A Brainscape alternative with lessons, typing and graded exams
Brainscape is a flashcard app built on confidence-based spaced repetition: you rate how well you knew each card and it schedules the next review. Type to Study uses a Leitner schedule too, but the cards come from a course it builds for you.
What's different
With Brainscape you usually make or find the decks. With Type to Study, flashcards are created from every key term and every exam-style question in your course, then reviewed on a schedule: missed cards return the same session and next day, known cards after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days.
Because the lessons exist in the same place, you can go from a card you missed back to the lesson it came from, and from there to the tutor.
When Brainscape is the better fit
If you already have the content and just want a polished flashcard app with decks from other learners and mobile apps, Brainscape is a focused, proven tool for that.
