BeeTraining: Spelling Bee

BeeTraining helps students prepare for a spelling bee by practicing a little each day.

It's designed for children, teenagers, and the accompanying adult.

WORDS FOR YOUR OWN BEGINNING BEE

Most apps come with a fixed dictionary. BeeTraining includes 150 ready-to-use words, with their definitions and example sentences, but also allows you to upload the exact spelling list for the bee the student will be competing in.

It's imported from a CSV file and is available offline.

WORKS OFFLINE

The app doesn't connect to the internet. You can practice in the car, in a waiting room, or anywhere without a signal, without using data.

DOESN'T ASK FOR OR SEND ANY DATA

BeeTraining doesn't request any system permissions. There's no registration, no account, and no email address. It doesn't include advertising or measurement tools.

All information is stored only on the phone. It is not sent to any server because the application is technically incapable of doing so.

ADAPTIVE PRACTICE

Each word has a score that increases for correct answers and decreases for incorrect ones. The application decides what to practice based on this score, the number of days since the last practice session, and recent errors.

Words that are already mastered appear less frequently. Difficult words appear more often. A missed word reappears later in the same session.

FOUR MODES

Discovery introduces new words for the first time, along with their pronunciation and meaning.

Training is for daily practice, using the complete list or filtered by category or difficulty.

Needs Reinforcement gathers the most challenging words. In this mode, incorrect answers do not lower the score, allowing the student to work on them without losing ground.

Competition Simulation replicates the competition conditions and saves the record of words achieved.

SPOKEN PRONUNCIATION

Each word is read aloud, just like in a real quiz. You can also listen to its definition and an example sentence. The voice and speed are adjustable in the settings.

PROGRESS TRACKING

The progress screen shows how many words are being discovered, learned, reviewed, and mastered; the minutes practiced each day; the number of consecutive days; and details for each word, including correct and incorrect answers.

It also highlights words with a success rate too low for practice alone, indicating which ones require adult support.

BACKUPS

The app can save a copy of the data to a user-selected folder once a day, keeping the last three backups.

A backup allows you to continue on another phone or recover your progress if your device is lost. The file remains under the user's control.

HELP WITH YOUR WORD LIST
