FullRecall v1.2.54




What is FullRecall?
It's a software that can help you memorize knowledge effectively and retain knowledge in memory spending minimum time on repetitions. FullRecall uses artificial neural network, which gradually grasps your forgetting curve, to schedule the best time for an item to come up for a review—a day when you'll be close to forgetting the information.

FullRecall also uses "Power of Question" and CPL (Critical Path Learning) method, based on J. Andrew Shaw's ATOL theory, to maximize learning efficiency. CPL "gets most of its effectiveness from using tight feedback loops and enforcing information accuracy"—FullRecall lets you immediately check if your recall is correct, reinforcing always only the correct answer. You can also ask FullRecall for "hint" (next character in the answer) or type answer by keyboard and FullRecall gives you instant feedback whether just pressed letter is right.

The software is similar to common flashcard programs: knowledge is stored in question-answer pairs. In review mode you're presented questions, one by one. To every question you think about an answer, and after a while you're confronted with the correct answer. Then you pick a grade to evaluate how well you remembered it. That grade gives FullRecall a feedback. FullRecall also stores other data (number of total reviews of item, current interval, etc.), given also current grade is able to schedule next optimal review (and later try to learn itself if there was a mistake: if scheduled interval was too long or too short—i.e. if your grade on the next review is below or above "good"). With FullRecall you can learn new things fast, without worrying about repetitions of what you remember—FullRecall assures that even if you forget something, you'll be soon reminded about it.

The problem of forgetting
We do forget. Nothing stays in our brain forever without reviews. If something is important to you, you'll think about it from time to time (or even dream about it)—these repetitions, conscious or not, will reinforce your memory of this fact. We often come across new information and we want to keep it in memory even though we may not need it for the next weeks or months. In order to not forget we have to do repetitions. However, how much time spent on repetitions is optimal? What is the optimal time of a review?
FullRecall is the solution here. Ensures that you remember new things, but don't forget what you have already memorized (reviews are scheduled on days when you're close to forgetting, so sometimes you may happen to actually forget an information, but FullRecall "learns" from this mistakes, self-corrects on scheduling to minimize such lapses in the future).
Active Recalls

There are two kinds of repetitions:
* when you look at information passively, e.g. in your notes or in a book;
* when you recall an information using only your mind (this is "active recall"), e.g. try to recall a phone number without any external help.

Active recalls are more effective: while you're trying to recall an information, at the same time you're also reinforcing your memory of this information. FullRecall does facilitate active recalls and helps to use active recalls even when you don't remember an answer (by "Hint" feature).

Features
* scheduling of items is done by ANN that learns itself about your pace of learning and grading-habits; scheduling have an auto-final-drill (items you had problems with shows up the same day until ANN decides your grade was enough to schedule item for another day); small randomness in scheduling (to not bore you with the same sequence of items on another day) takes into account how many items are already scheduled on considered days;
* Unicode support;
* support for images (in all popular formats: PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP, and more);
* XML and tab-delimited file format support;
* support for categories;
* text formatting (bold, underline, strikeout);
* possibility to do everything from keyboard;
* multi-platform (Windows 98/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/ Vista, Linux, FreeBSD, Pocket-PC, PalmOS; planned version for MacOSX);
* network import/export;
* auto-backup in zip file format in a directory/path of your choice;
* license (the commercial one, if you'll decide to buy full version) is bound to a person not a computer, so you can use FullRecall on many different computers, in many different places: network synchronization, small FullRecall size and quick installation make work with FullRecall in different places easy;
* graphical and textual statistics;
* automatic warning about badly formulated items that you keep forgetting even though intervals are low, suggesting what to do;
* auto-grab-clipboard mode to facilitate in fast creating question-answer collections without direct interaction with FullRecall;
* search supporting regular expressions;
* program is lightweight;
* further and constant development (see changelog and roadmap).
