The word choice is excellent, there are so many words in this app, its common to see new words since it has a good variety of vocabulary.
Ive been using this all day and have felt the different stages of learning:
From practicing to just recognize the letters, to saying the letters in my mind as they are shown, to spelling along with it as I see it, to being able to finish and guess the rest of the word, even to start to "feel" the word and fill in the gaps because of the shape of common suffixes "tion" "ing", etc.. All the while increasing speed but not too much. I am now able to understand words at about 3/4 of full speed on any length (Im a good persistent learner).
Thanks Bill Vicars for all you do.
The only way this app could possibly be any better is if it had pre-recorded videos of real people finger spelling at different speeds. Deaf people and others often abbreviate since they spell so fast they are shaping the next letter before theyre even finished with the letter they are on!
Anyways, this app is good. I dont even use the typing feature since its too slow typing it in, I just use the show answer feature because usually you know when youre right, its faster that way, you can get in more words, and the more time your brain spends practicing reception, the more progress youll see. I am persistently patient.
