For parents who care
DictaCoach was built so homework doesn’t have to mean stress. Familiar school-style dictation, kid-friendly rewards, and a clear view of progress.
When practice feels like a game — not another battle — evenings get quieter and kids actually finish.
Snap the school list with OCR or type it once. You’re free to step away while they practise.
See accuracy, streaks, and weak words without sitting through every session. You’re still in the loop.
Features
From scanning the list to celebrating a badge — built so parents feel reassured and kids feel proud.
Listen and write on real paper — the same school dictation workflow kids already know. No typing required during practice.
Snap a photo of the weekly school list. DictaCoach extracts the words so setup takes under a minute — no tedious typing.
Listen and type on screen when paper isn’t handy. Get immediate corrections and encouraging explanations after every word.
Earn XP, level up, and unlock badges for effort and consistency — not just perfect scores. Practice that feels like a game.

How it works
Set up once. Your child practises independently. You stay informed — without the homework battles.
Scan the school list with OCR or enter words manually. Ready to practise in under a minute.
Choose Paper Mode (write on paper) or Digital Mode (type on screen) — no parent dictating required.
Hear the word, spell it, then reveal and mark. Encouraging corrections keep confidence high.
Parents see accuracy and weak words. Children earn XP, levels, and badges for sticking with it.
Feels like a game

Families say
Parents who got their evenings back — and children who ask to practise.
Parent“Sunday nights used to mean typing out twenty words from the school sheet. Now I snap a photo, and Sophie runs Paper Mode while I make dinner. I still see exactly which words she missed.”
Child“I like Paper Mode because it feels like real dictation at school. When I get a badge I show Mum — last week I got On Fire for practising every day!”
Parent“We needed something for both English and Chinese lists. Knowing practice stays private on the device — nothing uploaded — made me trust it right away.”
Child“I used to hate spelling homework. Now I want to beat my streak. Digital Mode is good when I’m in the car, but Paper Mode is my favourite because I write with my pencil.”
FAQ
DictaCoach is designed for children aged 7–11 practising weekly spelling or dictation lists from school. Older kids (10–11) can also set up their own lists.
