About us

We are a diverse team of software developers, teachers and business professionals united by a shared mission: to help children master spelling independently and at their own pace. Spell Write™ is the world’s first handwriting-recognition spelling app, making learning to spell interactive, intuitive, and accessible for children everywhere.

In today’s tech-centric world, children rely on autocorrect and spell-check tools, which can hinder the development of fundamental spelling skills. These digital conveniences can obscure the hands-on learning experience leading to gaps in spelling proficiency.

Spell Write™ tackles this challenge by reintroducing handwriting as a central element of spelling practice. Our app moves students away from passive typing and autocorrect dependence, promoting active learning and deeper engagement.

By integrating handwriting with real-time feedback, Spell Write™ ensures that students get the vital practice needed to master spelling. This foundational skill supports their academic success and builds the confidence necessary to thrive at school and in their future careers.

We believe in the power of handwriting to enhance creativity and learning. By combining innovative technology with proven educational methods, we’re paving the way for a more engaging and effective approach to spelling education. Whether students are in the classroom or at home, Spell Write™ encourages independent learning and empowers them to build strong spelling habits at their own pace.

We understand that access to quality educational tools is essential. That’s why the core functionality of Spell Write™ is free. Our free features ensure that students can start practicing and improving their spelling immediately, with no barriers to entry. For users who want to unlock additional tools and resources, we offer premium features at an affordable cost.

We’re hard at work developing an Android version of Spell Write™, and we aim to release it as soon as possible to reach even more learners worldwide. Our goal is to make Spell Write™ a trusted and valuable tool for families, schools, and students everywhere.

Spell Write™ goes beyond traditional spelling apps by incorporating handwriting recognition technology that mirrors the natural way children learn. Instead of typing, students use their own handwriting to practice words, fostering a deeper connection to language and improving retention. This innovative approach makes learning feel less like a chore and more like an achievement, inspiring confidence and growth.

Research has shown that handwriting engages the brain differently compared to typing. Writing by hand helps activate areas of the brain involved in memory, motor control, and learning. Studies suggest that the process of forming letters by hand improves retention, as it involves more cognitive effort and attention than typing. The act of writing allows for better encoding of information, making it easier to recall and apply later. This is why handwriting is often considered more effective for learning and memory retention.

Poor spelling can diminish a student’s confidence well into adulthood, making them hesitant to share ideas or participate in group activities, such as brainstorming sessions, where they need to write in front of classmates - or later, colleagues. This lack of confidence can stall career growth and limit professional opportunities.

In contrast, strong spelling skills foster self-assurance, enabling individuals to communicate effectively and embrace new challenges. By developing spelling proficiency early, students gain the confidence to excel academically and succeed professionally. Spell Write™ supports this by offering a natural, interactive, and effective approach to spelling practice with handwriting at its core.

Through our Write Start initiative, we’re committed to giving back by supporting under-resourced schools around the world. Education should be inclusive, and we strive to make our tools accessible to those who need them most. By partnering with schools and educators, we aim to bridge gaps in resources and create opportunities for every child to succeed.

As we continue to innovate and expand, we invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or student, Spell Write™ is here to support your learning goals. Together, we can make a lasting impact on education and empower the next generation of confident spellers and lifelong learners.
