Why handwriting matters when learning to spell:
In today’s tech-centric world, children rely on autocorrect and spell-check tools, which can hinder the development of fundamental spelling skills. These digital conveniences can obscure the hands-on learning experience leading to gaps in spelling proficiency. Spell Write™ tackles this challenge by reintroducing handwriting as a central element of spelling practice. By integrating handwriting with real-time feedback, Spell Write™ ensures that students get the vital practice needed to master spelling. This foundational skill supports their academic success and builds the confidence necessary to thrive at school and in their future careers.
How it works:
Research has shown that handwriting engages the brain differently compared to typing. Writing by hand helps activate areas of the brain involved in memory, motor control, and learning. Studies suggest that the process of forming letters by hand improves retention, as it involves more cognitive effort and attention than typing. The act of writing allows for better encoding of information, making it easier to recall and apply later. This is why handwriting is often considered more effective for learning and memory retention.
The Importance of strong spelling skills:
Poor spelling can diminish a student’s confidence well into adulthood, making them hesitant to share ideas or participate in group activities, such as brainstorming sessions, where they need to write in front of classmates - or later, colleagues. This lack of confidence can stall career growth and limit professional opportunities. In contrast, strong spelling skills foster self-assurance, enabling individuals to communicate effectively and embrace new challenges. By developing spelling proficiency early, students gain the confidence to excel academically and succeed professionally. Spell Write™ supports this by offering a natural, interactive, and effective approach to spelling practice with handwriting at its core.

Ratings and Reviews
Nice idea, but needs some polish
Not really much to look at visually, but despite that this app has two key features that I was looking for: the ability to add your own spelling lists; and the ability to hand-write your answers. That particular combination is something I haven’t come across in another spelling app (yet) and is a major selling point for me.
I’ve only been playing around with it for a few minutes, but the handwriting detection seems pretty accurate so far, and I like the fact that the app will read my chosen words without me having to record myself saying them.
However a few things have also immediately jumped out at me that I think could be improved…
1. The orientation for the spelling tests seems to be locked into landscape view, but for the menu it’s locked into portrait view, which is annoying.
2. The area for writing your answers is quite tight, and your writing gets cropped if you stray out of bounds - given the amount of dead space on the screen it doesn’t really seem necessary to hide the overflow in this way, and I think it spoils the look.
3. The play, submit and hint buttons could probably do with some prompts or labelling.
4. It could probably do with a repeat / hear the same question again button, too.
Also (and these are more suggestions / requests) as a parent of a disabled child who’s handwriting is a little shaky and larger than average it would be nice to have a ‘scale’ button or slider to increase the size of the page lines, and also the option to use the keyboard to type the answer if they’re having a bad hand-writing day.
I appreciate that these things are always a WIP, and I’d be happy to revise my rating upwards and give a new review, if the above get fixed / added, as I think there’s the potential for this to be really useful little tool with a bit more work.
