Leitner flashcard system - RoboTact - 2007-01-07

I liked review approach I experienced on this site. I never actually used any flashcard system before. Now I have an idea of using Leitner-like system to memorize unfamiliar English words encountered here and there. Does anyone know of any tool supporting this system? Or maybe open-source project which can be easily adopted for this purpose? Thinking of writing one myself next weekend if nothing comes up.

if you are interested in shareware, perhaps Stackz!

Thanks, mnemosyne looks interesting. Less explicit, but there's no point in requiring it to be otherwise.

Twinkle seems to be for Palm (contains nonsense Russian words in screenshot section of their site btw), Stackz is even more complicated.

Yes, it is for Palm (well you did not specify the platform), and it does contain nonsense Russian words in the screenshot Smile I still prefer it to all else I've seen so far and thinkk it should be totally worth it to spend ~$15 on an old palm just to run it (and PADict).

BTW I have recommended Mnemosyne to one person before and he had trouble importing a Japanese wordlist from Excel there -- if anyone would care to write a short guide I am sure it would be most useful for its' future users. It does sound like good option on a PC, but I've never tried it myself.

Never used mnemosyne so I can't compare, but Memory Lifter also uses the Leitner system, and I found it to be pretty helpful when I was studying Spanish a while ago.

ProVoc is the best as far as (multimedia) flashcards go; i love it because it because you can export vocab - that means kanji too - to your ipod, and there's a database of vocabulary files that you can download. It's mac-only though
