About this app

ASL Speed Spell allows American Sign Language learners to improve their fingerspelling speed. Whether you're newer to the ASL alphabet or have been studying for years, this app can help learners at all levels understand fingerspelling faster and with better accuracy.

Why is this app different from the rest? Each fingerspelled word is individually recorded as its own video, so you can watch smoothly fingerspelled words at the speed of your choice. Plus, you can choose among several categories, like 'names', 'animals', and 'countries', to help add context to the word. Practice every day to watch your fingerspelling skills bloom!

App Features:
- Practice fingerspelling over 500 words, each with their own video.
- Can't figure out the answer? Replay the video, or 'give up' to see what the word was.
- Adjust the speed of your practice - from Beginner all the way up to Expert.
- Choose which category of words you want to practice, so you have context behind the word.
- Forget how to sign a letter? The ‘alphabet’ page shows you each letter from multiple perspectives, including common variations.
- The Statistics page helps you keep track of your streaks, word counts, and more.
- Adjust your settings for daily practice reminders, statistics, and more.
- Not a fan of ads? A small one-time in-app purchase removes ads from the app forever.

Ratings and reviews

I've tried multiple fingerspelling recognition practice apps but I always seem to come back to this one. Try it you may like it too. I'm using the paid version which was a small one-time payment. But the free version was nice too with just a few ads if you select the few ads option under "support this ap with". The paid version removes ads and provides categories of words like countries animals names etc.

One of the most helpful tools for upping my fingerspelling game. I hate ads, but these are not too bad and easy to close. I only wish the ads didn't play sound. I seriously appreciate the one-time purchase for ad-free, I'm sick of subscriptions. Happily paid! The videos are smooth and the variation in letter formation helped me a lot. The daily practice reminders are unobtrusive and help keep me on-task. But I wish the notification bar icon was easier to see.

I love this app. It's very helpful. I don't know or recognize a few words, but you know what, that's perfectly okay. It helps me practice sounding out each letter to figure out what word it is. I won't know every word a person fingerspells to me, so this is wonderful practice. I like how I can change the level of difficulty as well as choose a category of words I want to practice. There are ads, but not an overwhelming amount even with it set at "more ads." It's perfect, thank you!
