## What is Mathvo?

For anyone who wants to sharpen their mental math. The app presents a math question on a card; use your voice to answer. 

Way back in elementary school we used to be sent out into the hallway to practice math flashcards with parent volunteers. Fast forward into the 21st century and we can do this with speech recognition and an iPad or iPhone. Designed with your primary grades elementary student in mind, this handy tool can make learning foundational math fun.

The app presents one question at a time from a set of cards. Use your voice to answer the question. If the answer is correct, another question on a card is presented.  For example, if your device or the app is configured for English and the question presented is 2 + 1, say "three", and the next card will be presented. If the app does not hear the correct answer, you will get a visual indication that the answer is not correct and you can try the question again. The next card is only displayed if the card is answered correctly. Cards are grouped into sets of questions arranged by difficulty level. The question sets automatically get more difficult as questions are correctly answered. The question sets automatically get easier if the questions appear too difficult. At any time, the card difficulty can be manually adjusted to a previously accessed level. The screenshots shown are samples of questions from various difficulty levels that may or may not appear during actual use of the app, (i.e. the app questions are randomly generated).

Have an older iPad or iPhone or iPod touch? We've tried to make the app work with as many devices as possible that can do speech recognition. The app runs in landscape mode, and each question card fills the screen. There are two important device features that the app will require access to: the microphone (to hear your spoken answer), and speech recognition (to understand your spoken answer). The app will walk you through a very short setup sequence the very first time you open the app.

The app comes pre-loaded with levelled questions focussing on addition. This helps the student focus on mastering the absolute basics first.

Tap a card's upturned corner to access an option to switch topics to multiplication. From the back side of a card, select the desired multiplication table to practice.

Occasional incorrect answers due to wrong-word or "sound-a-like" substitutions may occur due to the inherent limitations of speech recognition. Over time, with continued use of speech recognition, errors due to these substitutions may decrease.

No in-app purchases. A one-time purchase provides access to the entire app for all your supported devices.

Whether it's new material for learners or not yet ingrained for reviewers, all will find this tool useful.

### 2/5 — I want to like this app

*2024-10-01*

Voice recognition was ok. I give it a B.
My son’s “r” sounds need to mature, so voice recognition had a hard time understanding his 4s and 3s.

Next, it seems we have no control over what is quizzed. I have one kid who I need to quiz +4, +3, +2,  but another kid who can do all the possibilities.  I wish I could have control over what flash cards to show.

Also, there never seemed to be a stopping g point, or even a running tally of how many we’ve gone through. It was quite endless.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We will take the "r sounds" thoughts into consideration for improvements to the recognition engine. If you wouldn't mind contacting us over email at support@zymbiotic.com, we can ask you more details about the 4s and 3s pronunciations.

Regarding the "stopping point", the initial design was intended to be "endless", where questions get harder as the student answers more and more correctly. In practice we have observed that students stop after a certain amount of self-imposed or teacher-timed session time. There is also a subtle downward animation of a card leaving the screen (instead of sliding over) that can be used to indicate a "session" has ended.

Tapping the bottom right corner of a card will allow you to choose a difficulty level.

### 5/5 — Win win situation

*2023-05-08*

Kids can practice answering CORRECTLY on their own if parents don’t have the time. The instant feedback when you answer right is satisfying!

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2023-04-07*

I am using this since it was recommended to me after I had a stroke. It is helping me exercise my brain.

### 5/5 — Great for teachers and parents

*2023-02-28*

This app is so much fun, I just downloaded it and tried it! The voice recognition is smart technology to keep kids engaged. I can’t wait to try it with my students!
