By utilizing the SM-2 algorithm, it's designed to optimize your learning for you behind the scenes. Unlike topic-specific learning programs and apps, you can tailor Anki to learn anything you want, from medicine and law to artwork and geography. Anki is a flashcard program that speeds up your learning and raises your efficiency.
