They have quite a few other rude, dismissive responses on this thread. Turned me away from their product.

Maybe I'm being rude, but if you miss the chance to use Note Garden for that reason, I'll call you an idiot.

I tried the software and then when I opened an app the screen became full of windows. Never seen that before. I have to stop the computer. So I desinstalled it. That seem a good reason to not use it to me.

I hate creating notes on the computer. I wish e-ink devices would implement some good spaced repetition to their hand written notes apps. When I do use the computer for notes it's hard to beat Anki or org-drill.

"It's better to do this by hand than on a computer" was a common saying before software was sufficiently advanced. That word has always changed. And now is the time. The moment when the utility of doing digitally exceeds the utility of doing it manually.

Physical input always beats keyboard when it comes to sketching things out quickly. I don't want to spend an hour trying to get a diagram correct on a PC when I could spend 2 minutes drawing it on a tablet.

Have you thought about a strategy for when someone starts having many cards to review? I used Anki daily throughout my PhD to never forget a ton of machine learning and math. I used it for about 7 years daily (PhD + postdoc + 1.5 years) and I had around 20,000 cards. I just had to review them every day and I basically seemed like a fountain of knowledge. But a year into my professorship, I just didn't have time to do…

Because I apparently watch youtube videos about anki plugins, I recently heard about Load Balancer ( https://www.britvsjapan.com/top-20-anki-add-ons/#load ) to solve this exact problem. Hopefully this helps you continue to be a fountain of knowledge. Good luck! Out of curiosity, have you found yourself getting rusty on the information that had seemed long-term locked-in when you were a regular user?

It depends. The stuff I used often, I don't forget. Having to teach forces me to regularly recall a lot of things.

However, there are a lot of things I don't use regularly.

Does someone have a way to use any of these apps solely with voice, so I can use it while driving? I’ve looked into anki plugins but did not find anything complete (that is, you can reply with voice), and I can’t be the first to desire this…

Yes, here's my set for Spanish Vocab: https://myvoicecards.com/set?id=2703f284-754e-4fe8-ad6c-92f6...

Still very rough, but I'm accepting feature requests and suggestions! Email in bio.

One of the AnkiDroid maintainers here. This is entirely my personal opinion and not representative of a general consensus.

I am strongly opposed to this for ethical reasons. Distracting drivers will kill people. This functionality would also increase the risk of death for non-users of the software.

Drivers distracted by talk is already a thing through radio, phone and physical company. A purely voice-driven anki should not entail more risk than a conference call.

I'm also ethically opposed to phone conversations whilst driving, for the same reasons as above.
