Learn Fast
Are you overwhelmed with the amount of information you need to cover when preparing for a test? Do you always feel you need just one more day to prepare? If you are, you need Memorite. With Memorite digital notes are created and filled in practically with the speed of reading a book. Automatically created notes could be manually edited. In fact, automated and manual note taking work in tandem, for example, you can manually enter a note’s title, and automatically fill in the note’s body. In addition to automated note taking Memorite automatically and instantaneously makes flashcards from the notes, and as we all know flashcards are an invaluable resource for test preparation. Overall, Memorite drastically increases learning efficiency. If you are a high school or college student, if you are preparing for MCAT or LSAT, if you are planning to take a professional certification test, if you are learning a new technology at work, if you are anyone who wants to learn new things fast, Memorite is for you. It is the only way you can:
- Make notes with text and images from paper and digital media sources automatically in real time. Notes are created in an identical manner both for paper and digital books.
- Mix notes taken from multiple paper and digital sources.
- Make new notes manually, automatically, or using the combination of the two approaches.
- Automatically create flashcards from the notes.
And, of course, standard note taking apps features, like searching and editing notes, are also supported.
While Memorite is designed mainly for your learning needs you can take advantage of its unique features in other areas. Let’s say you are an aspiring cook, and you have a bunch of books with culinary recipes. Some books are physical, some are digital, Memorite doesn’t care. When you see a recipe you like you select it with the Smart Stylus and Memorite instantly saves it in a digital recipes notebook. When you are done all your favorite recipes are in the notebook Memorite built for you.
Remember Forever
Learning fast is good, but it is not enough. The knowledge you gained while preparing for a test has an expiration date. If you don’t reinforce it, you will forget what you learned. You need to turn your knowledge into a skill that you don’t forget, which means you need to move the knowledge from the short-term memory to the long-term memory of your brain. How can you do it? The wide-spread technique being used to achieve that goal is called Spaced Repetition. Spaced Repetition is associated with a German psychologist Herbert Ebbinghaus. He came up with the idea that memory retention declines over the time exponentially, he named this decline a “forgetting curve”. Spaced Repetition is a technique used to flatten this curve by reviewing the study material with increasing time intervals. The idea is that repeating what you learned makes the forgetting curve flatter (it takes you longer to forget), so time intervals to review the information could increase. For example, after you create the notes, you review them in 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60 days. At that point your knowledge in the long-term memory of the brain. Memorite supports this technique. Spaced Repetition works well if you don’t need to apply the knowledge before you completely mastered it, in other words you first learn, then apply. Memorite helps you to apply as you learn. The following Memorite features enforce this approach:
- Notes are stored in logical order, they represent the summary of the sources they were taken from.
- Notes are fully searchable, which allows to quickly find relevant information.
- New notes could be inserted in any place in a notebook to maintain logical order.
- Notes order could be changed to maintain logical order.
- Notes with the material already learned could be hidden to concentrate on the information yet to be learned.
Instead of reviewing notes at increasing time intervals, the notes are reviewed on the need to use basis. Time intervals for reviewing the notes are determined by the need to use relevant information. Information you use often is learned quickly. It takes longer to learn information you rarely use. When you believe you learned certain information, you hide the corresponding notes to concentrate on information yet to be learned. Thus, the time intervals for reviewing are formed naturally facilitating real-time learning.
Memorite may also be useful for many non-education related tasks. Imagine you are going on vacation overseas. You bought a travel guide book and started planning the trip. You only have one week of vacation so you must carefully choose the activities. While reading the book with Memorite’s help you store all activities you like the most in a trip notebook. Then you remove the activities you don’t have time to attend. And finally you change the order of activities according to your plans.
