| Vocabulary Trainer 5.0 (Werner) |
by Michael M. Werner, 1999 -- (these pages seem to be down) http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Michael_M_Werner/downeng.htm Important: download patch for version 5.0 from http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Michael_M_Werner/patch.zip Free, Win3.2, Win95 and WinNT, but not Win98 vt_v50.exe, 2775kB - German version also available: Vokabeltrainer Shareware $28 (Plain) text only. 3 level Leitner system. Cards can be tested in inverse mode. Can be case insensitive and typo tolerant. Cards may contain alternatives (e.g. synonyms) on each side (for conjugation forms, different pronouns, etc.). Fonts must be the same for both sides of a card (hence, learning e.g. Russian is not possible) :-(. Offers different learning methods: fill the blanks and some variants (drill German articles or declination), match to form pairs of words, correct a random mistake produced into a word, etc. In short, too much effort in implementing different training formats that could have been made available as well by way of an intuitive, simple question/answer interface. Instead, this has led to a rather messy menu bar. :-( ASCII files can be imported into new Packs of flashcards. Packs of flashcards are always split into 10 "lessons".

All fields "one line text only" :-(. Text formatting: a simple, propietary format for inserting bold, underline and italics. An original and convenient but limited alternative to rich text. Flashcard training: the way "alternative answers" are handled can be customized. Objections are possible: answers can still be demanded as correct after being checked ("Typo" button).

VocabWorks 1.2.7 |
by Karl B.
Jones 2003 Freeware, 6.1 MB A program with a good set of features but with an unconventional interface. Flashcard format: question/answer, root/stem, transliteration, morphology, frequency. One font per field, links to two sound files and one image file. One line only :-( Edit mode: Yes. Packs of flashcards vs Study Files: Yes, "Test" files edited separately from vocabulary list files. Training modes: Slideshow ("Scrolling"), question/answer (variant: "pictorial prompt"), multiple choice, matching pairs. Training options: Reverse direction of questions. Random order. Progressive testing (words added progressively to the Test, conditioned to prior achievement). Iterative testing (wrongly answered flashcards are repeated). Selective learning: "Confidence" filter and frequency filter. Level of confidence for a flashcard is varied automatically by a certain (customizable) percentage each time it is tested. This yields a type of Leitner system. Usability: Mouse is a must in some situations :-( Full-featured, but slightly difficult to get to grips with. Extras: Printed tests. Vocabulary lists available for download. |

Uninstall by way of Control Panel. Sort files in a two-level "Lektionenmanager". Prioritize Packs of flashcards building a "Focus group". Flashcard format: One-line text only :-(. Flashcards sides (/backs) consist of two fields: one for the word itself, and one the article, a part of speech (in English always "the", in other languages varying as per word gender). Multiple-choice "flashcards" consist of three wrong answers and one right answer, plus one "explanation" field. Malicious comment of mine: file writing must be so bad it includes a "compression" facility to purge flashcard files every once in a while. Invertible questions: yes. Training modes: usual, self-grading ("QuickLearn"), multiple-choice, cloze test, crosswords (incl. an editor), and a Memory® game (VoMe), in which you have to match hidden pairs (native/foreign). Assessment: 7-stage Leitner system :-). Fault tolerance: case (in)sensitive, words between parentheses (comments) can be ignored. An "alternate words" set can be customized: thus, e.g. «'ve» could be checked as if you had input «have». The help file gives an awful example for this : "I've a wash" is supposed to be right. Stats for each training session (or game session), Leitner overview for normal training mode. Edition: "Import/Export" function to copy files across its own <.vok> files. Card lists: no drag and drop. Up to four users :-( per flashcard file :-). Shortcuts throughout :-). Custom print function for all games (even in card format on DIN A4 sheets, on both sides). More: Fancy interface, no menus, but a 'navigation bar'. |

Scheduling: Scheduling feature that keeps track of which flashcards are currently "due" for repetition. Must be customized manually. Extras: Search, Sort, Print, Import/Export. Special character windows, support for two keyboard layouts. Statistics. Files can be synchronized over a local area network. User-friendliness: A neat standard interface, but file format (see above) and MDI (multiple documents interface) may cause some trouble to beginners. Tip: Read the "tutorial" from the Help menu. |
