Review with flashcards

Capturing words is half the work — flashcards are how they actually stick. SnapVerbo’s review uses spaced repetition: cards you find easy come back less often, the ones you struggle with come back sooner.

Open the Flashcards tab

Tap Flashcards in the bottom navigation. The screen is titled “Flashcards” and it summarises everything that’s reviewable today.

The top card tells you the headline:

“X cards due today” — at least one wordbook has cards waiting.
“No cards due right now” — nothing’s overdue, but you can still review new cards from any wordbook.

It also shows how many you’ve already reviewed today (“So far today you’ve reviewed N cards”) and a recommendation — the wordbook the app thinks you should hit first.

Pick a deck and start

Below the summary card, you’ll see one or more decks. Each is a row with a Review button (or Start if no cards are due yet, just new ones):

All words — every entry across every wordbook, due + new.
Recent words — only what you captured in the last few days. Great for “what did I just snap?”
Wordbooks with cards due — listed first.
Other wordbooks — listed second.

Each row shows “Due: X · New: Y” under the title. Tap Review (or anywhere on the row) to start the session.

The two special decks — All words and Recent words — get their own page: see All Words & Recent Words decks.

Inside a flashcard session

The card shows the source word. Below it: “Tap card to reveal answer.”

Tap the card and the back fills in:

Translation (unless the card is a same-language note).
Pronunciation (IPA / phonetic respelling) if you’ve added one for English entries.
A 🔊 speaker icon — tap to hear on-device TTS (only if you’ve enabled “Read aloud” pronunciation in Settings).
The definition / examples / Word Roots block from the AI lookup, if you have one. Tap Show more to expand usage notes, alternatives, collocations.
Your note — your personal note, if any.
Source Context — the app you shared from, the page title, the URL, and the original photo.

Above the card you’ll see “Card N of M” and a running “Due: X · New: Y” count of what’s left.

Rate the card

After revealing the back, the prompt at the bottom reads “How did it feel?” with four buttons:

Again — you didn’t know it. Comes back soon.
Hard — you got there but it was a struggle.
Good — solid. Standard interval.
Easy — you knew it cold. Pushes the next review further out.

Be honest — the algorithm only works if your ratings reflect reality.

Finish the session

When you finish the last card, you’ll see the Session complete screen with:

“Cards reviewed this session: N”
A breakdown — “Again: X · Hard: X · Good: X · Easy: X”
A Back button to return to the deck list.

The app silently:

Updates your daily review counter and the Flashcards tab badge.
Triggers a sync (so your progress is backed up).
After the first ~10 cards, suggests turning on Daily review reminders if you haven’t already — see Daily review habit.

Resetting progress

If you want a deck to start over from scratch — “clear all my review history and treat every card as new again” — that’s a separate operation. See Reset review progress.
