  Description     : Program designed to help you remember facts


>From homepage of Anki:

        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.

        While Anki can be used for studying anything, it also ships with
        special features designed to make studying Japanese and English
        easier: integrated dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports,
        and more. Sample decks are also provided for Russian.
