Read full description

Momo Dictation — the dictation practice tool built for Hong Kong parents and tutors. Stop reading every word aloud yourself. Just pick the words, and your phone reads them out in Cantonese, Mandarin or English, pausing automatically between each one so your child has time to write. Check the answers afterwards — easy and accurate. KEY FEATURES ■ Smart read-aloud Reads words in Cantonese, Mandarin, British or American English. 7 adjustable speed levels, with pause length that scales to word length to match your child's writing pace. ■ Scan from a photo Snap a photo of the word list in your child's textbook — the app recognises the text and turns it into a dictation list automatically. No typing needed. ■ Idiom library 384 common Chinese idioms (成語) from the HK curriculum, built in. Search, pick, and add to a list in one tap. ■ English spelling game Practice while you play! Momo slowly inflates on a countdown — spell the word right and you win time back. Learning that actually feels fun. ■ Thoughtful touches - Hide-text mode: kids practise on their own without peeking at answers - Shuffle: a different order each time, so they learn the words, not the positions - Fully adjustable repeats, pauses and speed - Tags to organise lists by textbook or unit ■ Choose your voice Works with the Cantonese, Mandarin and English voices on your iPhone — pick the one that sounds most natural. Dictation, sorted.
