I saw your answer to that question and I got really interested in the program.

How do I go about using it?

**Mnemosyne is free, it's just difficult to find the correct download link. The link I provided will always point to version 1.2.1, which may not be the most current version in a few months.**

Mnemosyne is a flashcard program that shows cards according to an advanced algorithm. With it, you can memorize a large amount of information is a short period of time.

Download, install, and start Mnemosyne. Click the "add cards" button. Put a question in the top box and an answer in the bottom box. Click "0" and continue until you have added all of the information you want to memorize. There are also pre-made sets of cards on the Mnemosyne site.

After you have added all of the data to be memorized, the main Mnemosyne window will present you with one of the questions you created. Think of the answer and click "show answer". If you were correct, click a number between 2 and 5, depending on how much effort it took to remember it. If you were incorrect, choose 0 or 1, depending on how close you were.

Do this for as long as you want. If I'm trying to "cram", I will generally get the "Not memorized" count to zero and then "work ahead of schedule" a few times in intervals of a few hours. The person who asked that question could easily memorize her 17 symbols in just a few hours using Mnemosyne.

For best results, you should use Mnemosyne every day. It will ask you a few questions that it thinks you might have forgotten by now (not the entire set), and in this way you will never forget the data memorized with Mnemosyne.

This is the download link you should use for Mnemosyne (valid only for the next few months):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mnemosyne-proj/files/mnemosyne/mnemosyne-1.2.1/mnemosyne-1.2.1-setup.exe/download

(Rating: 5) So this won't be available a few months from now?

But if I get it now, will I forever have it?

Thanks. =]
