Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and
phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible.

information to optimally schedule review times.
Besides text, it supports sounds, images and rendering TeX snippets in the
cards. It can synchronize card decks to a server so that you can review the

downloaded the same way.
