NAME

       anki - flashcard program for language learning

DESCRIPTION

       Anki  is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently
       as possible.  To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that information to optimally schedule review times.  With  a
       minimal amount of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember, making study more productive, and more fun.

       Anki  is  based	on  a  theory called spaced repetition. In simple terms, it means that each time you review some material, you should wait
       longer than last time before reviewing it again. This maximizes the time spent studying difficult material and  minimizes  the  time  spent
       reviewing  things you already know. The concept is simple, but the vast majority of memory trainers and flashcard programs out there either
       avoid the concept all together, or implement inflexible and suboptimal methods that were originally designed for pen and paper.

       Anki's primary target is people studying Japanese, and Japanese native speakers studying English. However, it can be used to remember  any-
       thing at all, and there are some users who are studying Chinese and possibly other languages with it.

OPTIONS

       anki does not take command line options.  Its interface is entirely graphical.
