picture, and the word is pronounced for the student to decide if the picture matches the word

according to the audio cue. It also has a writing section where the learner listens to the word 
and he or she has to write it down. There is also a pronunciation section where the students 
have to produce orally the word for the picture cue. The voice recognition feature displays the 
word the user utters and then marks it right or wrong. Finally, it has two multiple choice tests 
sections in which the students have to select the correct word based on the picture cue and 
vice versa. The app had a mean score of 2.88 out of 4.
