For parents who care

Peaceful practice nights — finally

DictaCoach was built so homework doesn’t have to mean stress. Familiar school-style dictation, kid-friendly rewards, and a clear view of progress.

No more fighting over homework

When practice feels like a game — not another battle — evenings get quieter and kids actually finish.

Setup in under a minute

Snap the school list with OCR or type it once. You’re free to step away while they practise.

Progress you can trust

See accuracy, streaks, and weak words without sitting through every session. You’re still in the loop.

Features

Everything you need for peaceful practice

From scanning the list to celebrating a badge — built so parents feel reassured and kids feel proud.

Authentic Paper Mode

Listen and write on real paper — the same school dictation workflow kids already know. No typing required during practice.

OCR Word List Scanner

Snap a photo of the weekly school list. DictaCoach extracts the words so setup takes under a minute — no tedious typing.

Digital Mode with Instant Feedback

Listen and type on screen when paper isn’t handy. Get immediate corrections and encouraging explanations after every word.

Gamification (XP + Badges)

Earn XP, level up, and unlock badges for effort and consistency — not just perfect scores. Practice that feels like a game.

Parent Progress Dashboard

See accuracy trends, streaks, weak words, and weekly activity at a glance — without sitting through every session.

Bilingual Support

English, Traditional Chinese (繁體中文), and Simplified Chinese (简体中文). Set language per list for bilingual families.

How it works

Four gentle steps to a better week

Set up once. Your child practises independently. You stay informed — without the homework battles.

1

Parent adds word list

Scan the school list with OCR or enter words manually. Ready to practise in under a minute.

2

Child practises independently

Choose Paper Mode (write on paper) or Digital Mode (type on screen) — no parent dictating required.

3

Instant feedback + self-marking

Hear the word, spell it, then reveal and mark. Encouraging corrections keep confidence high.

4

Progress + rewards

Parents see accuracy and weak words. Children earn XP, levels, and badges for sticking with it.

Feels like a game

XP, levels & badges that keep kids coming back

Families say

Calmer evenings. Prouder kids.

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.

Priya M.

Mum of Sophie, 9

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!

Ethan, 8

Year 3 student

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.

Mei-Ling C.

Parent of bilingual twins, 10

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.

Year 5 student
