Frequently Asked Questions
ReciteWell uses Whisper, an on-device speech recognition model, to transcribe and grade your recitations. All processing happens locally on your iPhone. Your audio is never recorded, stored, or sent to any server. This means speech recognition works even without an internet connection, and your privacy is fully protected.
Subscriptions are managed through Apple. To cancel: open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, select ReciteWell, and tap Cancel Subscription. You'll retain access through the end of your current billing period. We cannot cancel subscriptions on your behalf — Apple handles all billing.
Yes. ReciteWell is fully functional offline. All Bible verses, speech recognition, and memorization features work without an internet connection. The only feature that requires connectivity is iCloud sync, which updates your progress across devices when you're back online.
If you're signed into iCloud on your device, ReciteWell automatically syncs your memorization progress, verse scores, and path position across all your Apple devices. This uses Apple's CloudKit framework — your data is stored in your personal iCloud account. We don't have access to it. Sync happens in the background whenever you have a connection.
ReciteWell currently offers two translations: the King James Version (KJV) and the World English Bible (WEB). Both are in the public domain. The Guided Path uses KJV by default, but you can switch translations in Settings.
The Spot Check Gate is a retention checkpoint. Before you can advance to new verses on the Guided Path, ReciteWell randomly quizzes you on verses you've previously memorized. You need to prove you still know them before moving forward. This prevents the common problem of "learning" hundreds of verses while actually retaining none of them.
The speech recognition model is highly accurate for clear English speech. It compares your spoken words against the verse text and grades based on accuracy. Minor pronunciation variations are usually handled well. For best results, speak clearly and at a natural pace.
