What Ondle is

Ondle makes iOS apps for learning English reading and pronunciation through the links between written letters and spoken sounds. British English Sounds is a self-study reference and practice app focused on British English. It covers 50 sounds and 137 spellings through more than 500 common words, with over 500 recordings by a native speaker with an Oxford English accent. Learners can listen to the model, record themselves, compare the recordings and consult pronunciation tips. The app uses the Clive Upton phonetic transcription scheme for native-speaker pronunciation in the Oxford Dictionary of English. Progress indicators, word search, swipe-based review and study reminders help organize practice. Its recordings are included, so it works without an internet connection. Ondle also offers British English Sounds Game, a free game for all 50 sounds with over 200 words included. It uses 20 linguistic origins to select sound pairs intended to challenge learners based on their mother tongue; additional words can be obtained through in-app purchases or by improving scores. The maker identifies Evoque Limited as the operator.
