There is no app available at the Google Play Store or the App Store, but you can add an icon to your home screen to get
the same full-screen, native-app experience. Here's how:
Decks (for memorizing) and/or tests will be created by your school faculty and be assigned to you.
Taking tests should be self-explanatory.
The rest of this section describes how to get started memorizing decks of cards.
Select a deck you want to memorize.
Cards will first appear as New Cards. Memorize some.
From the next day, cards you have memorized will appear as Cards Due, scheduled at optimized intervals. Review them, and bring the Cards Due count to 0 every day.
Repetition and active recall are key to memorizing. Here are some additional tips:
To avoid being overloaded with cards to be reviewed, prioritize reviewing "Cards Due" and memorize more "New Cards" only when you think you can handle reviewing more cards.
Use the notification feature to receive notifications when you have cards due for review.
To handwrite your answers, use a smartphone or a tablet device.
Yes, on a Mac or PC, you can import cards using a CSV or TSV file.
Choose a deck you want to import to and show the list of cards.
Press the Upload from file button and select columns for the front and back of the card.
You can always download cards you have created from the card list screen and edit them with Excel or your favorite editor.
When re-importing, specify the card ID column so that the cards get replaced instead of being newly created.
A link template is a URL template you can set on a deck to define links.
Let's say you want to do an image search when you click on a link.
Normally you would need to write each link as folllows (example for word "platypus" with Google image search):
With this approach, you would not only need to enter the URL for every card but also edit it in every single card if you for example want to change the search site.
Link templates allow you to set the link target in one location for all cards in deck as follows:
When creating cards, create links without URLs (example for word "platypus")
[platypus]()
Set the deck's link template to a URL using placeholder {link_text} (example for Google image search)
Link templates are applied to all links that have no target URLs,
and the placeholder {link_text} is replaced with the actual link text.
You're free to change these link templates whenever and however you want to set the target URL of all empty links.
Content Editing (for both flashcards and tests)
(This section applies only to teachers and admins)
This section applies to all of the following content
Content is created in a lightweight markup language called Markdown (more specifically,
CommonMark ).
Standard text is displayed as-is, so get started by using just the ones you need.
The most frequently used markups are listed below. Please refer to the link above for full documentation.
Images can be uploaded from the content editing screens. You will see an upload button whereever image uploads are permitted. When you select an image for upload, unnecessarily large images will be automatically reduced to an appropriate size, and then be uploaded, with appropriate markup being added to the target content area.
Uploaded images live solely under the target object (such as cards) to which they are added; they cannot be referenced from anywhere else, and they are deleted when the containing object is deleted. Images are deleted also when they are no longer referenced.
Each card has a proficiency level which starts at 0.
This level is raised each time you remember the card correctly and lowered each time it's forgotten.
The chart shows the number of cards (Y-axis) at each proficiency level (X-axis) and gives you a quick overview of how well you have your cards memorized.
When questions are answered with the Easy! button (and confirmed to be correct),
the proficiency level is moved up 2 levels instead of 1.
Use this button if you know a card very well and want to push back the next review date more than it is normally pushed back.
To disable a card you already know or don't want to memorize, take one of the following two actions:
While memorizing or reviewing cards, press the button when the card is displayed
In the card list screen, press the button below the card you want to disable
A disabled card can be enabled again by pressing the button in the card list screen。
Warning: Disabled cards will never appear for review. If you know a card well but think you may forget it in the future, you can keep extending the review interval instead of disabling the card completely by answering with the "Easy!" button.
Yes! You can receive notifications on the Chrome browser on a Mac, Windows, or an Android device.
From the top right menu, select Settings and set the notification settings for cards due.
You will then start receiving notifications on that device at the time set, on days when there are cards due for review.
Flags can be used in either of the following two ways.
If you have some specific cards you want to review at a later time, you can flag them and review them from the "Final review before exams" link after selecting a deck.
As a general-purpose marker, such as to mark cards you need to edit later, or to mark cards you want to look up more information about.
Flags can be freely switched on an off both while studying and from the card list page.
