Flashcards

Flashcards feature is at the core of the app, and the main way that this app helps you learn.

Spaced Repetition System

Vocarrot uses a spaced repetition algorithm that:

  • Shows you words you're struggling with more frequently
  • Reduces frequency for words you've mastered

The system prioritizes words with lower scores during practice sessions.

Once you get the word three times correct in a row, we can consider it learned. We can still review it from time to time though.

Practice Interface

The flashcard interface features:

  • Swipe left: Mark as "Don't know"
    • Keyboard shortcut on desktop: F
  • Swipe right: Mark as "Knew"
    • Keyboard shortcut on desktop: J
  • Tap: Tap to see the answer/translation
    • Keyboard shortcut on desktop: SPACE

You can also use the controls on the bottom or keyboard shortcuts if you are on desktop.

Flashcards Interface

Practice a little every day rather than long sessions occasionally.

Be Honest to Yourself: Learning happens when you are honest about your recall ability.
