Leave a Review Spell&Speak
My brother
My brother uses the Speak & Read to communicate with the
family. He had a stroke when he was one year old. Is there a way you could create the Speak & Read for the iPad? I know his original one is going to stop working and I don’t want him to be without it. Please consider creating an app. Thank you.Show lessAloramarie
OK, but yes, frustrating
The original had a "Say It" function that would read out ten words that you had to spell afterwards -- this doesn't seem to work the same. Also the original Spell A used simpler words. This does not seem to differentiate between Spell A-D. Ah well.. it's entertaining to some degree but makes me want to go out an shell on a used-yet-functional version of the real thing.Show lessTheAnimaster
Too small
This is the same voice used in many electronic music tracks in the 80'a and 90's. It would have been nice to add a feature not found in the original, such as speaking words you type into it. Menu options are too small to read clearly.PopBott
Just like the 1980s game we loved and better
This app is great, with the added advantage that you can switch between the original voice (which was always a challenge to understand) and 'best voice'. There are also Italian words with the translations. It would be great to be able to have French and Spanish too to support language learning.dream-cloud
Waste of money!
This app is a piece of crap. It literally does nothing. It just opens and that's it. Save your money! It's junk!!ContessaD
Needs more voice options
Very difficult to understand the words. Even "best voice" has an English accent which is very difficult to understand,Nostradamus11
Needs some work
It does sound like the original voice. I saw that it had an alternative voice that would be easier for the kids, but I don't think that voice is very easy to understand. I can't find any directions so maybe there are settings that I'm missing but if so, it looses stars for not being intuitive. The original machine had modules for different word lists. You could also cycle through several lists in the machine. This appears to only have "Spell A" single list. This list goes from the word "to" to "thorough" in the same list, it's not practical for my 6yo and just frustrates him not to use it. It would be nice with this new technology to allow the parent the ability to edit, or at least control, the word lists.Show lessCCTRLT
Much better in new voice
As previous review mentions, the newer voice is MUCH easier to understand & the "British" accent makes it more fun for my son. (original voice very nostalgic - but could not understand) Fun for al agesLynra7
Do not buy
Do not buy. Does not read back typed words.... Basic function is lost and the "games" are junk. Not worth a dime1305491829495502727$$$$8392
Rubbish
I bought this to help my daughter with her spelling, but as it doesn't tell you if you have the answer right or wrong it's no help at allMum2twoatprimary
