Spell&Speak User Reviews

Top reviews

Similar to the original

I understand that there are mixed reviews about this application, I’ve read through a few of them and decided to try it out for myself. I love how the developer stayed true to the look of the original speak and spell, especially with the electronic voice. (Side note it makes me think of E.T.). Some users have reported that it is kind of difficult to understand the electronic voice when it speaks, but I see this as something minor. Honestly since I have tried out the app a few times, I have easily been able to understand what it’s saying. Overall this app is awesome, and a must download. This will definitely re awaken a part of your childhood. Have fun!!

Perfect! Just like in third grade...

Love the clearer annunciation present in this version.Nails it! Well done:)

A Waste Of Money

The app does not work. The user interface buttons are so tiny. You can’t press them with your fingertips. The font on the Help menu is so small that you need a magnifying glass to read. Really disappointed in this App.

Nostalgia and Good for Spelling

I got the original Speak & Spell from eBay and this is 100% the same!! I would even pay for extra words, can you make that possible?

Great in certain ways but also not too great

So what I mean by my title is that some of the words are intelligble, but you can understand words like Earth, Angel, Word, Touch, etc. But certain words like To, Pull, Tool, can be very intelligible.
Also I see this app as useful for other than the nostgia people wish to have but also for some of the other things at hand.

now spell answer

f-r-e-e-d-o-m

wrong, try again

Don’t get. I’m warning you.

DONT GET THIS APP. IT IS SLOW, UNHELPFUL, AND ANNOYING.

Not worth it

I should have paid attention before spending $2 that I cannot get back.

Even though it had the same voice from the original l, the are small and not interactive. The app/interaction does not appear to be working as it should. Waste of time…

Best thing to do with £1.99

I did what any normal person this time would do; I spell F R E E D O M to ANSWER and G A B R I E L to ANGEL. :)

IT DOES NOT WORK!!

Screenshot only. So lame.

HORRIBLE APP

THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE!!! DON'T WASTE UR MONEY FOR THIS IT'S FREAKING CRAP

토이스토리 보다가 생각나서 구입

레트로 제대로 느낄 수 잇음

Terrible

I bought this for a bit of nostalgia. I can’t understand the words even of easyspeak.
Rubbish! ☹️

It doesn’t work.

I feel ripped off it is a small picture of original. Unable to zoom in or see the buttons and it doesn’t work properly. Save your money but the real thing or try another app

Big waste of money, stay clear

Just like the toy on iPad

Awesome, just like the toy.
I’ll try not to try and phone home with this one

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.

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.

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.

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.
