SynPhony uses standard web technology that runs in any modern browser.

Off a web server or off your hard drive.

Unicode

SynPhony can handle any script your browser handles (except for the Chinese writing system).

That means over 30 living scripts used by thousands of languages.

Built-in resources for 18 scripts already.

Easy to use

It's a web page. You already know how to use one. Plus, it's got built-in help.

Choose the letters and the web page finds the words that contain only the letters you've selected.

Print the page or copy the words to use any way you want.

Open source

Free to use. Literacy tools for Planet Earth.

Easy to set up

Start with your own list of words. Specify the multigraphs. Click a few buttons. Copy and paste. Can be completed in one hour.

If you can copy and paste code into files you can create your own SynPhony versions.

It's already easy to implement SynPhony into new languages, and in the future getting started will become even easier and faster while getting a whole lot more powerful.

Dynamic and Flexible

Control word lists by syllable length. Sort randomly. See the cumulative word list at any time.

Cover all spelling patterns systematically, explicitly, sequentially and cumulatively.

Follow an existing curriculum sequence or easily create your own.

Match reading material dynamically to the reading (dis-)ability of any student.
