Mental Case 1.0

Mental Case 1.0 is regarded as a convenient and professional program which brings premium quality flash cards to your Mac and iPhone. Use it to learn a language, memorize trivia, or study for an exam.

Mental Case automatically generates lessons for you, syncs them to your iPhone or iPod touch, and even tells you when to study. Mental Case is also a drop box for useful information that you come across in the course of the day.

With built-in screen and iSight capture, Mental Case can collect just about any piece of information from the real and virtual worlds, and will remind you about it when you next sit down to study. You can enter text, drop in an image, take a screen shot, or snap a photo with your iSight. Your new mental note is scheduled to appear in future lessons, beautifully-presented slide shows which make studying something to look forward to.

Major Features:

1. Mental notes
   • Mental notes are very similar to traditional flash cards. You can add a small amount of text and/or an image to each mental note, and optionally include a prompt or question.
2. Repetitive learning
   • Mental notes get scheduled for future revision in a lesson. Mental Case uses an optimized algorithm to ensure that you get maximum memory retention for the time you spend studying.
3. Sharing and syncing
   • You can export (or print) mental notes in order to transfer them to your iPod or iPhone, upload to the web, or share with others.
4. Organize your notes
   • You can group your mental notes together in mental cases, which are like folders in the Finder. Drag-and-drop your notes from one case to another, or review an entire case in a slide show.
5. Quick entry
   • Mental Case includes quick note entry, which allows you to create new notes at any time using hot keys or a global menu, whether you are working in Mental Case or not.
6. Capture from screen or isight
   • Sometimes the information you want to put in your mental notes is already on your screen, or in a book. Don't bother typing it over, just use the built in screen capture facilities, or take a photo with your iSight.
7. Themed slide shows
   • Lessons are presented in themed slide shows with attractive transitions, making learning less of a chore. You can choose the themes and transitions yourself.
8. Preferences
   • Mental Case includes an advanced system of preferences for controlling how often notes are scheduled to appear in a lesson, and how long they are displayed in slide shows.
