Anki
Anki is software which is designed to help you recall facts
(e.g. words and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, effectively
and promptly as possible. To do this, the software monitors how well
each fact is remembered, and uses that information to optimally
schedule review times.
Besides text, Anki supports multimedia, and even rendering TeX
snippets in the cards. We particulary like the fact that the software
synchronizes card decks to a server so
that users can review the deck on other computers, a web interface or
mobile
devices, for which versions of Anki are also available. Even complete
card decks offered by other users can be downloaded the same way. Anki
offers a multitude of possibilities for learning.
Anki is extensible with plugins which can be downloaded and
installed from
the menu. While Anki can be used for studying anything,
plugins are available with special features designed to make studying
Japanese
and English easier: integrated dictionary lookups, missing kanji
reports, and much more.
