I've tried to import into Pocket Supermemo (there're 2 options - xml and QA), and it didn't work :( Was anyone successful with this function?

Did it not work because of a problem in the software? It seems pointless me putting Supermemo on a PDA, as inputting all of the sentences manually will waste a serious amount of time. Thanks 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The import went fine, without any error messages, but when I looked at the imported file or opened it again - it was empty. I tried different xml files and the result was the same. As for SM on PDA, I'm not doing big sentences, just words, phrases and occasional sentence excerpts. However, for long sentences it's also quite good - in my pda there's a cell-phone-like keyboard, so it's easy ty type with thumbs, the keyboard response is pretty quick. "Me parece que has perdido huicio" took me ~5-8 seconds to type. What language are you learning? Your post about inputting sentences reminded me of 10,000 sentence method - are you using it? :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Lindley, yes I'm using the 10,000 sentence method for Italian. The problem with manually inputting all the sentences, is that there are not any accents on my keys. So I do not get an accurate sentence. I already have tons of sentences I could import from my current laptop, but if they won't appear, I see no point in purchasing Supermemo for it, as my goal is to save time. Instead, I may buy a Notebook laptop, and use that on my travels.

I put huge amounts of data into my pda supermemo. Either I use the querty keyboard I bought for my PDA or more usually I use notepad to import the data that is in my PC. Yes I've had problems importing before and ALL the time it's been my fault make sure your Q: and A: tags are perfect and that there's only one space between each question and answer.
I will never use supermemo or that type of software on a pc again. My PDA gives me complete freedom. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Can you give me an example of QA file? I don't know where to look for guidelines on how to make them :( 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So, notepad with the Q/A option is how you do it? My apologies for being dumb. Thanks 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am using Anki (from www.anki.com). I did this before I got my Windows Mobile phone, and Anki is meant for PalmOS phones and PDAs. So I got an emulator (Styletap.com) and made it work. The software is fairly simple (it doesn't repeat cards you get wrong more often) but at least it shuffles them and I can use special letters and accents. Main advantage: using a desktop computer to enter the words that are to be learnt. This way I entered the complete Teach Yourself Croatian into the system and used it througout my course.
However, I'd be happy to use more advanced software which keeps track of errors and repeats more difficult words more often, as long as I can enter the data on a normal desktop PC. 1 person has voted this message useful |
