You already do the repetition.
You've played your favorite song a hundred times, singing along to words you only half know. Save the words that catch you, and each one becomes a flashcard with the line you found it in. Swipe right when you know it, or left to keep practicing. The next time the song comes on, you'll hear the difference.

Learn a language. Expand your musical world.
Every language opens the door to music you might never have found on your own. Explore what other people are learning and listening to, follow people whose taste you trust, and find your next favorite song along the way.
Keep listening where you already listen.
i·CANTO works alongside the music apps you already use. Discover a song, understand its lyrics, and learn from it here — then open it in Spotify or Apple Music and keep listening there. The next time it comes on, you'll know what it's saying.

Technology should make your world bigger, not smaller.
Musicians already made these songs, and whole cultures stand behind them. We use AI for the distance in between: translating a line, explaining an expression, sounding out a word, helping you remember it. AI isn't the culture. It's a bridge to it.
The team behind i·CANTO
We read every reply ourselves. i·CANTO is built in the open, and that shapes what's next.
You know the tune. Now learn the words.
