Fachwort 8.07

FB-WinVokabel
German interface
  by www.brall.com/winvok, infoDELETETHIS@brall.com
1.7 MB
(~20 Euros (files to learn 5 languages from German included))
Various training modes, e.g. flashing (slide show), time limit for response, hangman. Random flashcard flipping, direct and inverted question modes. Import function. Text must fit into a single line
:-(
Instead of Leitner system, a learning curve (from scores). Wave files can be attached.
Praised by Computer Bild 1/99 and Shareware Light 2/99.
 
       

FB-Winvokabel 1.0
German interface
  by Brall Software 1998
Shareware (~20 Euros)
winvok.exe 1687 kB
Flashcard format: one field, four further fields for translations (one-line text only :-( ), one sound file per flashcard.
Training: questions can be reversed.
Training modes: Q/A, (customizable) time limit, slideshow, three-options multiple choice ("Blitzraten", mouse clicks), hangman, "Quickklick" (similar to memory games: click when a translation of 0a word that had appeared previously comes up).
Selective learning: only three options; learn all flashcards, or those with less than X points (score), or "marked" flashcards. Note: ( a ) Score addition/subtraction after each hit/wrong can be customized. ( b ) Flashcards can be marked by hand or using a filter (score, search occurrence, initial letter, word length).
More: Character map. Floating keyboard image (useful for odd languages).
Sort cards. Print vocabulary lists (with exclusion filters). Simple statistic data. Import/export.
Setup: it can only be installed into a first level directory :-( No uninstall.
Bugs: setup asked for floppy diskette (!). Under NT it generated an "Exception EConvert error". Sometimes slow in loading training sessions.
User-friendliness: mouse is a must :-( Fancy, colorful interface.
Notes: Parts of source code in common with TreeVok, since this title appears in some dialog box (a typo).

Not bad, but it could be more user-friendly; it is also too expensive.

A popular, well-featured program that saw some of its features superseded.

Selective learning: (1) by percentage score, which is less flexible than Leitner system, since score is cumulative, (2) by keyword occurrence.
Assessment: percentage scoring.
User-friendliness: mouse is a must :-(
Extras: Import/export (txt, html, csv, rich text). Help is HTML help :-\ (no search across topics)
Bugs: some of the files contained in the distribution were in the old 2.4 format. No uninstall :-(
