Core Concept

Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn. It utilizes Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) to optimize the learning process.

Why Anki Works

• Spaced Repetition: Anki tracks how well you remember each item and schedules reviews just before you are likely to forget.
• Customization: Users can create cards with images, audio, and LaTeX scientific notation.
• Synchronization: Study on your computer, tablet, or phone with the free AnkiWeb service.

Versatility

While often associated with language learning, Anki is used by medical students, law students, and hobbyists to memorize anything from anatomy to complex guitar chords. Its open-source nature allows for thousands of user-created add-ons to enhance functionality.
