VoLe: Flashcards CLI

Vocabulary Learn is a command line tool for flashcards learning. It is written in Rust.

This project has the following goals:

• Small and hackable CLI for flashcard learning.
• Efficient tool for learning foreign language vocabulary and similar.

Alternatives

There are multiple alternative programs for flashcard learning. Consider the following alternatives if you are looking for something more mature, stable, feature rich or with GUI.

• Mnemosyne
• Anki

SuperMemo 2

Cards repetition scheduling is based on SM2 algorithm.

Examples

Learning:

$ vole learn
Q: flashcard
Show answer [y, q, ?]? y
A: a card containing a small amount of information
How difficult was it [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ?]? ?
0 - complete blackout
1 - incorrect response; the correct one remembered
2 - incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall
3 - correct response recalled with serious difficulty
4 - correct response after a hesitation
5 - perfect response
? - help
How difficult was it [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ?]? 5
Continue with another card [y, q, ?]? y
...

Adding new card:

$ vole add learning "the acquisition of knowledge or skills"
