Mnemosyne doesn't randomize it's repetitions?
I'm a supermemo user, but I was going to try mnemosyne for my GMAT words list. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

To my knowledge, it does. I've been using the program for a while, and I'd certainly recommend it. It's less buggy than Anki and Supermemo, and has a much nicer interface. It's slightly lacking in features, but would still be my program of choice and has all the features most people would need. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's possible with Anki, although I wouldn't recommend it. It's most likely to confuse you when doing it. Also, Anki DOES radomize the words/sentences (I only use whole sentences), according to the queue based on the number you gave it. Personally I also use the online feature with my phone, as I travel 1.5 hour a day by train. In my opinion SRS is the best that happened to me. I wouldn't be able to speak as fluent as I can now if I didn't use SRS. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I can see the point of only having two options - either you know the words or you don't. However, I also think that a 0-4 rating has its merits, where you for Chinese and Japanese (and a few other languages) can use it in quite interesting ways. I don't pick "4" for a native->target word where I can't write the character, I may rate it as a "3" if my idea of the character is only slightly off or if I've chosen a synonyme (cf. "about right"), "2" if I know how to pronounce the word but nothing more, "1" if a tone is somewhat off (that happens often in two- or three syllable words), and of course "0" if I am nowhere close to the correct translation. And vice versa, from target to native. By the way, I never suspend a card. Just a few thoughts. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes it is a SRS since it is using the Leitner System to determine the repetition intervals. It is just another style of "algorithm". Rather than you entering how well you have learned the word each time the system determines how well you have learned it over multiple repetitions. "Correct correct" will be repeated less than "correct incorrect correct" which in turn will be repeated less than "incorrect incorrect incorrect". :) It is really matter of personal preference. You might want to have control each time of the "how well do I know this" metric (mnemosyne-style). Or you can stick to a yes/no response and let the system sort it out for you over time. I once saw a program that was in-between. It didn't have a 1-5 it had a "did you know the answer?" [yes] [no] [kind of] set of responses. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The last few times I used it, cards with the same rating were shown to me in the order in which I had entered the cards in. I suppose it could've just been a coincidence, but then I found this: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2035226&for um_id=537135 Not exactly the same problem I was having (this guy has his cards going in alphabetical order), but similar. Again, I could be wrong. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

great site, although there's no spaced repetition I believe Edited by gg_ashwood on 16 May 2008 at 11:59am 1 person has voted this message useful |
