Change the Input Method for Vocabulary Quizzes

Website

When you're taking a vocabulary quiz on the SpanishDictionary.com website, you can choose between three quiz formats: multiple choice, writing, and speaking. To switch quiz formats, start a quiz and click on the gear in the upper-left corner of your screen to open "Settings." Then, click on the blue text to the right of where it says "Quiz Format" to choose the type of quiz format you'd like to use.

Note: On the SpanishDictionary.com website, "Speaking" is currently only available to Premium subscribers.

iOS App

If you use our iOS app, you can also choose between three quiz formats: multiple choice, writing, and speaking. To change the quiz format, start a quiz and then tap on the gear icon in the top right corner of the quiz. A menu will appear where you can select from writing, multiple choice, or speaking. Tap on the option you want and close the menu to return to the quiz.


Android App

When you're taking a vocabulary quiz using the SpanishDictionary.com Android app, you have the option to choose between typing your answers and using multiple choice. If the quiz is currently asking you to type your answers, you can click on the little tile icon in the top right corner of the page (next to the audio icon) to switch to multiple choice.

If you're seeing multiple choice questions, you can switch to typing by clicking the "Aa" symbol in the top right corner.

Please note that on our website and in the Android app, the input-method setting is saved with a cookie. If you use a cookie-blocking extension or a browser setting that blocks cookies, the quizzes may reset to the default of multiple choice every time you return to SpanishDictionary.com.
