Memorida vs Memosh

An effective method of memorization based on spaced repetition theory When you memorize foreign words(eg. Spanish, French), you can memorize nearly a thousand words in about a month, if you do it 30 words a day, unless you forget what you memorized before. According to the forgetting curve theory, one's memory falls exponentially as time wear on. There are various factors, such as the meaning of what you try to memorize, individual ability, but most people have little memory after a week. What's important here is repetitive learning, but it would be inefficient to repeat every thing every day. This is because, according to the spaced learning theory, the more you repeat it, the more flat the exponential function you lose your memory. So even though there are individual differences, for many people, reviewing one day after, three days after, seven days after, 14 days after would work well. We remember things for a long time with less time investment to repeat it by gradually increasing the interval. It will be effective in doing so. Memorida is an optimized solution to this type of memorization. It asks rarely things you remember well, and it asks more frequently things you don't remember well, so you could be more effective to memorizing them.

Point your camera at a textbook or your notes, and Memosh reads it into flashcards. Scanned pages and PDFs both work — the time you spent typing cards out goes back into learning them. ■ Snap it, or import a PDF Shoot pages with the built-in document scanner — it straightens the page and reads the text into cards. For PDFs, just pick a page range. Scanned PDFs whose text cannot be extracted are read as images instead, so material you scanned from paper still works. ■ Four kinds of card • Basic — a question on the front, the answer on the back • Cloze — fill in the blanked-out part of a sentence • Term and definition — the term on the front, its definition on the back • Multiple choice — pick the right one from four options Choose whichever suits the material. ■ Back again, just before you forget After each card you pick Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and that decides when it returns. Cards you know well spread further apart; shaky ones come back sooner. Your review time concentrates on what you have not learned yet. ■ Set your own pace Each deck can cap how many new cards and how many reviews it shows per day. Cards you keep getting wrong are flagged automatically, and you can set one aside and bring it back later. ■ Check that it stuck Turn your cards into a quiz and answer them as multiple choice. Past attempts are kept in a history, and your day-to-day progress shows up as a heatmap. ■ Audio and images Attach a photo or a recording to either side of a card — useful for subjects that need pronunciation or diagrams. ■ No account, free There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. Your cards are stored on your device and are never shared. Reviewing works offline; only generating new cards needs a connection. AI generation is limited to 60 requests per day, and resets when the date changes. Available in Japanese, English, and Korean.
