I can't say whether they're ultimately useful or not (or in which situations), but I personally feel like they would be somewhat redundant, especially if you're already using production cards. I would go with production cards for vocabulary, and sentence cards for recognition (which would cover a lot of the learned vocab anyway, with better context, and much more benefits in terms of really learning the language). (BTW see http://www.glowingfaceman.com/blog/sentence-mining/ for a nice article on that, and lots of other very interesting articles relating to SRS and modern advancements in language self-study techniques) Oisín--
