SpellCamp

Just shipped a custom virtual keyboard for student spelling practice on mobile devices.. Makes SpellCamp a viable practice environment for students on mobile devices by eliminating the built-in keyboard auto-suggestions.

🎯 Auto Suggest now keeps you control and is more transparent! Before adding a auto-suggest word, you'll see: - The suggested word - WHY it was chosen for your child - Then, just add it or cancel See more recent updates at spellcamp.com/updates

📱✨ Some updates at SpellCamp! Parents can now: - Actually use the dashboard on their phones (yes, we fixed that broken menu!) - Set session word limits to help prevent overwhelming students. Check out all the improvements: spellcamp.com/updates

🔊 NEW: Customizable Audio Auto-Play Settings! Tailor spelling practice for each student's learning style: • Word only (default) • Word → sentence • Sentence → word • Word → sentence → word Try it free: spellcamp.com #Homeschool #EdTech

Let me know if this is helpful or not or if more configuration is needed.

Will default to 10, user adjustable to 50. This should help combat cases when a user imports several hundred words at once and seeing them all due immediately.

Pushing an update to our review algorithm to cap the count of brand new words we introduce to a student per day. When a student logs in, they will need to review all previously reviewed words that are due again + up to the daily limit of brand new words.

Continuing to ship various usability improvements, including keyboard shortcuts, more at-a-glance historical stats, and spelling review session summaries.

I have upgraded our personalized spelling feedback generation to use OpenAI's o3-mini model. I was not happy with some of the feedback the older models were generating. While often helpful, sometimes was not, or even wrong. The o1 model was good too, but too expensive.
