FEATURES:

- no need to create or upload flashcards to the internet
- no special SW required to run on your Mac or PC

iMemento comes with some pre-installed flashcard sets that are meant to demonstrate the use of the program.
But the main intended use of iMemento is to learn your own flashcards.
The flashcard creation phase should not be underestimated: while creating new cards you already start to learn.
iMemento is also especially suited to study vocabularies for school. A lesson can be individually created on the Mac or PC. You can then learn it very comfortable with your iPhone/iPod Touch whenever you have some spare time (e.g. waiting for the bus).
HOW TO CREATE OWN FLASHCARDS:
Use a simple text editor that comes with your operating system to create own sets of flashcards.
HOW TO TRANSFER FILES:
To transfer files to your iPhone/iPod Touch it needs to be connected to your local network via WLAN. Your Mac or PC has to be connected to the same local network.
Now you can use the standard web browser that comes with your Mac or PC.
With the browser you can access the flashcard files on your iPhone/iPod Touch or upload flashcard files to your iPhone/iPod Touch.
FILE FORMATS:
iMemento is able to read simple text files in which the question and answer is on its own line and flashcards are separated by an empty line.
Furthermore iMemento can read csv- and tsv-files which can be exported from many other programs (e.g. Excel), so that you can migrate easily if you already use flashcards in another (desktop) flashcard program.
REQUIREMENTS:
NETWORK: Both, your Mac or PC, and your iPhone/iPod Touch need to be connected to the same local network. For the iPhone/iPod Touch this means that it has to be connected to your local network via WLAN. With a GSM connection alone it will not be possible to transfer files.
In a normal setup the Mac (or PC) and the iPhone/iPod Touch are both connected to the same network router. The iPhone/iPod Touch is connected via WLAN and the Mac (or PC) is connected via WLAN as well or via Ethernet.
DESKTOP APPLICATIONS: To setup the connection between the iPhone/iPod Touch and your Mac (or PC) you need a web browser. To create flashcards a simple text editor is required.
Both applications are typically already installed with your operating system. On Mac you can use the standard browser 'Safari' and the text editor 'Textedit'. On Windows (XP) use the 'Internet Explorer' as browser and 'Notepad' as text editor.
There is normally no need to install extra applications.
