- Phonetic spelling errors ("preshius" > "precious", "peturs" > "pictures")

- Word boundary errors ("verynice" > "very nice")

- Skipped and repeated letters ("probley" > "probably")

- Missed vowels ("Ths is rly amzng" > "This is really amazing")

Spell Better will take this sentence:

> I throwed the dall to my cuzin and wnt imside to ahve a peace ofcake.

And correct it to:

> I threw the ball to my cousin and went inside to have a piece of cake.

And it'll do most of the corrections dynamically, as the sentence is being typed.


▶ REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

"Multiple students of mine are now requesting that I bring my iPad to class so they can use this app to complete all of their assignments. These students are generally disengaged and tend to avoid all work requiring them to write/ organize their thoughts and it is so exciting to see how much their enthusiasm increases when given supports such as SpellBetter."

"We did have a chance to try Spell Better and love it! The update came out just in time for our full day iPads in Special Education training we gave yesterday so that we were able to let others know about what a great app it is for word prediction. "

"This is brilliant for my dyslexic pupils and others who struggle to write. It's really useful for homework, too. Great communications with Nanavit [sic] have ironed out my inadequate ability with any ICT! A superb App, thank you!"
