9 Positive User Reviews for Spell&Speak
Great in certain ways but also not too great
So what I mean by my title is that some of the words are intelligble, but you can understand words like Earth, Angel, Word, Touch, etc. But certain words like To, Pull, Tool, can be very intelligible.
Also I see this app as useful for other than the nostgia people wish to have but also for some of the other things at hand.
Perfect! Just like in third grade...
Love the clearer annunciation present in this version.Nails it! Well done:)
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.
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.
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
OK, but yes, frustrating
The original had a "Say It" function that would read out ten words that you had to spell afterwards -- this doesn't seem to work the same. Also the original Spell A used simpler words. This does not seem to differentiate between Spell A-D. Ah well.. it's entertaining to some degree but makes me want to go out an shell on a used-yet-functional version of the real thing.
My brother
My brother uses the Speak & Read to communicate with the
family. He had a stroke when he was one year old. Is there a way you could create the Speak & Read for the iPad? I know his original one is going to stop working and I don’t want him to be without it. Please consider creating an app. Thank you.

Too small
This is the same voice used in many electronic music tracks in the 80'a and 90's. It would have been nice to add a feature not found in the original, such as speaking words you type into it. Menu options are too small to read clearly.
It doesn’t work.
I feel ripped off it is a small picture of original. Unable to zoom in or see the buttons and it doesn’t work properly. Save your money but the real thing or try another app
