It would be great if LR had a similar repetition schedule and tracking for .cat / .pl files.

Hi Ayesha,

Thanks for this, we'll have a look

Hi there again.

I wish that BK would add a feature to LR so that we could input a list of words in a category, and then LR will filter it into playlists (based on how many sets of 5 cards per day we want); via Doman method schedule for "learning" a list of vocabulary words with Arabic/English translation; and then use the SRS to maintain it.  And I need access to my custom Arabic fonts to be supported, with the capability to change the size of the Arabic font independently from the size of the English translated font (Arabic text larger than English - which is standard in any MS program).

What do you think?

Hi there again! 

Anki recently updated to a beta version 2 RC6:  http://ankisrs.net/docs/dev/changes.html , and it is not working for me with regard to easily formatting the Arabic text.  It requires some knowledge of coding, which is foreign to me, and the manual is less than clear.

SuperMemo 15 is easier to format, but a more difficult interface to learn:  http://supermemo.com/help/new15.htm , but is not available on cross-platforms and is more expensive.

I also recently discovered http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/ which is easier to use for a novice, such as myself, than the two above SRS, yet like the others, do not have printing capabilities.  I will most likely use this SRS for the time-being.   

I am again requesting that Brillkids create a SRS extension software for LR to grow with our children's learning.  I also like this feature of the option of 3-sided cards, that are printable, such as: http://www.flashcardexchange.com/.   

All of the above SRS have multi-media options which should also be included. 

After being frustrated with my search for an SRS for a few years for Arabic language studies for myself and my children, I have come to better appreciate and love the ease of using LR and hope that this project request will be given a priority status.  Please let me know how I can help.   

Thanks!

Hi Ayesha ~

I think we're on track to being able to do something like what you requested:

I wish that BK would add a feature to LR so that we could input a list of words in a category, and then LR will filter it into playlists (based on how many sets of 5 cards per day we want); via Doman method schedule for "learning" a list of vocabulary words with Arabic/English translation

Although we're still not sure on SRS maintenance, this is something which might be able to get excited about with the new developments and features we're creating for upcoming versions of LR, so I think it's a step in the direction you're asking us to walk.

Regarding availability, we're not able to give a tentative date for release for this feature, but just thought to let you know we're working on it.

Hi there! 

Thank you for the update.  And the scheduling feature will be great!  And my (very strong) instincts are that when a SRS algorithm is incorporated into LR and even LM, it will allow LR/LM to 'grow' with the children's learning stages for many different subjects, instead of having to switch to another program for that feature.  And BK can also put together advanced learning sets for download (for a fee or points). 

In the meantime, I found the following software that I will try with the Qur'anic flashcards I created in ppt:

I hope this software will work, because I am having formatting issues with the Arabic fonts in Mnemosyne that is a QT4 related issue.

Thanks again!

Update:  Saturday, October 3, 2012 PM > the software is very nice!  I just have to reformat the slide layout style for each file, and then make a few edits. 

document.getElementById('recent_loading').style.display = 'none';document.getElementById('recent_page_box').style.display = '';
