurse Discord? Regards, — JP

Over the last few months we needed to shift gears to get Lofi Japanese finalized and launched, but I think the plan would be to look into lifetime subscriptions a little later this year.

2025-08-06 03:53:22 +0000 UTCI'm very confused why the next lesson button skips from, for example, lesson 8 to lesson 9 after one round of questions. After studying lesson 8 once in the app, you will only have studied a handful of the terms on the term list for lesson 8. This leads to me having to study lesson 8 multiple times, but this interferes with the srs as it asks me to pronounce terms already on my study list. Is this intentional? If so, why?

Is there any news of lifetime subscription plans? If so, do you know when this might be coming out, or what kind of price range it might be? If there are no longer plans for this, I absolutely understand.
