--- FlashCard ---
This is coming from an old thread (
Flashcards app for kobo glo ) and if you're looking for an other alternative I guess this one is worth mentioning too (
What's the vocabulary builder like? (hidden feature) ).
I create a flashcard app ( Wikipedia on
Flashcard and
Spaced repetition ) for Kobo. It pops up while you read and forces you to study. So you read, study, read, study, read, ... switching between the two modes is kind of seamless, you continue reading right where you left off ( see also
user interaction while nickel is running? ).
You can customize how many cards should be shown per session, and how many minutes / pageflips should be between sessions. The only way to get out of a session and continue reading, is to answer all the cards.
Cards are chosen randomly. For each card you can answer whether it was "easy" or "hard", and doing so changes the probability for that card. "easy" cards are half as likely to appear again, whereas "hard" cards will be twice (or four, eight) times as likely.
So unlike a big SRS application like Anki, which has a concept of time and "due cards" there is no time based scheduling here. Any card can appear at any time, it's just more likely to show a card you don't know well.
Cards are image files which you have to create yourself - I used inkscape / imagemagick for that. On the downside that means you can't just put a text file in there, on the upside it gives you total freedom in terms of design and layout of cards. You can also use transparency and use background images shared by all cards, so you don't have to duplicate data and image files stay reasonably small.
To illustrate, here's an animated gif:
I'll provide a sample deck set so you get the idea.
To install, copy KoboRoot-FlashCard-<version>.tgz » .kobo/KoboRoot.tgz
It will create .addons/flashcard/ with a sample config file. You'll have to add a deck too.
To uninstall, set uninstall=1 in .addons/flashcard/flashcard.cfg
