Ooks: Spelling & Dictation

Ooks

About this app

Ooks turns your child's weekly spelling and dictation list into smart, bite-sized practice — so words stick from the weekly test all the way to PSLE.

Just snap a photo of the spelling list. Ooks reads it and builds a study deck automatically — English words, Chinese 词语, or full dictation passages. No typing the list out by hand.

WHY OOKS WORKS
• Spaced repetition (FSRS-6): the proven method behind top study apps. Ooks schedules each word at the right moment, ramping your child to ~90% recall by test day.
• Test-date aware: tell Ooks when the test is, and it makes sure every word is fresh in time — then keeps the hard ones alive so they aren't forgotten a month later.
• Handwriting practice: your child writes each answer on screen. Ooks grades it on-device, including Chinese stroke order (笔顺).
• Read-aloud dictation: natural text-to-speech reads the word or sentence, just like a real dictation.

BUILT FOR SINGAPORE PRIMARY
• English and Chinese (华文) in one app
