A suggestion, never a verdict

A quieter way to listen to language

Scan.
Revise.
Hear.

Type or paste English verse to see a suggested syllable-stress map. Change every mark, compare iambic, trochaic, anapestic, and dactylic patterns, then play the edited rhythm as a beat. Keep foot boundaries and substitutions, export annotated PDF or image pages, keep drafts private, and practice with 40 original lessons that move from meter foundations into interpretive craft.

Meter is a lens, not a verdict.

Scansion depends on pronunciation, dialect, syntax, emphasis, elision, and performance. Pocket Prosody begins with bundled American-English pronunciation data and transparent local heuristics. It marks estimated words for review and never claims that one reading is objectively correct.

Private working pages.

Drafts, manual stress edits, and challenge history are stored in the app container. Core features need no account or internet connection, and there is no advertising, analytics, tracking, subscription, or in-app purchase. Annotated PDF, long-image, text, and backup exports are created on the device. Sharing happens only when you choose Apple’s system share interface.
