Typing an answer makes you commit to it before you see the real one, which is good practice for spelling, vocabulary and exams where you have to write. Choose Typing under how to answer, before a session or in its Options. Memorics remembers your choice for next time.
Typing an answer
- On a basic card, type the answer in the field below the card.
- On a steps card, type one step after another.
- On a cloze card, each gap becomes a field in the text. Tab moves between them.
Check your answer with Ctrl Enter (⌘ Enter on a Mac). Plain Enter starts a new line, for answers that are lists. When the field isn’t focused, Space focuses it.
Cards with math, code blocks or only an image, and image occlusion cards, can’t be typed. They’re revealed as flashcards instead, with a “Not typed” hint.
How it’s checked
After checking, you see what you typed, marked letter by letter, with a score, and the right answer with what was missing. A perfect answer shows only what you typed, all in green.
Memorics is lenient about what doesn’t matter for knowing the answer:
- Spaces, kinds of quotes and dashes, and punctuation at the end don’t count.
- A wrong capital or a missing accent, like “muller” for “Müller”, counts as half a mistake.
- What the answer has in parentheses may be left out, so “give” is right for “(to) give”.
- An answer that’s a list, separated by lines, commas, semicolons or slashes, can be typed in any order.
You still rate yourself
The score only helps you judge. You always choose the rating yourself, since you know best whether a typo was a slip or a gap in what you know. Once every part was typed without a mistake, pressing Enter rates the card Good.
