What's New

Wordlists can now be shared with other users (see the Work With Wordlists screen in the app.)

App Description

The "lite" version of our large-print, early academic program for beginning to advanced letter users using switch-assisted input. It uses an errorless learning method. Scan-A-Word works on identification, spelling, & word recognition (for reading).

Scaffolding (as much help as needed but as little as possible) is embedded so as to help those with significant cognitive challenges.

The full version allows you to easily enter lists of spelling words/phrases for the learner to practice and be tested on. WordLists consisting of hundreds of words/sounds/pictures are available from the developer's website at no charge.

Scan-A-Word has built-in scanning capabilities, as well as special feedback for blind learners.
