床前明月光，
疑是地上霜。
举头望明月，
低头思故乡。
iPhone & iPad · Coming to the App Store
Memorising a poem should not mean reading it over and over.
Start with the full text, then recite it four times. Each pass leaves fewer characters on screen. FadeVerse follows from the part you are meant to say next and gives you a prompt only when you get stuck.

Not blank all at once. A little less help each time.
Read the whole poem first. As you repeat it, FadeVerse leaves fewer characters on screen until you can recite it on your own.

A simpler way to practise
Learn it today. Keep it in memory.
A short poem takes only a few focused minutes. Longer classical texts are divided into manageable sections instead of asking you to tackle everything at once.
Today’s poem
Read it through, then start reciting without tapping through each character.
School classics
Use pinyin, simplified or traditional characters, and Apple system narration when they help.
Review when due
Add works to a learning plan and return when it is time to reinforce them.
How practice feels
Plenty of help first, then gradually let go.
Across four passes, fewer characters remain visible. Progress still starts at the part you are meant to recite next, so a later sentence cannot skip an earlier gap.
Read it through
See the complete text, turn on pinyin if needed, or listen to Apple system narration.
Start reciting
Correctly recited text softens. If you pause for three seconds, the current character appears as a prompt.
Come back later
Finish the practice, keep track of what needs work, and follow the next review in your learning plan.

A few practical questions.
Is speech recognition fully on-device?+
The app uses Apple Speech services. Depending on system availability and settings, processing may happen on the device or through Apple services.
Is system narration guaranteed to pronounce everything correctly?+
No. Pinyin and matching data for built-in texts use reviewed pronunciations, but Apple’s system voice may still misread polyphonic characters.
What can I use for free?+
The free version supports one learner and up to five active works in a learning plan. Pro is a one-time purchase.
Do I need an account?+
No. Profiles, plans, and learning history are stored locally on the device.
A little every day, until it stays with you.
FadeVerse is being prepared for release on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
