   What I'm asking for is whether anyone has ported the alt.msdos.batch   
   program that quizzes you on words that you misspell - to the Android OS.

   It was written _by_ people on alt.msdos.batch in the first place.   
   There were multiple contributors - also from the Windows 10 newsgroup.   
   Mostly by Herbert Kleebauer who posted from the alt.msdos.batch ng.

   Thanks for trying to help but you may have misunderstood the question.   
   That's my fault for not being clear because the need is universal.   
      
   So it's definitely worth coming up with an answer so everyone can use it.   
      
   I'm not asking for a spell checker.   
   I'm asking for a port of the existing Windows alt.msdos.bat spell program.   
      
   On Windows, it works like this:   
   1. You misspell a word anywhere on Windows & it gets redsquiggled.   
   2. You fix that word (generally via the existing Windows spellcheckers).   
   3. You immediately copy the fixed word to your Windows clipboard.   
      
   Then... hours, days, weeks or months later:   
   4. You type Win+R spell which opens up your spell.txt text file.   
   5. That spell.txt file contains _all_ the words you habitually misspell.   
   6. You paste the newly misspelled word into that spell.txt text file.   
      
   When you have a spare moment on Windows (which you never have at home!):   
   7. You type Win+R sayit which randomly speaks a word in the spell.txt file.   
   8. The sayit.bat program gives you three chances to spell the word right.   
   9. If you spell it right, it's removed - otherwise it's added again.   
      
   The logic is you don't get any visual cues other than what you type.   
   The Windows narrator speaks the word properly - you just have to spell it.   
   The words you misspell the most are randomly presented to you the most.   
      
   The more you misspell a word - the more it randomly queries you on it.   
   The word only gets removed if you consistently spell it correctly.   
      
   The only problem is that you never have a spare moment when you're at home.   
   But you often have a spare moment when you're in a doctor's waiting room.   
      
   Lot's of spare moments, in fact.   
      
   What I'm asking for is whether anyone has ported the alt.msdos.batch   
   program that quizzes you on words that you misspell - to the Android OS.
