How It Works
From School Spelling List to Interactive Audio Test in 3 Steps
Spelling Boost automates the entire dictation process so your child can practise spelling independently β anytime, anywhere.
π·
Step 1: Scan or Type Your Spelling List
Use the built-in camera scanner to photograph your child’s printed school spelling list, or type words in manually. The app instantly creates an interactive test.
π§
Step 2: Your Child Practises Independently
The app dictates each word aloud using clear text-to-speech audio. Your child writes or types the answer β just like a real classroom spelling test.
π
Step 3: Track Progress and Master Tricky Words
View detailed results after every test. The adaptive Tricky Words mode automatically identifies problem words and creates targeted review sessions.
Features
Built for Real Spelling Practice
Every feature is designed to automate weekly spelling practice β dictating words aloud, checking handwritten answers, marking and tracking progress automatically.
π·
Camera Spelling List Scanner
Point your camera at any printed spelling list and the built-in camera scanner instantly digitises it into an interactive test. No more manual typing β scan and practise in seconds.
βοΈ
On-Screen Handwriting Input
Children write their answers directly on the screen using a finger or stylus β practising real penmanship alongside spelling, just like writing in their school exercise book. Research shows handwriting activates more of the brain than typing, making spelling stick longer.
π
Audio Dictation in 81 Voices, 122 Languages
Uses your Android device’s built-in TTS engine β the same high-quality voice your phone already uses β to pronounce each word clearly. Works fully offline after a one-time setup. See all supported languages.
π
Adaptive Tricky Words Mode
Tracks which words your child has struggled with most recently, how long it has been since they last practised each word, and which words are newest to their list β so hard words keep reappearing, but practice never feels like the same ten words on a loop.
π
Sentence & Punctuation Practice
Go beyond single words with full-sentence dictation. Text Practice Mode tests spelling alongside capitalisation, punctuation, and word spacing in real paragraph contexts.
π
Detailed Progress Reports
Track your child’s spelling performance over time with comprehensive results. See side-by-side comparisons of their answers, spot patterns, and celebrate improvements.
