Ordveien is a free Chrome add-on designed to assist students with their phonological writing development in Google Docs. The tool encourages learners to connect sounds with letters, focusing on exploration rather than orthographic accuracy. Users are advised to disable spell check in Google Docs to allow for sound-based writing attempts without being flagged as incorrect. The add-on includes three main features: sound recording, an interactive alphabet chart, and letter sounds triggered by keystrokes, all aimed at strengthening the link between sounds and letters.

The sound recording feature allows students or teachers to pronounce words and listen to them at a slower pace to identify sounds. The interactive alphabet chart aids in correlating letters with their corresponding sounds. Additionally, the letter sound feature reinforces this connection through keystrokes. Importantly, Ordveien operates locally within the user's browser, ensuring no personal data is processed or shared with third parties, making it a secure option for educational environments.
