Waste of money!
This app is a piece of crap. It literally does nothing. It just opens and that's it. Save your money! It's junk!!

At the error, you have another chance to rewrite it.
If you are wrong, Spell&Speak pronounce the word three times, one of which spelling, so that the child has a correct perception of individual letters and the correlation between sound and form, this repetition after switching to the next word until the end the match.

Each play has 10 words.

Needs more voice options
Very difficult to understand the words. Even "best voice" has an English accent which is very difficult to understand,

Needs some work
It does sound like the original voice. I saw that it had an alternative voice that would be easier for the kids, but I don't think that voice is very easy to understand. I can't find any directions so maybe there are settings that I'm missing but if so, it looses stars for not being intuitive. The original machine had modules for different word lists. You could also cycle through several lists in the machine. This appears to only have "Spell A" single list. This list goes from the word "to" to "thorough" in the same list, it's not practical for my 6yo and just frustrates him not to use it. It would be nice with this new technology to allow the parent the ability to edit, or at least control, the word lists.

Much better in new voice
As previous review mentions, the newer voice is MUCH easier to understand & the "British" accent makes it more fun for my son. (original voice very nostalgic - but could not understand) Fun for al ages

Nice emulator
Its a cute speak and spell emulator. The buttons are almost too small to see on the iphone. Might be better on ipad. Sounds like the original. Would like the button text to be a bit larger.

Classic
This is the classic speak n spell in all its' unintelligible glory. I appreciate them keeping the same sounds, but the original voice is a little rough for a default. It wasn't until after I played for a while, gave up and wrote a review and read some more that I found a way to change the voice into a more modern one. It's hidden under the # key on the keyboard.

Awful App
Voice is perfect, but it cannot "say" anything you want it to. It just asks you to type words it tells you to type. Hard to type on small letters. Should never have been allowed to be put on App Store. Rip off. I want my money back!!!!!!!

It works i guess.
Waste of an app and 1.99. I was bored after 30 seconds. I dont really remember the old one but i basically just wanted to type and have it read words but it doesnt. Has different "game modes" but really boring.

Childhood
This takes me back to my childhood when my uncle bought it for me and my brother.

Worst app ever
Believe the reviews about it being hard to understand. I thought it said spell pull so I put poll and it was incorrect so I put pole and it said no the correct spelling is t o o l. But even worst is the buttons on the screen are so small you can barely push them to spell the words, they are a third of the size of the buttons on my iPhone keypad. You almost always hit the wrong letter but most of the time when I hit the buttons it says nothing at all. This is a complete scam. I want to know how to get money back.

Works best on iPad
The keyboard is WAY too small on the iPhone. It is very hard to type.
Works fine on the iPad's bigger screen.

The real deal
Perfect reproduction. Kraftwerk fans will recognize the voice and beep tones from "Computer World"

Great App
My sister had this game and this app reminds me of those times. I'd be interested in the speak n math which is the game I had as a child.

No Good at All
Too hard to understand no matter which voice you use. I'm glad my childhood memory was worth $1.99, this app surely isn't.

Great rendition of an old friend.
I loved my Speak & Spell so I was thrilled to see a few apps out there emulating it. This app is the best, spot on and even has the original button types. Can't wait to share some memories with my kids.

Nostalgic
The improved voice has a strong British accent, so the original voice is actually better for correct American English pronunciation if you are using this as a learning game for a child.

A Powerful Machine
Back then, it was real. I bought it for the "memory." A very good friend indeed.

Perfect! Just like in third grade...
Love the clearer annunciation present in this version.Nails it! Well done:)

Faithfully replicated
I played with a real Speak & Spell only a few years ago, and this is exactly as I remember it. Great!
