Spelvo
Spelvo turns Malaysian school spelling lists in Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Chinese into short daily practice for children.
What Spelvo is
Spelvo turns Malaysian school spelling lists in Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Chinese into short daily practice for children. A child or parent can photograph handwritten or printed words, and OCR converts the list into digital text that can also be translated among those three languages. Practice includes typed spelling, flashcard review, audio playback, and retries for missed words. Spelvo says its Google text-to-speech pronunciation covers all three languages. Vo the Bee reads photos of handwritten answers and marks each word; the site says this takes under 10 seconds. Users can share lists and join school, tuition, or invite-only groups with leaderboards. Spelvo accepts KSSR Standard 1–6 lists and lists from other Malaysian school streams, including international schools. The service is available on Android and the web, but has no iOS version. Individual classroom teachers and tuition tutors can request a free account with unlimited OCR and student invite links that grant a six-month Guest Pass; onboarding is manual, and centre owners are not eligible. The Free plan is free and includes 3 lifetime snaps and 1 child profile.
