Spelling bee approach to spelling?

My son has dysgraphia (and possibly mild dyslexia). However, often, he can spell a word correctly orally (think spelling bee), but WRITING the word requires not only thinking about it's spelling but also dealing with all the motor skills involved (whether writing it on paper or even typing it in which he still struggles with). Doing those two things together can trip him up.

 

Soooo, I'm wondering ... is there an app out there that, for example, dictates a word to him then LISTENS to him spell it and display the letters that he's spelling so that he can SEE the word forming in front of him? THEN asks him to write the word (if he has orally spelled it correctly). Obviously, I can do this with him myself, but as a 5th grader, I think he could handle this on his own with the right technology. Just not sure if that exists.
