Question

Flashcard programs

Oct 8, 2018 7:56PM PDT

I am looking for a flashcard program. I want to use photos, but the only programs I have found that can do this only use small cards. I want to use large photos. I would also like to be able to combine groups of cards when desired. For example it is better to start off with five or so cards at a time, and then combine them when recall get better.

I have already searched on Google. The programs listed use small cards, and I would like to use large photos. So I asked to see if anyone had a solution.

ANKI for example.

https://youtu.be/q08x4t7zhcw shows some large images or photos. It appears one can create new decks as well.

If you get very particular my bet is you'll have to create your very own flashcard app.

This is exactly what I am looking for. I wish I could create my own app, I would need to learn programming.

I seem to have left out the link for a VB.NET flashcard app.

I downloaded the program, and it is in my Start menu, but when I click on it nothing happens. I have sent two messages to their technical support, but got no replies.

I tried again, and got a long error message. I tried to crop it out in Paint, but couldn't. It said, "Failed to create OpenGL context for format... This is most likely caused by not having the necessary graphics drivers installed. Install a driver providing OpenGL 2.0 or higher, or make sure the ANGLE Open GL ES 2.0 emulation libraries are available in the application executable's directory or in a location listed in PATH"

That's something

I'd google about. I've run into folk where their PC is missing drivers and they seem to have never ending problems. It appears this app needs a PC with proper drivers and OpenGL. That's not unusual.
