'''''Spell Up''''' was a WebGL HTML5 web game and a Chrome Experiment that utilised Google Speech Recognition that was made by Google in 2014. The game was available in Desktop and Mobile versions of Google Chrome. It used Google account to save progress. In the game, the word was dictated and the player needed to spell that word letter-by-letter using their microphone or use a keyboard if microphone was unavailable. If the word was spelled correctly, it was added to a "tower" on the screen and the player would earn some coins. If one letter of the word was spelled wrong, it destroyed the "tower". The player could use hints: dictionary that telled what the dictated word means, alphabet letters spelling, Google translated version of the word or paid powerups that required coins.<ref>[https://experiments.withgoogle.com/spell-up ''Spell Up'' page on Chrome Experiments.] Retrieved 03 Feb '22</ref><ref>[https://blog.google/products/chrome/speak-and-learn-with-spell-up-our/ Google Blog page about ''Spell Up''.] Retrieved 03 Feb '22</ref> | |||
