TypeLearn is a bilingual keyboard for learning from the words you actually write. Check candidate meanings while typing, request an Apple translation when you need one, and save the source text and translated expression as a flashcard to hear and review later. Learn in everyday writing Chats, notes and email contain expressions worth remembering. Select the text that matters, view an available translation, and choose whether to insert it, hear it or save it. Your input language and learning target are separate settings; changing your target does not replace your draft. Chinese and English typing tools • Bilingual candidates show local dictionary meanings for supported directions, with horizontal scrolling for longer definitions. • Chinese and English next-word predictions suggest what to type next. Manage available models in input settings. • English spelling correction offers suggestions while leaving the choice to you. • Offline Chinese and English speech transcription runs in the main app after you download the corresponding speech model. Save a transcript to the keyboard and confirm before inserting it. This is not direct voice dictation inside the third-party keyboard. Build your own vocabulary collection A successful translation creates a preview card with the source text and target expression. Only cards you explicitly save enter My Cards. Search your collection, listen to available pronunciation and use lightweight reviews to revisit expressions from conversations, study and work. Cards and progress stay separate by language direction. Choose English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, German, Italian, French or Chinese as a learning target. A selectable target does not mean every translation pair is supported. Apple translation availability depends on your OS, device, region and prepared language models. Compatibility and access • Supports iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Apple system translation requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later and a supported language pair. • Local translation and target-language speech do not require Full Access. Sharing saved cards from the keyboard extension with the main app may require Full Access under iOS keyboard rules. • Secure fields and apps that block third-party keyboards use the system keyboard. • New cards come from your actual text and successful translations. Previewing a card does not save it. Type as usual. Keep an expression when it is something you want to learn.

Spanish Alphabet takes you from zero to writing and reading the Spanish alphabet (alfabeto español) and its spelling-to-sound patterns. HANDWRITING PRACTICE - 38 items: 5 vowels, 6 accent marks, 22 consonants and 5 digraphs - Trace on a grid with animated stroke-order demonstrations - Every letter comes with its name, its IPA and a memory aid - Undo and redo when you slip SYLLABLE CHART - 20 consonants (including ch and ll) x 5 vowels = 100 syllables, each one traceable - Spelling shifts before e and i (que, gue, ce), so you can see how spelling maps to sound - Tap any syllable to hear it LISTEN AND LEARN - Consonant and vowel charts: tap a letter to hear it, long-press to copy it - Adjustable speech speed and slow replay - Pronunciation follows Castilian (Spain) Spanish - Some audio is real-voice recordings from Wikimedia Commons (Lingua Libre) released under CC0; the rest is synthesized with Piper, an open-source voice (all CC0) QUIZZES AND REVIEW - Two quiz types: see a letter and pick its name, or hear a sound and pick the letter - Practice all letters, only consonants or only vowels - Daily review scheduled with Leitner five-box spaced repetition, so missed letters come back more often - Optional daily review reminder ORIGIN - The history of Spanish, its letters and symbols, pronunciation tips, spelling rules and cognates shared with English PET PARK - A Spain-themed 3D park with flamenco dresses, the Sagrada Família, a Gaudí-style tiled bench, windmills, a paella stall, a guitar and olive trees; cats and dogs live there, and tapping a person plays a greeting in Spanish MORE - Available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English and Korean - Several theme colors and dark mode - Back up your progress to continue on another device - No sign-up or login; your data stays on your device The app shows banner ads, only on the quiz home and Settings screens. Only non-personalized ads are shown, and never on the handwriting or quiz-taking screens.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TypeLearn at none against Spanish Alphabet's shown. Spanish Alphabet's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
