Learn by heart
what deserves to live there
Scripture and the classics — graded honestly, scheduled humanely, kept for good.
Create a free accountHonest grading.
You type or say the passage, and the app scores it word for word. There is no rating yourself.
A humane schedule.
Spaced review brings each passage back shortly before you would forget it. Nothing is scheduled on Sundays, and a Sunday never breaks a streak.
A library that stays yours.
Scripture, poetry, speeches, and historical documents, all in the public domain. Nothing you learn here can be licensed away later.
For adults who want the texts they were never asked to learn.
A psalm, a sonnet, a speech, a founding document. Most schooling never asked for any of it by heart. Versi is the memory part of a classical education, and it starts from the beginning. Placement is by what you can already recite, not by age or grade. The app drills, schedules, and keeps score; the reading is yours.
Households can share one plan. Each person keeps their own progress, and a shared set lets everyone learn the same text at the same time.
How it works
- 1
Read
Read the passage aloud with the text in front of you. The app highlights each word as you say it.
- 2
Build
Learn it line by line: recite what you have, add the next line, recite it all again.
- 3
Review
Passages come back on a schedule based on how well you know them.
- 4
Recite
Say it from memory and get a word-for-word score, at a desk or hands-free by voice.
Why memorize?
What you hold in memory is there when the book is closed. Classical education has always begun with it, and Douglass, Churchill, and King each learned the speeches they drew on by heart first.

Versi is Italian for “verses.” The app's motto, Verso l'Alto, “toward the heights,” belongs to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, a young mountaineer who carried Dante in his memory.
