There has been a fair amount of work going on behind the scenes at the Xander office. New apps and new language translations coming. We are very proud to have been approached by the WOW Programme in partnership with the University of Stellenbosch to develop and launch a suite of Afrikaans spelling apps to assist learners who participate in the annual WOW National Spelling Bee.
We spent hours recording with some of the best spellers in their grade in South Africa to make sure we offer the best quality sound and voice production while also offering the best user experience, fun word games and accurate reporting.
Here is a quick look at these new apps.
