I have developed a small window application called “FlashCard” which can be used as learning aid using response system.
Flashcard or flash card is a piece of paper which has question on each card and an answer overleaf. Flashcard can be use to learn vocabulary, formulas, foreign languages, technical or domain terms etc. This system was developed to maximize efficiency of studying memorization-intensive subjects.
This application is small capsule like interface occupy very little space of your screen. I usually run this application at top-center of the screen. Application reads questions and answers from pipe (|) separated text file, and its display those question and respected answers sequentially or randomly.

You can select option to display those questions sequentially or randomly. Right click on capsule, and check/uncheck the popup menu “Random Order”.

You don’t need to run any kind of setup to run this application. Just unzip the attached flashcard.zip to any folder and run the .exe file. Application will ask you to provide path for flashcard text file (which will have all questions and answers). And thereafter, application will display those question and answers in the small capsule.
If you want to create your own flashcard text file, you just require any text editor. Open your favorite text editor and write down your question and respective answers separated by pipe (|). Please read ReadMe.txt for more details.
I developed this application in Delphi 5. I choose Delphi as it generates native binary (EXE) which require no depended DLLs to run and thence, perfect development environment to develop small utility applications.
I hope you will find this learning aid useful. If you are facing any problem or have any suggestion please do feel free to contact me.
