A spelling test is only as good as the voice reading the words — and a quiet, robotic, American‑accented voice is no use to a British child learning British spellings. StudYear fixes exactly that: it reads each word aloud in a clear, loud British voice you can choose and test, then marks you instantly.
The USP: a voice that is actually clear — and yours to pick
- British by default, loud and clear. The online voice is a natural British accent, boosted so it is easy to hear even where a device's built‑in voice is too quiet.
- Choose your voice and test it. A small voice picker lets the learner select the British voice they like best and play a sample before starting.
- Honest about volume. If your device falls back to its own quieter voice, StudYear tells you plainly and shows how to get the loud online one — no silent, unusable test.
A real test of spelling, not of copy‑paste
Paste and autocorrect are switched off, so the answer is genuinely the child's. Each word can be heard again or used in a sentence for context, and the test is pitched to the learner's level — from commonly misspelled words to the curriculum spellings for their year, or words from any topic you choose.
Marked instantly, with the tricky ones saved
Every test marks on the spot and keeps the words you missed, so they come back for practice until they are mastered and your score climbs. A little every day — exactly what spelling rewards.
Why does the British accent matter?
Because pronunciation shapes spelling. Words a British child must spell to a British standard should be read the way they will hear them in class — so the sound and the spelling line up.
What if there's no internet?
The test still works using your device's built‑in voice. It may be quieter, and StudYear will say so and suggest turning the volume up or picking the online British voice once you're back online.
