General Software Discussion / Re: What's a good memorization software?
« on: July 29, 2011, 02:49 PM »
Came across this website while looking for information on spaced repetition programs, and not only is this a very interesting site but this the most interesting discussion of these types of software that I have found.
Has anyone continued to use FullRecall over the past couple years? There is a lot of data on Supermemo as well as learning statistics of long-term users that show that it is extremely effective, but I'm not sure if anything exists for Fullrecall, and although it uses neural networks and this is a task that might be quite amenable to this technique, it has not panned out in other fields.
I don't think anything is wrong with the Supermemo interface. There is definitely a learning curve but since I am past that it doesn't bother me anymore and there are a number of sophisticated things that Supermemo can do that probably cannot be done by any other software.
Anki and Mnemosyne are both based on an old Supermemo algorithm so I imagine that the new SMs must be dramatically superior although the author of Anki disagrees and has written on his website why the older SM algorithm might actually be superior.
