“Memorize Words Quickly”

What is Memorize Words?

Memorize Words is a suite of vocabulary building applications designed to help you memorize thousands of words as quickly as possible while maintaining a 90% retention rate. Utilizing a Space Repetition Algorithm, Memorize Words tracks the recall rate of individual words and reminds you of words you're about to forget.

Our first product, Memorize Words for Spanish is an iPhone-based application containing over 6300 frequently used Spanish words, each with a pronunciation professionally recorded from a native Spanish speaker (Western Spanish).

Designed to be similar to traditional flash-cards, each day you’ll review words and learn new words selected automatically based on word frequency. Once you become proficient with Spanish-to-English word translations, English translations will be added and eventually audio-only Spanish translations.

What makes Memorize Words different from flash-cards is that you're reminded of words the moment you are going to forget them. Words that you become proficient at show up less often over the weeks and months. In this manner you can memorize thousands of words yet only review a few difficult words each day.

Keep Practicing While Having Fun

Of course all practice and no play gets old fast. That’s why we included a few simple word games, with more being created, to keep you focused on words you’re least proficient with.

So How does it Work?

Whenever you learn a new concept like “corbata = necktie,” the likelihood of you remembering this fact decays over time exponentially. However, if you're reminded later that “corbata = necktie,” the concept becomes more cemented in your mind and likelihood of you remembering will not decay as rapidly.

Memorizing words efficiently is all about timing. Review a word too often and you'll waste time; review a word too infrequently and you'll forget it. Memorize Words tracks your rate of forgetting individual words, reminding you that “corbata” means “necktie” when your Recall rate for the word “corbata” has dropped below 90%.

You will start each session by reviewing words and assessing how well you remembered them. This self-grading fine-tunes the Recall model and schedules the best time to review each word for a future session.

With everyday use, this application will help you acquire a vast body of Spanish words with a retention rate spanning years rather than weeks.
