## What is TurboWords Spelling?

Using speech recognition, quickly build a spelling test from your own weekly school words. Record them in one stretch. Sit back and watch as they are recognized into text. It’s easy and fun!

Then play the test, rich with options. Hear an AI generated sentence made with the word to spell, on devices with Apple Intelligence. Seeing, hearing and writing your words will help you succeed in school tests. An amimo character (from French "ami" [friend] and "mots" [words]) says words of encouragement.

And finally, track your progress. See the results of your last three tests, individually for each word. Earn a shining star.

Alternatively, play one of five games using your words: hangman-style, crossword, word search, charivari and word shuffle.

Includes one sample group to get you started.
