r/memorization

Career changed from accounting to nursing not too long ago, used flashcard apps heavily through both. Different subject matter (regulations and tax codes vs anatomy and pharmacology) but the same underlying skill, memorising tons of stuff long-term. Here's my ranking of the apps that survived both phases.

anki: top of the list bc nothing else matches the spaced repetition algorithm, fsrs update made it even better. setup is brutal but if you're going to memorise content you'll use for years (cpa exams, board exams, etc), anki is the right tool. cards I made for accounting four years ago I can still review and recognise 80% of.

remnote: best one imo, note taking and spaced repetition live in the same place, so pharmacology readings become review cards without app switching.It also has a pdf annotator built in.

brainscape: tried it during cpa prep, confidence rating system is interesting but the paywall scope killed my interest. wouldn't recommend unless you have specific reasons to want confidence based scheduling.

quizlet: only used it for early career vocab stuff like accounting terminology. useful for surface level memorisation, weak for the kind of integrated knowledge you need on professional exams.

mochi: clean and minimalist, smaller deck library. used it briefly during a weird interim phase but came back to anki bc the algorithm just works better.

If you're starting from scratch and want a recommendation, anki for serious memorisation work, remnote if your studying is mostly note driven and you want both jobs in one app.

Scans, highlighted text, textbook chapters, notes written at 3am that even you can't read or just a prompt — smart flashcards come out the other side. Doing the responsible founder thing and asking humans first. What would you love? Drop your wishlists and your roasts. I'll read everything and only cry a little.

Hey everyone!

A few months ago, I finished rushing out my flashcard learning app—and then... I actually started using it to learn flashcards myself.

A few other people have joined me as well and started learning cards, too. For instance, our entire German conversation club uses it: we maintain one large shared collection, add to it after our club meetings, and try to keep the vocabulary up to date.

I’ve expanded my vocabulary by over 100 words. While I haven't *perfectly* mastered all of them yet in terms of spaced repetition, I’m already using them in real-life conversations—and that is exactly what I set out to achieve.

Alongside this, I’ve rolled out several major updates to my app, Memor More:

1. You can now share decks—either with private groups (access granted via a link) or publicly (making them available to everyone on the platform).

2. Integration with Google Sheets, plus an import feature for Anki decks. A couple of users migrated over from Anki, so I built this feature specifically for them.

3. The ability to generate new flashcards based on existing ones. This has proven quite useful when you’re studying a niche subject area and want to quickly generate a set of related vocabulary.

4. The Quiz Mode. To be honest, I didn't really need it myself, but one of the users mentioned that they prefer studying in the quiz mode rather than using flashcards.

The app still retains its cozy, indie vibe and is primarily used by people I know personally—but if you’ve been looking for a sign from above to start learning some terms, vocabulary, or just about anything else... come join us!

PS

Quite a lot is available in the app without a subscription, and for Reddit, I’ve gathered a few promo codes that will grant you an additional two weeks of free access:

That's it, I need to learn mostly from books, it's all very strict, everything by heart, that's how I'm evaluated and I'd like to learn a technique other than active recall or flashcards.I try to apply it, but I only remember some phrases, and I don't remember the ones that don't have a visual anchor.And it's complicated to create a locus that is associated with an entire paragraph.

I've tried it with short data sets like 20 random numbers or words; it's fast and works on the first or second recall. But I don't remember, recall with entire paragraphs.

i’m kinda freaking out because i auditioned for this role on whim, not thinking i would actually get it. it’s a theater production at my local community theater. i tried using line learner and off book, but manually recording 80 pages of scene partners' dialogue before i can even start practicing is draining me.

are there any other visual learners out there? audio cues don't stick in my head. i need to see the words on the page to remember them. how are you guys cramming massive scripts without spending three days doing voice memos?

One thing I’ve been struggling with lately is not just memorizing new surahs, but actually keeping them in my memory long term.

Sometimes I spend days learning a few verses and everything feels fine, then after a week of not revising properly I suddenly forget parts of it again. It honestly gets discouraging because it feels like I’m starting over every time.

I’ve been thinking maybe my revision system is the problem. Right now I mostly memorize whenever I feel motivated, but I’m realizing consistency and repetition probably matter more than motivation itself.

For people who are serious about Hifz, what helped you remember surahs long term?

Did you create a strict revision schedule, use an app/tool, or practice with someone daily?

hi! everyone I one memorization and learning process is sucks when it come to some complicated topics especially in medicine, law, learning new word on languages. on med school I have studied a lot of stuff to memorise and have used anki for this process. it make me fill boring at most but I used trick I started to create interesting associations which fits me and making story to ease memorisation. so I decided to create an app which could help people to do it by they own using AI. only what you need is decide did mnemonic ease your memorization or not. choose option ai could generate mnemonics which is best for that stuff or use one of the options (acronyms, visualizations, storytelling etc.) or write you own variant , your favorite fiction, something interesting you etc.. if you liked mnemonics and it ease memorisation keep it , if not you could regenerate mnemonic and so on. app link on profile

Hi r/studytips, I am conducting an experiment for a science fair project on the best methods of memorization. If you have 10 minutes to spare, I would greatly appreciate your help! The information is in the Drive link.
