LOUD BEE

Support

Something not working, a word that seems wrong, or an idea for Loud Bee? Email support@loudbee.app. Tell us which word set and word, if it’s about one, and what your device shows.

Profiles

• Loud Bee opens with Who’s practicing? Tap a profile to practice, or tap Add a profile to give someone their own name and color. Profiles stay on the device.
• To change who’s practicing, tap Switch profile. Loud Bee stops reading and keeps the spelling being typed.
• Every profile shares the same word sets. Results, missed words, and progress belong to each profile.

Adding a word set

• Open Word Lists and tap Scan QR code. Loud Bee asks to use the camera the first time. Point it at the word set’s QR code.
• Loud Bee downloads the set, checks it, and saves every recording it lists. A set is ready to practice once its sounds are saved.
• Camera turned off: the scan screen offers Open Settings, where you can turn camera access back on.
• A few sounds still need saving: tap Try again. Loud Bee downloads only the sounds that are left, and keeps everything it has already saved.
• This code doesn’t contain a word-set link: the QR code holds something other than a word set’s web address. Ask whoever shared it for the right code.
• Scanning the code of a set you already have brings in its newest version. The date it was added and everyone’s results stay as they were.

Sound and voices

• No sound: check your device’s volume and silent mode, then tap Hear the word to listen again.
• A word is read by a different voice: words without a recording are read by your device’s built-in voice. If Loud Bee says a matching voice is needed, add that language’s voice in your device’s settings.
• Slow reads at a gentler pace. It never changes the spelling Loud Bee checks for.

Making your own word sets

A word set is a JSON file. It has a name, the ages it suits, and a list of words, each with its spelling, a definition, and a sentence. A word can have a recording of each, or null for the device’s voice to read it:

{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "id": "our-spelling-words",
  "name": "Our spelling words",
  "locale": "en-US",
  "createdByName": "Ms. Rivera",
  "minAge": 6,
  "maxAge": 9,
  "words": [
    {
      "id": "nectar",
      "word": "nectar",
      "audioURL": null,
      "definition": "A sweet liquid made by flowers.",
      "definitionURL": null,
      "sentence": "The bee collected nectar from the flower.",
      "sentenceURL": null
    }
  ]
}

Put the file, and any recordings, on a website anyone can reach at an https address. Make a QR code of the file’s address, and scan it in Word Lists. If Loud Bee can’t use a set, it says why after the scan, and nothing is added.

Privacy

Loud Bee has no accounts, ads, or tracking. Our privacy policy explains what stays on your device and what a scan downloads.
