Spelling check

Nikki Hayes 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 0

I'd like to promote this website to teachers and students at my institute but as they are all English teachers, the first thing they would notice is a spelling mistake.


I am referring to the page where new lists are created ("Let's get started by selecting wether you want to upload a PDF, Word, or Text file, or paste a list of words. Click the appropriate choice below.").


Could you please change the spelling of the word "wether" (correct = "whether")?


Thank you and congratulations on what seems to be a really useful tool!


...BTW, "wether" is a legitimate word (although not in common use) but this word has a meaning that you will probably NOT want to have associated with your website :-) ...

Some feedback/improvements ideas

Pete C 8 years ago 0

What a wonderful tool. Thank you.


A few suggestions.


1. It would be cool as an ESL student to have the word explanation in different languages.

2. Have a quick global option to cut out the main common words such as "and", "if", "but" etc ...

3. Keep the edit fuction (the pen/delete) to the far left and next to the vocabulary word because sometimes you want efficiency and you don't want to look far left and far right.

Text to speech capability for vision and reading impaired.

I work with students who have reading difficulties, it would be great if you could make it more accessible by enabling words and text to be spoken. Thanks Judith

Smarter Engine needed

James Barrett 8 years ago updated by Ahan Malhotra (Founder) 8 years ago 1

Nice Idea, but the search engine, or whatever it is needs to be a little bit smarter. It defined the city "NEW YORK" as 2 separate words. something new, and a city in Pennsylvania. Also isn't there a way to drop words like a, the, I? The Engine tried to define ever word. instead of vital words like advertised. This is Useless for my ESL/ EFL students. One needs to know the language before it can be used. Not use it to assist in learning what words mean for the 1st time
