I took the OP as suggesting a slideshow where the program assumes that after being shown it for 5 secs eg., you rated it a 4; if you had rated it something else, you would have manually keyed it in. This would work best with a mature deck where the overwhelming majority of cards are in fact 4s. Personally, some cards take a while and some are instant for me, so it would be hard to pick a good duration & I'm not sure it would be very useful for me. But many features are rarely useful for me. -- gwern -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
