What it is

Spelling Boost turns spelling lists into spoken dictation practice for Android. Learners can scan a printed list with the camera or enter words manually, hear them spoken aloud, and answer by typing or writing on screen with a finger or stylus. The app checks answers and tracks progress, including answer comparisons and performance over time. Tricky Words creates review sessions for difficult words, while Text Practice Mode dictates full sentences covering spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and spacing. Parents can enter test dates and receive reminders. The maker says dictation works offline through the device’s speech engine. Spelling Boost offers 81 regional spoken voices across 70 languages and 122 localized interface settings. Google Play says the app contains ads and in-app purchases. Its listing says data is encrypted in transit and users can request deletion, and that the app may collect and share personal information, app activity, and app performance information.
