✏️ Example Sentences
In HearSpell, your child hears each sentence read aloud, then types the missing word.
🎧 How It Works
Your child uses HearSpell independently — no parent needed.
🎧
Hear it
Your child listens to a word used in a real sentence. This is what makes HearSpell different: audio-first, not flashcard-first.
⌨️
Spell it
They type the spelling on a kid-friendly keyboard that blocks autocomplete (no cheating!).
⭐
Master it
Spaced repetition tracks every word. Tricky words come back more often. Mastered words fade out.
🛡️ Built for Trust
HearSpell has no ads, no in-app purchases nagging your child, and no data collection. Everything runs in the browser — there are no accounts, no passwords, and nothing to sign up for. Your child's progress stays on their device. You can hand your phone to your kid and walk away.
