Hear it. Write it. Learn it. SpellInk is a handwriting-first spelling and vocabulary practice app designed for focused learning without ads, accounts, or distractions. HEAR THE WORD SpellInk uses the device's built-in voice to say each word aloud. Hear it again, hear it in a sentence, or check the meaning when you need help. WRITE IT BY HAND Handwriting is the default practice method. Write with a finger or stylus on the on-screen writing paper, see what SpellInk recognizes, then check your spelling. Keyboard input is also available in grown-up settings. WORK THROUGH EVERY WORD Choose a grade or vocabulary level and SpellInk keeps track of coverage so words are not forgotten simply because a session ended. Practice gradually moves through unseen words while bringing back words that need review. SMART REVIEW Words that are missed, need hints, or have not been practiced recently return for another attempt. Progress separates words that are unseen, learning, and mastered. SPELLING TESTS YOUR WAY Choose 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, a custom number, or every word in the selected bank. Large all-word tests are resumable, so they can be completed over multiple sittings. USE YOUR OWN WORDS Create custom spelling lists for school, homeschool, tutoring, spelling bees, or weekly homework. Practice or test only that list, with its own coverage and progress. LEARN, PRACTICE, REVIEW • Learn new words with meaning and example sentences • Practice by handwriting or keyboard • Review tricky words • Take configurable spelling tests • Track coverage and mastery • Use preschool through high-school word levels • Create unlimited custom word lists BUILT FOR PRIVACY AND OFFLINE USE No ads. No account. No in-app purchases. No behavioral tracking. Progress, settings, and custom lists are stored on the device. Device speech and handwriting recognition are designed to work offline after the required on-device language resources are installed. SpellInk keeps the experience simple: listen carefully, remember the spelling, write it, and improve one word at a time.
