- Product: WinFlash
-
- Description:
-
- Open Windows has incorporated graphics and sound capability in the latest
- release of WinFlash, the general-purpose Windows flashcard program.
- Users can now create flashcard files with pictorial and audio content
- supplementing traditional text. The standard Windows 3.1 applets,
- PaintBrush and SoundRecorder can be used to create and edit the .BMP and
- .WAV files for use with WinFlash.
-
- The new colors, sounds, graphics and TrueType fonts invite the use of
- WinFlash for entertainment as well as study. You can construct Trivia-
- style games for the enjoyment of friends and family - the wide
- availability of .WAV "quotes" should provide rich material for this
- pastime!
-
- WinFlash now provides four learning modes allowing users to select the
- one most suited to their goals and learning style. The new "Priority
- Questions From History" mode tracks your correct answers and classifies
- Q&A pairs as belonging to one of three categories: Unlearned, Short Term
- Learned or Long Term Learned. The threshold values for "promoting" a Q&A
- pair from one category to another is selectable by the user. Frequency
- of appearance of Q&A pairs from each group is also adjustable.
-
- The addition of TrueType font support makes WinFlash especially useful
- for language studies requiring a non-English alphabet.
-
- The on-line Help has been expanded and provides examples for the
- construction of the Question/Answer files. These files are easily
- generated with NotePad or other ASCII text editor and can now be directly
- edited from within WinFlash. The user interface is very straightforward,
- even for young children -- no computer experience is necessary to run the
- program once you have written and loaded the Question/Answer file.
