Listen and Spell

Idea

The idea is to develop a self voicing application which would help children to learn new words, improve their spelling and pronunciation of words. The activity would speak out the a randomly selected word and user have to spell the word corectly. This activity is the extension of TalknType.

Simple Scenreoa

A simple use case scenario of the basic draft of the application is as follows

• User opens the application and selects the difficulty level suitably.
• Each level corresponds to different set of words. Words are sorted in order of difficulty to spell them.
• A random word would be selected and speak out from the corresponding word list.
• User would be required to spell the word correctly. ( Time limit can be optional)
• As the user writes each letter would be speak out.
• On submitting whole words would be spoken out. (This will help user to "feel" the difference between his spelling and the correct one.)
• User goes to next level if spelled say n words correctly.

Proposed features

Following are the proposed features/extension for the activity

1. Selecing the word list from dictionary [Words activity] :- This would be a very useful tool to internalize the activity.

1. Implementation of "Hint" :- This will again be used from dictionary. On requesting hint activity would either speak out the meaning or the usage of the word. This would help to resolve confusion for similar rhyming words.
