3.11.0
2023-09-05
We've simplified the display by removing some icons for better ease of use. Additionally, we've made updates to improve stability.
3.10.2
2023-08-21
We have fixed the display issue when accessing the Empallet article and the web pages for the 'how to use Empatheme' guide.
3.10.1
2023-08-21
We have made further improvements to enhance the app's smooth and reliable performance.
3.10.0
2023-07-15
With this new update, we'll help you enhance your English proficiency by increasing your processing speed and pronunciation accuracy.
The new feature measures both the input and output speeds when you practice replicating native samples through the Practice Act.
We encourage you to mirror the native speaker you're listening to, rapidly connecting letters, sounds, and images in your brain. This processing time is your input speed, and the time it takes to vocalize constitutes your output speed.
The update also analyzes your pronunciation and represents it as an accuracy index.
We hope you will enjoy this immersive practice and embrace the sense of progress through the reflections the new index offers.
3.9.0
2023-06-24
We newly incorporated a feature to compare your Seeds (vocalized speeches) with the native samples. Now you can review your speech length visually with the actual sound as many times as you want instantly.
It lets you see, hear, and directly compare your practice and notice the difference from the reference, phrase by phrase.
The aim is to facilitate improvement by focusing on the details you may have been unaware of and provide fun to continue practicing more seamlessly.
3.8.1
2023-06-13
We fixed a bug in displaying characters during the Act practice by tapping the "+" button.
3.8.0
2023-05-06
We made the following updates for you to practice more smoothly.
(1) The Context bar is now displayed in the Deed list so you can instantly reflect on your practice's state.
The display location of these green bar graphs showing "clear," "calm," "continuous," and "constant" moved from the previous location at the end of the Seed list.
(2) The "+" button is now placed below the Seed list so that you can immediately proceed to the practice Act after the practice "Vocalize."
The Context index comprising four green bars of "clear," "calm," "continuous," and "constant" is the index of your practice state measuring your action flow and the surrounding.
It helps you reflect on the subconscious process you are unaware of and fosters a peaceful, focused environment for more effective practice.
◉Clear: the quietness of the surroundings
"Clear" refers to having a clear and uncluttered space free from distractions or interruptions, such as surrounding noise. Waiting quietly for the first yellow circle to appear will increase the index.
◉Calm: the state of calmness when drawing a circle
"Calm" refers to the subconscious state when drawing a circle. The index will grow by slowly drawing the circle with the rhythm of your breathing.
◉Continuous: the duration of the practice
"Continuous" refers to the length of the practice. The index reaches 100 when a certain amount of the state transition beads (i.e., "obtsfcri") is counted (roughly 15 beads). (Not shown in the graph below).
◉Constant: the constancy of the practice
"Constant" refers to the continuous iteration daily. The index will reach 100 by practicing daily for a month or so.
Missing two days in a row decreases the index moderately, and skipping more will accelerate the drop.
3.7.0
2023-04-19
We incorporated a new text display feature that enhances your inner speech development process, effectively internalizing your Seeds (i.e., vocalized line of words to practice).
With this new feature,
(1) During the Act session, you can practice vocalizing Seeds without relying on the cards.
(2) You can then practice inner speech by using instant text assistance that shows up momentarily and disappears at the timing of your vocalization.
The text for each Seed will be displayed in the order of native samples you have chosen from the previous repeating practice.
When practicing vocalizing seeds, at a glance, try to visualize the sound image in your head, rehearse it, then output it as your speech.
This feature facilitates your inner speech practice by not allowing you to read through the text but trying to reproduce the sound in the brain so that you can reflect on your own progress later.
Now your entire practice will become more seamless from calming your mind, drawing a circle, vocalizing your inner speech, and reflecting on it - more efficiently and effectively!
3.6.1
2023-03-21
We improved sound quality when recording voice.
3.6.0
2023-03-04
We have made the following improvements.
(1) A more detailed visual representation of the Seed according to the length of the speech. Now it is easier to compare the differences between your Seeds and the native samples and those among your Seeds.
(2) The Practice screen (black background) where you vocalize your Seeds indicates it is listening to the sound.
(3) The display of Seed Sharing is to be written in text on the page showing the headline (marked R for Reflect) for Practice Deed and the Sharing (marked S for Share).
Also, we reorganized and maintained the code so the application could be used more stably.
3.5.0
2022-11-18

We update the app regularly so we can make it better for you. This version includes minor bug fixes.
3.3.1
2022-06-15
We have improved the display in the practice sharing.
When receiving Deeds (proof of practice) from other practitioners, the seed letters do not shift when switching between "voice" and "text," so it doesn't create any confusion.
Also, this improvement enables you to view all of the Deeds of the practice examples that came in previously in the Connect Tab. You can now trace back all and enjoy them whenever you want.
3.2.1
2022-05-01
We added new features on the Self tab.
Now you can retrace your Deed from the first day.
Also, you can review how many Deeds and Seeds you have produced.
(A Deed is a unit of practice session you perform, represented by a sequence of Empathemes. A Seed is a unit of your vocalized expression.)
We have renewed the Guide tab, too.
Please tap the icon when you want to join the practice courses or look for troubleshooting information.
We have improved the display and instructions so that you can continue to practice more smoothly.

3.1.0
2022-02-20
This update adds a notification feature for Deed-sharing among the practitioners.
(A Deed is a unit of practice session you perform, represented by a sequence of Empathemes)
A blue dot icon appears when the Deeds are shared with your friends or tutor when you open the app. The blue dot remains until you open the shared Deeds.
Now that you can share your practice with others, it can help encourage your routine acts and motivate the group of people you interact with.
You are not alone anymore. It creates fun for your practice alongside the others who share their practice.
We have improved start-up and voice replay so that your practice will be even more efficient.
3.0.0
2022-01-13
This update adds a new sharing feature, followed by changes to the display screen to facilitate the sharing.
(1) Share Your Deed
A Deed is a unit of practice session you perform, represented by a sequence of Empathemes.
(A Session is created by drawing a circle to begin and another to end).
A Deed is evidence of your practice that you accumulate.
Now you can share your Deed with others in your connection, such as a friend or tutor.
You can choose the Seeds you want to share with the person you want.
Sharing the practicing experience with feedback will make learning more engaging, enriching, and enduring.
For example, a tutor can watch over and support you with constructive feedback and personalized advice.
Feeling connected with a supportive person who cares about your practice is very powerful.
(2) View Your Deed
A Deed is displayed in layers such that the deeper you go, the more details of your practice show up.
Layer 1: Deed display
Layer 2: What's inside the Deed (viewing seeds and context, listening)
Layer 3: What's inside the Seed (note for listening, memo)
We have made switching between the screens more intuitive with visual icons.
iOS 12.4 or newer are supported.

We will continue to make further improvements.
