Tally Talmud  and the Wheel of Nekudos

Hi, my name is Tally! I’m a talking Talmud AND a software engineer.

I just joined TorahGames to help make this wonderful educational website even better!

I’m starting a blog to keep you all updated on our progress here at TorahGames.

Today I’m releasing a handy tool for anyone practicing pronouncing their Hebrew letters:

The Wheel Of Nekudos. v1.3 (Updates Log)

With the Wheel of Nekudos, you tap spin to randomly generate a Hebrew letter and Nekudah.
You can click the speaker buttons to hear the letters, nekudos and combined!

The Buttons on the Left say their names, the ones on the right side make their sounds!

You can scroll around and learn a lot with just these buttons.

You can also quiz yourself!

Try to say it out loud before clicking the sound buttons.

Did you say it right?
Click the appropriate symbol to score yourself:

Teachers, you can use this tool to break your class into up to 10 teams and have them compete! The wheel will keep score for you!

Want to spin just one wheel?
Just tap the appropriate arrow to shuffle the letters or nekudos! Have fun practicing!

Want to practice a specific combination? Just grab the wheels and rotate them yourself!

If you’d like to restart the scoring or adjust the settings hit the settings wheel.

Normally the game has fancy effects every time you spin the wheel. The wheel dramatically slows to a halt as gravity overtakes it, every correct answer garners a round of applause and confetti raining from the ceiling!
It’s almost like a gameshow!
But if that’s slowing things down too much try Turbo mode!

Just click the button to toggle between normal and turbo.

Turbo mode speeds the tool up significantly, but if you want to push yourself to go even faster, try the timer! It will only show up in turbo mode.

Hit the plus and minus to adjust the number of seconds players have to answer the question. By default it’s set to ∞ you’ve got all the time in the world 🙂

Want even more excitement? Try Tally Mode!

Call out a Letter and Nekudo and then give the wheel a spin!
The wheel spins forever.
Challenge players to stop the wheel with just a tap over the Letter and Nekudo you called.
You can adjust how fast the wheel spins, and set a time limit.

Also, If you’re using a mouse you can right click over any button to get a reminder of what it does.

Well, that’s it for today. How do you like it?
Let me know in the comments!
Till next time~
