Hi,  
Mi kids are learning English in shool and I would like to use anki to teach them.  
Now I wonder if there is a card type where they answer by typing in the answer and that answer is checked against the correct one. They have a hard time to always spot if they do a spelling error learning words.  
If there is not a premade cardtype do you know if one can create one that behaves this way?
