Two things, I think.
First, I was a long time power user of Anki and don't mean to disparage it, but I think CleverDeck has a much better user experience and design.
Second, we've spent a tremendous amount of time putting together high quality frequency lists (mostly for languages right now) that incorporate professional imagery, native-speaker audio, transliterations (where relevant), and example sentences. Usually, making or piecing together your own decks and cards is the most time-consuming part of using an SRS - and user content is often of dubious quality.
In terms of the spaced repetition, though, CleverDeck and Anki actually use the same algorithm.
- misiti3780 9y agowhere did you get the native speaker audio ?
- jmcannon 9y agoWe recorded it ourselves by interviewing and hiring local to us.
- arkades 9y agoTranslate Bros Anki deck for USMLE into cleverdeck, alongside pathoma and pharm - you'll have every med student in the country signing up annually.
- rimliu 9y agoIs that algorithm public?

- afarrell 9y ago> we've spent a tremendous amount of time putting together high quality frequency lists I've recently started using Anki, but have only found it useful for taking a mental model that I sat down one weekend and learned, and re-enforcing it. How valuable are these frequency lists for learning something entirely new? If I wanted to use them to say, memorise the api exposed by ActiveRecord, would they be useful, or would they ask me a series of questions that I couldn't yet really put in context?
