What is Spelling Practice?

Spelling Practice reads words aloud and lets you type the correct spelling. It uses text-to-speech to pronounce each word, then checks your answer right away. Pick a difficulty level, choose a round length of 5, 10, or 15 words, and go.

Word lists are localised to your language — English gets curated easy/medium/hard sets covering 30+ frequently misspelled words at each level, while other locales use words appropriate for that script and culture. Audio playback uses your device's text-to-speech voice, and the Listen button can be tapped again any time you want to hear the word repeated before submitting.

How to use

1. Step 1 — Choose a difficulty level or word category to get started.
2. Step 2 — Listen to the word being spoken, then type your best spelling in the input field.
3. Step 3 — Submit your answer to see if it's correct. Track your score and review any misspelled words.

When to use

• Daily spelling drills for kids preparing for a class test or spelling bee.
• Learners of a second language sharpening their ear and orthography together.
• Adults brushing up on tricky words they keep typing wrong at work.

Result

A student preparing for a spelling bee selects the 'Hard' difficulty. The tool says 'accommodation' aloud. They type their answer, submit it, and see whether they got it right — with the correct spelling shown if they missed it.

FAQ

How are easy, medium, and hard chosen?

Easy words are short and phonetically regular (cat, jump, book). Medium adds common irregular spellings and longer words (believe, friend, neighbour). Hard pulls from frequently misspelled lists with silent letters and doubled consonants (accommodate, conscience, embarrassed).

Why won't I hear any sound when I press Listen?

Spelling Practice uses your device's built-in text-to-speech engine. If your device has no voice installed for the current language, or the system volume is muted, no audio plays. On mobile, the first Listen press sometimes needs a tap to satisfy autoplay rules.

Is the comparison case-sensitive?

No. Your answer is lowercased and the correct word is lowercased before comparison, so capitalisation differences don't count against you. Spaces at the start or end are trimmed too. Spelling and letter order are what matter.

Can I see which words I missed at the end?

Yes. At the end of the round the results card lists every word you got wrong, the spelling you typed, and the correct spelling side by side. Drill the same set again or copy them into a study list.

Can I use my own word list?

Yes. Paste your own words into the Your own word list box on the setup screen — one per line or separated by commas. When the box has content the difficulty pool is ignored and rounds pull from your list. Use it for school vocabulary, medical terms, foreign-language drills, or anything else.
