About

Spelling Assist

Features
Read full description

Spelling Assist was born out of a simple frustration: every week, my daughter's school sends home a spelling list — in English and Chinese — that she's tested on at school. Every spelling app I tried made me retype that list by hand. So I built one where you just take a photo of the list and the words go straight in, ready to practice. Spelling Assist helps children practice for their school spelling tests in both English and Chinese. Snap a photo of your child's school spelling list to add words instantly, create custom lists, listen to words spoken aloud, and practice in a distraction-free, kid-friendly interface.
