Overview
FlashQard is an educational software to improve your learning process.
It is designed to help you learn not only a new language but anything that can be learnt!
This aim is achieved by using the widely used method, called Leitner System, and the idea of "different card types for different purposes".
Leitner System (proposed by Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s) is one the most efficient methods for learning.
Which allows you to focus on the most difficult flashcards and not waste your time on what you have already learnt.
FlashQard is developed to combine the immense power of computers and the power of Leitner System.
This application is made by C++ and QT. It officially works on GNU/Linux and MS Windows.

Latest Announcements
- FlashQard is Back with Version 0.12.0
- After a few months, on 28 June 2009, a new version of FlashQard is released
with a nice set of features and a few bugfixes.
The most notable features include a new section to maintain cards known as "stack". Cards inside the stack are not included in review sessions. It is very useful when you import a file of hundreds or thousands of cards.
Now, multiple cards can be dragged and dropped between stages and/or stack. You can also set navigation settings in review sessions. Therefore you can review random cards or marked cards or any card.
At the last but not the least, text-to-speech is now supported in windows version!
