DictAPP permet de créer une dictée, de l’enregistrer et de la faire transcrire par l’enfant. Une correction automatique du texte signale les erreurs, montrant ou non les mots mal orthographiés. Cette application permet donc aux professeurs ou aux parents de proposer des textes contenant les difficultés orthographiques courantes ou bien celles que l’on sait fréquentes chez l’enfant. On peut ainsi multiplier les chances de corriger une erreur habituelle. Cette application complète nos autres applications de dictées (Dictées de mots CP, Dictées de mots CE1, etc.), adaptées à chaque niveau de l’école primaire et déjà publiées par ABC-Applications.
