Hi guys this is a quick review for AnkiDroid
running on Android OS. I'm using my HTC EVO sprint phone
for this demo
after you download the app from the market
you hit the icon AnkiDroid
and then you will see now one of the decks loaded
i have loaded some decks already on my phone
but just to show you a list of the decks
here i have microbiology, fullmetal alchemist the brotherhood to study some
japanese through anime
maybe some Arabic vocabulary
and country capitals deck
before I'm gonna start reviewing the available decks
i'm gonna go ahead and show you how to download a deck. If you click on menu
and then
download deck
you have two options here: personal deck
in case you have Anki installed on your mac or pc
and you want to sync it with the phone you can do that through personal decks
shared decks are the deck that people have already uploaded
to Anki website
and here you see all the
decks available
for you to download
there is a really an extensive list
ranging from languages to medicine to business
uh... for example people if you go to search and start typing GRE
space
and then
I have a list of all the available GRE words
and below the deck name you see
the number of facts
these represent the number of flash cards available
for that specific deck. So as you can see you have an extensive
number of words that you can review fore your GRE exam
let me go back
so let's start with a simple example in this case, the country capitals
so i'm gonna hit on it
and it opens the deck for me
on the top you see the deck name
you have the number
of cards available: zero out of thirty four so the maximum number of
cards are thirty four
the review due date
the number of cards that you need to review can be shown here
the new cards today
and estimated time in case you've been studying this for quite some time
you can hit the start review
and then it asks me a question
what's the capital of France
So Paris in this example
I'm gonna hit show answer
I few options at the bottom
the options here
represent how good
you did answering that question
so if you didn't know that answer you hit again
if it was a relatively easy
if you were like in the middle
he can hit good. If it was so easy you hit very easy. So most of these are self
explanatory
on the top of the options you see
thr number of days
that this card will be due. So if you hit like for example easy you're gonna see
that flashcard
again after five days
what's beautiful about Anki is that it manages how often you need to
review that card. You don't need to think about managing the cards yourself
just let the software do that for you
i'm gonna hit easy
Peru... i have no idea
click again
lima
on the top you see something has changed
if you look carefully
number one represent
the card that you did not answer correctly
the zero the due cards
and eighteen of the number of cards left for me to study today
and uh...
usually you start with a twenty cards per day
here you can see the review time and these bars represent how well you did
all of this information is available
on Anki website
just go to uh... AnkiDroid
type AnkiDroid in Google and you should be able to hit the AnkiDroid
webpage
you have also an option called night mode
uh... if you hit that option
and start reviewing again it's gonna make the background uh... black
so if you are studying at night
some people find this is easier
mode to study
flash cards
and again if you hit show answer
you see everything is displayed correctly
i can hit back
so pretty much this is how you would study cards
and you see the bards have been updated on top
the number of reviews. The new today... the new total.. everything
is available here for you
you can also limit
the number of card you study
by session so you can say I want to study for ten minutes per day
or by
uh... number of questions
so you have different options that
you can choose from
if you have an exam and you want to cram tags
uh... cards by tags you can hit the cram button
and you can say I want to cram
different tags that's also uh... possible
if you go to cards browser you see
uh... the list of all the available flashcards
so you can
do that by going here. Statistics...
uh... if you are maybe doing a research project or if you are interested
to see how well you are learning
you can uh...
hit on statistics button and go over the different options here
if you hit on due for example it's gonna ask you whether you want to choose a
one-week period... one month period or three months
period
if I hit menu here
i can go back to all decks
and as you can see i have a list of different decks
uh... let'***
maybe the Kanji JLPT
(Japanese language Proficiency Test) level four
I have this deck -again- to study japanese
you can hit start review
uh... let me exit the night mode
i can go there again
and you see the Kanji for "bun"
so I have the different pronunciations for
uh... On reading, Kun reading
and you see: part, minutes
things like that so this was very easy
and then this is ichi
means number one
and there you go
and that but because i studied this long time ago if i hit good I wont see this
card till 3.3 months
so that's
what's beautiful about Anki that uh... it manages the cards for you
uh... let me click here
you see different options so you can click on study options
if you want to review the cards by the order added
or maybe by the reverse order or random order you can do that
here
uh... the number of cards you wanna review per day
and things like that it's also available here
if you hit on sync it's gonna go ahead and sync
with my account and what's nice about that is that
i can study on my phone... sync..
when i go
home i can maybe
study on the computer
and it basically uh... continues from where i left off
on my phone
if you go to preferences you see uh... different list of options
the language for AnkiDroid so you can select different languages for
the user interface
you can go
and
click on the start-up mode for example if you wanna
show the deck picker or wanna start on the deck itself you can do that
let me hit back
for display, you can review in full screen or keep uh...
notification bar
if you hit on provide Ruby annotation then if you have a Kanji
it's going to provide the Hiragana reading
for that if you are studying Japanese
Relative font-size.. all of that is available
and you can go to the website to learn more about
all of this
i'm not gonna
do that right now
uh... another interesting deck
I created by myself is the fullmetal alchemist brotherhood
if you click on this deck
you can create a deck by using a software i think it's called a
[Corrected: Subs2SRS]
basically you take an anime uh... episode. You put English
subtitles, Japanese subtitles
and then uh...
it determines the audio starts, when the audio ends
from the subtitle
extract the audio, put a thumbnail
and create a deck for the entire anime episode
so you can study japanese
through animw which is really quite fun
so just to show you an example I can hit start review
and then you hear the audio in japanese if you want to listen to it again
you have to pay attention in class, you know
and then you can choose the answer
so this is a really cool
I'm gonna say easy
so i mean i like fullmetal alchemist lots and AnkiDroid does a fantastic job
playing the audio
showing the thumbnail and the japanese without any problems uh... on android
uh...
if you hit menu
here you can edit the card
if you wanna change some of the information or if you found a mistake
you can dismiss the card if you don't wanna see it again for example if the
card was..
very difficult for you or if you are not interested in it anymore
and what's nice is that if you made a mistake and hit the answer button
and kept going through cards you can hit undo
to go to the previous flashcards
So Anki provide that option for you you can mark a card
if you wanna uh...
put a mark on it
uh... this is
just a quick review of the app. It does not cover all the functionality
the developers are updating the app on almost on weekly basis uh...
I encourage you to come to AnkiDroid website
uh... come to the usergroup uh... if you have any questions.. any problems..
please tell that to the developers
they are really nice and quite helpful
and if you found the useful please go and donate to Anki
uh... they paid
uh... a lot of
time and efforts
to make this fantastic tool available
i'm studying uh... I'm using Anki to study for my dental boards
i really appreciate Anki and I already donated so
uh... if you like it use it tell people about it
uh... i really like it and i'm sure you can i like it as well
