Just enter what you want to remember in a Q&A format to get started. This simple format is actually what cognitive psychology calls the 'testing effect' — one of the most effective learning methods known. Research shows that students who studied through self-testing had a forgetting rate of only 13% after two days, compared to 56% for those who only re-read the material (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). Simple operation directly becomes scientifically proven learning.

We forget about 74% of what we learn within a day (Ebbinghaus, 1885). However, reviewing at the right intervals can dramatically prevent forgetting (Cepeda et al., 2006). Ankimo applies this principle, reminding you at optimal intervals to convert short-term memory into long-term retention.

This system is based on the 'box system' devised by Leitner in 1972. Items that are hard to remember are reviewed frequently at short intervals, while well-remembered items are reviewed at longer intervals. By automatically adjusting review frequency to your memory level, it maximizes the effect of limited study time.

Review during commutes, waiting times, or short breaks. Just like checking emails, even a few minutes of spare time can become learning time. Small daily accumulations lead to big learning results.

With any internet connection (WiFi, mobile data, etc.), you can access from any device - PC, tablet, or smartphone. Register new items on your home PC and review on your smartphone while out. No app download required.

When learning large amounts (e.g., 1,000+ English words), it's not easy to judge what you've memorized, what still needs review, and how much time to spend on each item. Ankimo automates this complex process with self-assessment and reminder features. Just focus on learning for efficient memory retention. For those with existing study data from other tools or wanting to manage separate accounts, TSV import/export is available from the posts list menu.

In English learning, learning correct pronunciation is important. Click the speaker icon to hear the pronunciation of entered words or phrases. Covering 100,000+ English words and phrases, from daily conversation to technical terms. Using the latest Web Speech API technology for natural, clear pronunciation.

When you can't immediately recall the answer, hints help organize your thinking. Thinking through hints rather than just seeing the answer increases retention. According to Craik & Lockhart's (1972) 'Levels of Processing' theory, the more you think about meaning and connect it to existing knowledge, the stronger the memory formed. Creating hints is exactly this process — thinking about meaning and linking knowledge together.

Go beyond simple memorization - design Q&As that help you actually use what you've learned. For example, 'Make a sentence using this word' or for history, 'Explain the impact of this historical event on modern society.' Output-type questions lead to more practical, deeper understanding.

The key is creating questions that dig into 'why' rather than just memorizing. By understanding not just facts but also relationships and context, you develop applicable knowledge. See input tips

Research shows that learning with peers increases motivation and improves academic performance. Even just the presence of other learners or encouraging messages boosts learning engagement.

Teachers and instructors can track all students' learning progress from the dashboard, useful for individual guidance and class management.
