## What is ASL Speed Spell?

ASL Speed Spell allows American Sign Language learners to improve their fingerspelling speed. Whether you're newer to the ASL alphabet or have been studying for years, this free app can help learners at all levels understand fingerspelling faster and with better accuracy.

How is this ASL app different from the rest? Each fingerspelled word is individually recorded as its own video, so you can watch smoothly fingerspelled words at the speed of your choice. Plus, you can choose among several categories, like 'names', 'animals', and 'countries', to help add context to the word!

App Features:
- Practice fingerspelling over 500 words, each with their own video.
- Can't figure out the answer? Replay the video, or 'give up' to see what the word was.
- Adjust the speed of your practice - from Beginner all the way up to Expert.
- Choose which category of words you want to practice, so you have context behind the word.
- Forget how to sign a letter? The ‘alphabet’ page shows you each letter from multiple perspectives, including common variations.
- The Statistics page helps you keep track of your streaks, word counts, and more.
- Adjust your settings for daily practice reminders, statistics, and more. 
- Not a fan of ads? A small one-time in-app purchase removes ads from the app forever.

This app offers a paid premium option, available as either a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. For the subscription option, subscriptions renew within 24 hours of the subscription period ending, and a subscription purchase will be charged through your iTunes account. Manage at any time using Account Settings in iTunes. Privacy Policy and Terms of Use can be found at https://www.aslspeedspell.com/privacy.php

### 5/5 — Fingerspelling Practice

*2026-06-18*

Helps improve one’s receptive fingerspelling skills. Great practice. The only thing I wish they would do, is add numbers so maybe someone could practice fictional emails, phone numbers, addresses, etc. However overall great app.

### 4/5 — Pretty helpful but lots of adds

*2026-06-07*

I like this app because it helps me a lot with fingerspelling. It has helpful tips and is a good app in general. But, there is way too many adds. Every time i do something an add pops up. If they let adds pop up less frequently it would be better.

### 5/5 — Great and Simple!

*2026-04-20*

This is a great app to help with fingerspelling recognition. It’s really improved my confidence!

### 3/5 — Listen

*2026-04-02*

This game overall is good. However if you don’t know a word instead of helping it just give you the answer. Just in case you didn’t know… this app isn’t an asl learning app all it does it spelling asl. But you probably won’t need this app forever just until you remember your abcs and are good at reading them.

### 4/5 — Good practice speed

*2026-01-06*

Feedback- I wish it would play in the background while I did other things on my phone. ADHD multi tasking. Ie: listen to law and order in the background while practicing fingerspelling recognition. My previous app did it just fine but this one does not.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - I’ll write this down as a potential future feature!

### 1/5 — An Unimaginably Low Effort App

*2025-11-19*

There’s just one recording for every word, and the speed option is just the same file played slower or faster. There’s no realistic cadence of how Deaf people actually sign. The only reason anyone uses this roiling cesspool of garbage that aspires to mediocrity is that nobody has bothered to make a better app. They are the king of the trash pile.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for!

*2025-08-31*

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt this app deserved my praise cause I really enjoy it. Exactly what I was looking for, a simple tool to help me with fingerspelling. The videos flow super nicely with minimal distractions to keep me focused. There are lots of words prerecorded with very little repetition but I would love more since I’m gonna be using the app super often now! Definitely recommend this app for anyone learning!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-15, version 1.1.1*

No adds and letters are correct

### 5/5 — Finger speller helper

*2025-07-19*

I really like this app! I am hearing but learning ASL for about 2 years now and also have really wanted to finger spell quicker. It is really training my eye to read faster. I especially love how I can change the speeds.
Easy
Medium
Hard
Etc…

### 5/5 — Perfect!!

*2025-02-10*

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for as I practice and try to improve receptive fingerspelling! I love that you can choose the difficulty level and also word length.
