Spelling practice app
What is Snap Spell?
Snap Spell is an iPhone spelling practice app that turns real school word lists into read-aloud review and spelling tests. Families can scan, import, paste, or type words, review them before saving, use Review List to listen and self-mark each word, use Take Test to type answers and let Snap Spell check spelling, and track progress from To Study to Mastered.
Snap Spell is not a generic OCR tool or a complete English course. It is a focused spelling practice app for the real word lists students need to learn, with one mode for self-marked review and one mode for typed spelling tests.
Parents helping at home
Use the exact school list, let Apple speech voices read words aloud, and spend less time rewriting or repeatedly reading the same words.
Students practicing independently
Review List supports self-marked practice, while Take Test asks students to type each word so Snap Spell can check spelling.
ESL/EFL families
Families who are not native English speakers can use read-aloud practice to hear each spelling word without relying only on a parent pronunciation.
Teachers and tutors
Custom classroom or tutoring word lists can become reusable practice lists. Pro adds printable sheets and separate learner progress.
Practice modes
Two ways to practice
Use the same saved word list for a self-marked review session or a typed spelling test.
01
Review List
Listen to each word, reveal the answer if needed, then mark each word yourself.
02
Take Test
Type each word and let Snap Spell check the spelling and suggest the next status.
How it works
How does Snap Spell turn word lists into practice?
Snap Spell turns the page a student brings home into a focused spelling practice loop: capture the words, review the list aloud, take a typing test, and mark progress.
01
Capture the list
Scan a printed school sheet, import a photo or screenshot, paste text, or type words by hand.
02
Review before saving
Check recognized words, fix mistakes, remove extra text, and keep the spelling exactly as assigned.
03
Hear each word aloud
Use Apple speech voices to read spelling words aloud for parent-led or independent practice.
04
Review or test the words
Use Review List to listen, reveal if needed, and mark words yourself, or Take Test to type each answer and let Snap Spell check it.
05
Track what still needs work
Mark words as To Study, Practicing, or Mastered so the next session starts with the words that need attention.
Practice the real words students bring home.
Use Snap Spell for weekly spelling words, homework, spelling tests, spelling bee prep, ESL/EFL practice, tutoring, and classroom lists.
