Loona Spelling Test — Listen, Spell, Check
Spelling tests are usually read out by a teacher — which means no practice at home without a helper. This test solves that: the device does the reading, as many times as you press the button, and marking is instant and private. (The general-purpose text-to-speech tool lives on Loona Text Tools; this is a dedicated spelling test built around dictation and scoring.)
How to Use It
- Pick a list — Easy, Medium or Hard — or press "Use my own words" and paste this week's school spelling list.
- Start the test. The first word is read aloud automatically; press 🔊 any time to hear a word again.
- Type each spelling in the box next to its button. Capital letters do not matter.
- Check your spellings: correct words turn green; missed words show the right spelling. Practise the missed ones with look–cover–write–check, then retest.
How It Works
The test uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis (the same voices used by screen readers) to dictate each word at a slightly slowed rate — no recordings and no server. Marking normalises capitals and stray spaces, then compares letter-for-letter. If your browser or device has no voice available, the tool says so and a parent or teacher can read the words aloud instead; the test and marking work the same.
Frequently Asked Questions
The voice sounds different on my phone and laptop — is that normal?
Yes. Speech synthesis uses the voices installed on each device, so the speaker's accent and quality vary. The words themselves and the marking are identical everywhere.
Can I use my child's exact school spelling list?
Yes — that is what "Use my own words" is for. Paste the words one per line or separated by commas, and the test will dictate exactly that list.
Does capitalisation matter?
No. Marking ignores capital letters and extra spaces, so "Beautiful" and "beautiful" both count — the letters are what is being tested.
How should we practise the missed words?
Look–cover–write–check: look at the correct spelling, cover it, write the word from memory, then check. Three rounds of this fix most spelling patterns far better than copying the word ten times.
