Web based

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

On any computer operating system.

Off a web server or off your hard drive.

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

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.

Easy to set up

Start with your own list of words or texts. Specify the multigraphs. Click a few buttons. Copy and paste. Set up can be completed in 15 minutes. If you can copy and paste code into files you can use SynPhony.

It's already easy to implement SynPhony for new languages, and in the future it will also get a whole lot more powerful.

Unicode

SynPhony can handle any script your browser handles. That means dozens of writing systems used by thousands of languages.

Auto-detect feature for more than 20 scripts already.

Check stories

Check existing stories or compose your own sentences to see if they are suitable for each lesson. Words with letters you haven't taught are indicated with colors.

Create Puzzles

Create word search puzzles that use the vocabulary from each lesson.

Open source

Free to use.
