What's New in 香港小學默書通 Dictation Buddy
1.0.6
September 20, 2026
This update adds flashcards. • New: pick any words from a dictation and study them as flashcards — one at a time, large on screen and read aloud. Leave it on auto to turn the cards for you, anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds each. • Chinese now appears in a kai typeface drawn to the Hong Kong Education Bureau's standard character forms — the shapes children are taught to write. • Quotation marks are now read aloud during dictation, so they can be written down like any other punctuation. • Mock dictation is now called simply dictation throughout the app.
