What came to my mind, reading that was a kind of slideshow mode but with a twist that if you do recall the card, you press spacebar. If you don't, the timeout passes and the card gets marked with a '0'.
The time it took for spacebar to be pressed would be used to grade the card. The less time, the better the grade. I think this would be effective in helping people avoid using more time than necessary on cards they can't remember. Other benefits that I can see would be psychological. The pace would be fast enough that you aren't left with time to fret on not remembering a card. Would also remove the need to think about what to grade a card. - Joel On Mon, 2010-09-13 at 19:22 +0200, Peter Bienstman wrote: > > I think a good feature to add is a slideshow mode, where you don't > > have to press any buttons, the cards will just show the answers by > > themselves and move on to the next card automatically.
