Spelling Notebook
Spelling Notebook is a spelling practice app where students build word lists, hear words spoken, take tests, and work on words they have not mastered. Its searchable dictionary contains more than 100,000 words, and students can add entries. A built-in voice speaks dictionary words and added English words; users can also record a word or phrase in their own voice. Dictionary spelling can be set for US, UK, Australian, Canadian, or New Zealand English. Students can create, edit, rename, delete, copy, and paste lists, or move words between lists. After an initial test, practice can concentrate on missed words, with adjustable settings. The app keeps test and practice history for reviewing results and progress. Lists can be imported or exported with iCloud Drive and shared by AirDrop or email; test results can also be emailed. Spelling Notebook is listed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, with iOS and macOS as its platforms. The download is free. An optional 1.99 USD one-time in-app purchase removes the free version’s word-list limit, according to an App Store user review.
