What is it?
EchoFlow is a browser-based tool for English listening and shadow-reading practice. You import your own audio (mp3) and synced subtitles (lrc) by folder, multi-file selection, or zip archive. Clicking any sentence starts playback from that point, the current sentence is highlighted as audio plays, and playback can continue automatically through the lesson.
The interface supports EN, EN+CN, and CN display modes, plus playback speed control, a continuous or sentence-only play mode, loop modes, and resume from the last position. Keyboard shortcuts cover play/pause, navigation, and volume. Lessons can be favorited, progress is tracked, and sentences can be saved to a list for reading aloud.
Imported files are stored only in the user's own browser via IndexedDB and are not uploaded to a server. The project is a pure static site with no dependencies, so it can be opened through a local HTTP server, Node's serve, or a Docker image.
