Glisten · Language Podcasts

Glisten brings you hands-free language learning on visionOS. Lay back, listen, and read along with your favorite foreign podcasts. Glisten takes care of everything!

And if you are out and about, you can continue where you left off using Glisten for iOS. Whether riding the bus, driving, or walking the dog, Glisten is the only hands-free language learning app you'll need.

Glisten stands for 'Good Listen'. It's the podcast app for language learners, combining great free content with repetitive, hands-free listening workouts.

Immersing yourself in a foreign language with Glisten can take your listening comprehension to the next level. You can listen to free podcasts on any topic you please, making it much more fun than textbook exercises or word games.

So how does it work? Glisten brings difficult conversations into focus by extracting the text, and then repeating each sentence. Instead of losing the thread, the listening workout gives you time to digest phrases, and keeps you interested.

There is also no need to go searching for transcripts on the internet — Glisten automatically extracts the text for any spoken audio.
