Maybe the Windows newsgroup spelling app has been ported to Android?
No way am I playing useless games or reading teeeeeeny tiny print.
And I'm not about to watch my phone using it as a tiny YouTube TV.
Nor do I have enough people to text & call to keep me busy enough.
How about Usenet?
When I'm out killing time I often read/post from my phone
as I'm doing now. Great time killer...
Does a port of this Herbert Kleebauer Windows app yet exist for Android?
I see you're using Tbird. It has a built in spell checker. I use it often.
Unfortunately this Android newsreader I'm using doesn't so it let's me hang
out.
Butt sorrry i don't hav a clu abut ur reel queery...
alt.msdos.batch
Not a related newsgroup to your inquiry. It was removed in my reply.

I take it the spell checker on the Android phone is not to your liking.
Do you know of an ebook reader that will SPEAK the ebooks for me?
Maybe from a PDF or a Mobi or an EPUB file?
Speaking an ebook would be useful as I wouldn't need to see anything.
I have a web link to http://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android
Google Groups seems to have a bad reputation on Usenet. And personally I prefer to use a more anonymous server anyway. (I use the paid version of
the PhoNews Usenet newsreader on my phone.)
but the text is really too small to make reading Usenet news fun.
My phone has a 6.4" screen so my text is small too. But I have a good
set of trifocals and fortunately have no problem with the text.
Sometimes I organize my photo album - but how many times can you do
that?
I also read the regular news as a time killer. And sometimes my ebooks.
It's not the spell checker. It's a spell tester.
Ah. Had never heard of that before.
You're going to have your phone speaking spelling words to you while
you're waiting in your doctor's office??
4. Each time you get a chance to type in the correct spelling (or
not).
So then you do have to see the phone's keyboard...
If you type the correct spelling within three attempts, it's
removed. If you don't - it's added back (so the worst offenders get
repeated).
Think I'll just stick to a spell checker... :-\
This already exists on Windows. The question is whether it's ported
to Android.
Good luck on finding it.

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.

Afaik, No.
MSdos is decades old technology and code.
I recall a Dos Emulator for Android for gaming(and years ago), but
doubtful it would have any ability or potential usefulness for some
newsgroup user created program likely coded over 8 yrs ago(Win10 release era).

Maybe port to Linux & then run a native Linux on an unrooted Android?
[https://andronix.app/]
The Andronix description says
"Run full-fledged Linux Distros right on your Android device
without rooting."
"Run distributions like Ubuntu, Manjaro, Kali and a lot more with
all major desktop environments."

First you'd need to get someone (I guess he should ask HK) to change his assembler to output ARM code, and change the source program to scrape words from an android GUI, rather than use Windows API. Bit of a big ask, IME.

Oh, I just re-read how the app works - it calls Windows Narrator to say
the word; you'd need an equivalent linux/android module.
