ASL Speed Spell allows American Sign Language learners to improve their fingerspelling speed. Whether you're newer to the ASL alphabet or have been studying for years, this free app can help learners at all levels understand fingerspelling faster and with better accuracy. How is this ASL app different from the rest? Each fingerspelled word is individually recorded as its own video, so you can watch smoothly fingerspelled words at the speed of your choice. Plus, you can choose among several categories, like 'names', 'animals', and 'countries', to help add context to the word! App Features: - Practice fingerspelling over 500 words, each with their own video. - Can't figure out the answer? Replay the video, or 'give up' to see what the word was. - Adjust the speed of your practice - from Beginner all the way up to Expert. - Choose which category of words you want to practice, so you have context behind the word. - Forget how to sign a letter? The ‘alphabet’ page shows you each letter from multiple perspectives, including common variations. - The Statistics page helps you keep track of your streaks, word counts, and more. - Adjust your settings for daily practice reminders, statistics, and more. - Not a fan of ads? A small one-time in-app purchase removes ads from the app forever. This app offers a paid premium option, available as either a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. For the subscription option, subscriptions renew within 24 hours of the subscription period ending, and a subscription purchase will be charged through your iTunes account.
