Strange!  I did capital “S”  and no space in Spellgate on my iPad and was able to find it.  Tried the same thing on my iPhone and it did not appear.  Hmm?  I’ll let the computer science group know there is an issue and see if they have any suggestions.

That is interesting. I just tried again and nothing showed up.

I was very excited to read the post about this spelling app. However, when doing a search in the app store, it does not come up. Has anybody else tried to find it? It sounds great.

  HI Everyone,
  Three University of North Carolina computer science students created a beginning spelling game app that is totally accessible! Spellgate, a free app, is now in the app store. Zoom and VO work well with the game. They also added an option in settings so that when you use the Refreshable Braille Device (RBD), you can turn off the picture labeling if desired so that the RBD does not spell out the picture label. (Spelling out the picture label provides the answer!) You can also mute VO and the student will have to rely on reading the RBD letters.

  The students will continue to work on the game next semester, so please provide your input! They plan to do some fine tuning and hope to add letter recognition (matching letters) and a way for teachers to add their own words.

  In the app store, you can simply search for Spellgate. 

  Please share Spellgate with others!
