Frequently Asked Questions
How do the different flashcard modes work?
Color Names mode displays color words in their corresponding colors (like 'RED' in red text). Custom Words mode lets you create personalized vocabulary lists for any subject. Emoji Words mode pairs emojis with descriptive text for visual learning. Each mode supports fullscreen display, speed control, and progress tracking for optimal learning experiences.
Can I control the speed and timing of the flashcards?
Yes! The speed slider ranges from 1 (very slow, about 5 seconds per card) to 10 (very fast, about 0.5 seconds per card). You can also disable auto-advance to manually control progression using keyboard arrows or on-screen buttons. This flexibility accommodates different learning styles and attention spans.
Is fullscreen mode available for distraction-free learning?
Absolutely! Click the fullscreen button to enter an immersive learning environment that eliminates distractions. In fullscreen mode, you can navigate with keyboard arrows (left/right), spacebar to pause/resume, and Escape to exit. The interface remains clean and focused on the flashcard content.
How many custom words can I add for vocabulary practice?
You can add up to 1000 custom words by entering them separated by commas or one per line in the text area. The tool automatically processes and validates your word list, removing duplicates and empty entries. Longer lists work great for extensive vocabulary building and spaced repetition learning.
Does the tool work offline and is my data private?
Yes, this is a completely client-side tool that works offline once loaded. Your custom word lists and settings never leave your device - nothing is uploaded to servers. All processing happens in your browser, ensuring complete privacy for your educational content and learning progress.
