Description: Enter you vocabulary as records, as if they were flashcards or index-cards.

Each day, run a test. This prints on A4. The 'run test' script updates all records, moving each one forward through the system.

Working Under: 7

Instructions / Other Info: VOLATS has two key elements:-
-- Customisable 'flash-card', one card/record for each item of vocabulary. (This version is built for Japanese, but is easily changeable for any language - or indeed anything else you need to learn).
-- A testing regime, which produces a 'daily' (see below) test sheet. Five new items are added each day, and tested with reducing frequency over time. This is the smart bit.

(NB - Dates are not based on the calendar. When you run a test, the date clicks forward by one. This prevents items bunching together if you miss a few days).

More details on the theory and use of VOLATS are at:- www.earthcallingdavid.com/page5/page5.html

I'd appreciate any feedback.
