Dictation and spelling tests, read aloud and marked
For parents and teachers of children in Years 1 to 6. Pick or paste a list; the device reads each item twice, your child writes it, and every answer is checked. Free, no sign-up, and recordings of your voice never leave this device.
This week's list from school, or from ChatGPT
Type the words from your child's spelling list, or ask ChatGPT for "10 sentences for a Year 2 받아쓰기 test", and paste them under Paste your own list. Links work too: `?items=because|friend|people&lang=en-US`.
How to use it with your child
- Choose a list or paste your own: one word or sentence per line.
- Choose how many times each item is read (twice is usual) and the speed.
- Type on screen: your child types each answer and it is marked at once, with the right spelling shown for any slip. Write on paper: the device reads, your child writes, and you mark each item with ○ or ✗ at the end.
- Prefer your own voice? Choose Parent's voice and record each item once. The recordings are kept only on this device.
- Print sheet gives a numbered answer sheet (squares for Korean, Japanese and Chinese, lines for English) and an answer key on its own page.
Which school years it suits
Word lists suit Years 1–3; sentence dictation suits Years 2–6. Korean schools give weekly 받아쓰기 in Years 1–2, and Singapore primary schools hold weekly spelling tests from P1.
How marking works
Spaces at the ends and a missing final full stop are not counted, and capital letters don't matter for English. Everything else must match, so spelling and, for Korean, spacing inside the sentence count, just as in a school 받아쓰기.
Answers are compared with the list itself; nothing is guessed by AI.

Questions parents ask
Does my recorded voice get uploaded?
No. Recordings are stored in this browser on this device only, and Delete recordings or Clear this device removes them.
Can my child type Korean, Japanese or Chinese?
Yes, with the device's own keyboard for that language. For young children who can't type yet, choose Write on paper and mark the sheet yourself.
Why use squares on the printed sheet?
Korean 받아쓰기 notebooks and Japanese and Chinese practice paper use one square per character, which helps children space their writing. English lists print on lines.
