## What is DictaCoach?

Help your child ace spelling tests at home.

DictaCoach turns your child's weekly school word list into a 
practice session in seconds — no tutoring required.

SCAN WORD LISTS IN SECONDS
Take a photo of the school word list and DictaCoach reads the 
words automatically. No typing required.

PAPER MODE — JUST LIKE SCHOOL
The app reads each word aloud. Your child writes it down on 
paper, then checks their answer on screen. Exactly how classroom 
dictation works.

DIGITAL MODE — INSTANT FEEDBACK
Type answers on screen and get immediate, encouraging feedback 
with helpful spelling rule hints.

KEEPS KIDS MOTIVATED
XP points, levels, and badges reward effort and consistency — 
not just correct answers. Children actually want to practise.

PARENT DASHBOARD
See accuracy trends, weak words, and session history at a 
glance. Know exactly how your child is progressing week by week.

PRIVATE & SECURE
All data stays on your device. School documents are never 
uploaded to any server.

ENGLISH & CHINESE — CANTONESE OR MANDARIN
Supports English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese 
dictation practice, with a choice of Cantonese or Mandarin 
pronunciation — perfect for bilingual families in Hong Kong, 
Taiwan, and Singapore.

UP TO 5 CHILDREN
Manage practice for the whole family from one account, each 
with their own word lists, progress, and achievements.

Set up takes under 60 seconds. Your child practises 
independently. You see the results.

Less than one tutoring session per month.
