NAME

6       anki - flexible, intelligent flashcard program
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Anki  is  a  program designed to help you remember facts (such as words
10       and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly  and  efficiently
11       as  possible.   To  do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact,
12       and uses that information to optimally schedule review  times.  With  a
13       minimal  amount of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of mate‐
14       rial you remember, making study more productive, and more fun.
15
16       Anki is based on a theory called spaced repetition. In simple terms, it
17       means  that  each time you review some material, you should wait longer
18       than last time before reviewing it again. This maximizes the time spent
19       studying  difficult  material  and  minimizes  the time spent reviewing
20       things you already know. The concept is simple, but the  vast  majority
21       of  memory  trainers  and flashcard programs out there either avoid the
22       concept all together, or implement inflexible  and  suboptimal  methods
23       that were originally designed for pen and paper.
