FSRS vs confidence-based repetition

Brainscape spaces cards using self-reported confidence (CBR). wordlet uses FSRS — trained on large review datasets — to predict memory decay from your actual grades (again, hard, good, easy). Same goal — review before you forget — but FSRS adapts from behavior, not a 1–5 confidence tap alone.

More than flip-and-rate

Beyond flashcards, wordlet offers Learn mode (mixed drills per card), quiz, typing, listen with TTS, match, and Read mode — AI passages built from your deck with tap-to-translate layers. Greek Stress and Articles modes drill accent and gender where Brainscape stays generic.

AI reading from your own deck

Read mode is not a separate marketplace deck — it generates fresh passages from the words you are actually studying, with word, sentence, and full-passage glosses precomputed. Unknown words can join your deck in one tap for future FSRS review.

Free core study and sync

wordlet does not gate FSRS, Read mode, or study modes behind Pro. Build decks, import plain-text lists, enroll from the course catalog, and sync across web, iOS, and Android at no cost.

Move from Brainscape to wordlet

  1. Export or copy the cards you want from Brainscape (when export is available) or rewrite key lists manually.
  2. Format as term and definition per line, separated by tab, comma, or dash.
  3. Sign in to wordlet, open a deck, and use Import to paste or upload a .txt file.
  4. Confirm the preview and import.
  5. Run Learn mode for varied drills, or Read mode after you have enough vocabulary for a passage.
  6. Rate cards honestly — FSRS uses your grades, not confidence sliders, to schedule reviews.
