Spell Up vs Spelvo

Spell Up is a spelling practice platform for students and educators, available on web, iOS, and Android. Easy Mode combines audio pronunciation, multiple-choice questions, definition matching, immediate feedback, and a three-lives format. Competition Mode asks learners to spell words from audio and offers hints about word length, letters, and definitions. Practice also covers dictation, word formation, contextual usage, pattern recognition, and explanations of spelling rules. Teachers can assign custom word lists and monitor student progress. Learners can use personalized lists and adaptive practice; signed-in users can save chosen lists and track progress across devices. The site offers school and champions lists from the 2024 Scripps One Bee, Two Bee, and Three Bee competitions, as well as an SAT list. The interactive demo and word lists can be tried without signing up, while the full experience requires sign-up. The Google Play listing says practice can work without a constant internet connection and describes badges and a streak calendar. Spell Up has a free plan, though its terms say some services may require subscriptions that renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends.

Spelvo turns Malaysian school spelling lists into daily practice for children, with Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Chinese support. On Android or the web, a child or parent can photograph handwritten or printed lists for OCR conversion, then translate them across those three languages. Practice includes typed spelling, flashcard review, audio playback, and retries focused on missed words. Spelvo says its Google text-to-speech audio provides pronunciation in all three languages. Vo the Bee reads photographed handwritten answers and marks each word; the site says this takes under 10 seconds. Users can share lists and join school, tuition, or invite-only groups with leaderboards. Spelvo accepts KSSR Standard 1–6 lists and lists from other Malaysian school streams, including international schools. Individual classroom teachers and tuition tutors can request a free Teacher Account with unlimited OCR and student invite links granting a six-month Guest Pass. Onboarding is manual, and the account is not for centre owners. The Free plan includes three lifetime snaps and one child profile. Paid plans are 9.90 MYR a month billed annually for Single, 19.90 MYR a month billed annually for Plus, and 29.90 MYR a month billed annually for Max.
