With iDictation, listen, write and understand your mistakes. The daily dictation waits for you every day. SEVEN DICTATION LANGUAGES, ONE APP The app itself is in English. The dictations are yours to choose: tap the flag at the top of the menu to practice English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish or Portuguese. The daily dictation, the levels, the catalog and the correction all follow the language you pick. Perfect for keeping up a language learned at school. THE DAILY DICTATION: A GOOD HABIT TO KEEP A text selected every day to make you want to come back and write. Tap "Do today's dictation", listen to the sections at your own pace and move on to the correction. A REMINDER SO YOU DON'T MISS IT Turn on the reminder from the menu: your device tells you when the daily dictation is waiting. Snooze it with a tap if it isn't the right moment, or turn it off whenever you like. The reminder lives on your device, with no sign-up. LISTEN, WRITE, PROGRESS Rediscover the pleasure of dictation. Listen to the text, type what you hear directly in the app, then read your work back. Practice spelling, grammar, agreements and conjugation through varied texts and literary extracts. TAKE YOUR TIME TO WRITE Missed a passage? Replay it as often as you need, or go back to the previous one. The slow sections give you time to write. You decide when to move on. No one needs to dictate the text for you. SPOT YOUR MISTAKES, UNDERSTAND THE RULES The correction compares your work with the expected text. Tap a mistake: you get an explanation and a tip to remember the rule. Every dictation includes one free explanation. REVIEW YOUR MISTAKES, ONE BY ONE Your mistakes land in your notebook, on your device, with their explanation, turned into exercises. In a session, listen to the original sentence and retype the right word. The fixed word leaves the notebook. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS "My progress" brings together your real figures: day streak, corrected dictations, average score and the state of your notebook. Your league, from Beginner to Expert, moves up with every corrected dictation. And you can share a report, ideal for following a child's progress. A CATALOG TO VARY YOUR PRACTICE Choose from 3 difficulty levels: the first three dictations of each level open up with your successes, and you can redo a dictation to improve your score. Training for your studies, a refresher, or the pleasure of writing it right. WHO IS IT FOR? For students, from 8 to 14 years old, and for adults who want to brush up on their spelling. GETTING STARTED • Seven dictation languages, one tap away: the flag at the top of the menu. • The daily dictation waits for you every day. • Your first three dictations of each level: the first one waits for you, the next open up with your successes. • Understand your mistakes: an explanation and a tip with every dictation. • Your mistakes gathered in your notebook, to retype until the right word sticks. • Your progress in figures: streak, scores, league. And a report to share. • The reminder that tells you when the daily dictation is waiting. FOR PARENTS • A progress report you can share: day streak, scores, mistakes still to review. • No sign-up: no account to create, nothing to manage. • The daily reminder — switch it on or off with one tap. • Levels for every school year, from age 8 to 14 — and for adults. Your next appointment with words starts here.
