New user several questions Context: I am trying to find a flashcard program that I like. Unfortunately none of them are quite up to my tastes but I am debating whether to program my own, (which would take lots of time) or use one that already exists. If I were to use one that exists though I think I would lean on Mnemosyne.
Question one: As a test I imported 5 blank flashcards and did not review them I simply chose '2' rating for each one. My question is how come mnemosyne sets some cards to be reviewed 'tomorrow', and other cards to be reviewed in 'two days' when they were given the same exact rating? Question two: Is there a feature that would allow me to go to the next day? One of the reasons I dislike most programs out there, is that it seems (from reading documentation) that they consider 'days' to be the factor of when the next time of review should be. That seems kind of clunky. If I go on vacation for a week I don't want to come back to a program that decided to combine all the cards from the week I missed in one session. Instead of 'days' I would rather look at each time I open the program as 'sessions' So instead of in two days, i can wait two sessions however long that may be, whether it's two hours apart of two months. Is this a feature in Mnemosyne? (Is this a feature anywhere?) Question three: If each 'day/session' i were to rate a card a '2' would I expect to see this card every two days for the rest of my life or will it add exponentially? (ex. Each comma represents a 'session': every two days: +2, +2, +2, +2, +2 vs exponential +2, +3, +4, +5) If it is the former how does it calculate a '5' rating? Basically I would prefer a leitner system but those programs that use a leitner system aren't time configuerable. (They are hard coded to do whatever exponent the program wanted for himself, I can't say, enter my own leitner equation) So I am wondering what the pattern of review cards would look like since that isn't clear. You can ignore this last paragraph, I'm not sure I am expressing myself properly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
