Have a go at Spelling Bee from times online

Very addictive. Audio required, or a headset.

Very annoying - you can't tell what word they are asking you to spell when they are short words - bloody thing asked me to spell 'bell' then told me it was spelled 'belt'. No stupid robot insect thing, you learn to pronounce your 'T' correctly and I'll spell the word!

Great!

Best on 'Challenge - Hard', where it's speed as well as correct spellings which count.

RTFM!

If it's a word which sounds like others, you click the 'Word Help' button.

It is good but they said specialise and it sounded like specialised..... they need to work on their pronounciation.

[Blukoo]

All correct on easy.
10 out of 15 on medium.
2 out of 15 on hard.

58 words spelled correctly (692 points) got that far by using the word help and repeat functions so as not to make simple mistakes eg yoke vs yolk

I spelt 'kernel' wrong. It was 'colonel'....

Two different words, same pronunciation. Rubbish!

[V8mate]

Another one who can't read basic instructions

[Funk]

The pronunciation is unclear on some of the voices. I also dislike the way the voices change as they're also at different volumes and with slightly different accents.

That said, I still pissed all over it.

15/15 Easy
14/15 Medium

1) Only women and gayers read manuals, which are you?

2) If I didn't bother reading the manual before firing an FIM-92B missile, I'm certainly not reading it on a kids spelling test!

Supposedly the word 'Shah' is spelt 'sharp'.
Speak properly you robot cun.

You need to do the Challenge rounds, which test your speed as well as spelling accuracy.

You build point scores over multiple rounds.

Out of interest i put my reasonable spelling down to reading like a champ up until the age of 13. Hardly read much since then though.

I assume this is the same for most of us?

That was with the Challenge rounds. I got bored after a few rounds and gave up.

To be fair it wasn't that easy. I got some tricky words which i was sure i spelt wrong - was pleasantly surprised.
