Review Sessions

Review sessions are designed for hands-free listening while still giving you control over how you rate your memory.

How review mode works​

  • The app plays the front of the card.
  • You answer out loud or in your head.
  • The app plays the back, then asks you to rate how well you remembered it.

Spaced repetition algorithm​

Audio Flashcards schedules cards based on your rating:

  • Easy/Correct: Shows less often.
  • Good/Neutral: Returns on a balanced interval.
  • Hard/Wrong: Appears sooner to reinforce memory.

This adaptive schedule keeps sessions efficient and focused on what you need most.

Hands-free listening session​

Use headphones or Bluetooth speakers and keep your phone in your pocket. You can enable voice cues or large on-screen buttons for quick ratings between cards.

Review options​

You can customize sessions in Settings > Review Session Preferences:

  • Autoplay: Automatically advances after a timed pause.
  • Casual Mode: Listen without tracking statistics or affecting scheduling.
  • Reverse Order: Play answers before questions to mix up recall.
  • Loop: Keep sessions going even after all cards are reviewed. You can also enable haptics in Settings > Vibration and Haptics for tactile feedback. Autoplay sessions record a neutral rating by default.

Voice commands (beta)​

Control sessions by voice with commands like next, easy, good, and hard. In Settings > Voice Commands (beta) you can:

  • Download a speech model for your language.
  • Customize command aliases.
  • Test recognition before starting a session.

Algorithms and personalization​

Audio Flashcards includes multiple spacing algorithms. You can set a default algorithm or choose one for a specific folder to match your learning style.
