¿Tienes que preparar un Spelling Bee y no sabes cómo practicar en voz alta? Spelling Bee Trainer convierte cualquier lista de palabras en inglés en una sesión de práctica oral: la app dice la palabra, tu la deletreas hablando, y la app va mostrando cada letra en pantalla mientras la escucha — igual que ocurriría delante de un jurado real. Además, te va corrigiendo! CÓMO FUNCIONA - Crea una o varias listas de palabras (para cada uno de tus hijos, por asignatura, por dificultad, o por lo que necesites) - Añade las palabras a mano, o haz una foto a la lista de palabras que tienes que estudiar y la app extrae el texto sola, luego te da la opción de añadir o no añadir cada una de las palabras identificadas - Pulsa jugar, y practica: la app dice la palabra, tu la deletreas, y ves las letras rellenándose en tiempo real - Si te equivocas, puedes intentarlo de nuevo sin perder lo que ya llevabas bien - Sigue tu progreso: cuántas palabras llevas acertadas y cuántas quedan PENSADA PARA CUALQUIER LISTA No hace falta que sea para un Spelling Bee escolar — sirve para memorizar vocabulario de cualquier examen o lista de palabras en inglés. PRIVACIDAD Todo el reconocimiento de voz y de texto se procesa en el propio dispositivo. No creamos cuentas, no mostramos anuncios, y no recopilamos ni compartimos tus datos con nadie. Los detalles completos están en nuestra política de privacidad. Pero vamos, todo ocurre exclusivamente en tu dispositivo. GRATIS PARA EMPEZAR Puedes crear hasta 3 listas con hasta 10 palabras cada una sin pagar nada — de sobra para probar la app de verdad. Si quieres listas y palabras ilimitadas, puedes desbloquearlo con una compra única dentro de la app. Esperamos que la disfrutes!!
