ScriptMaker is a tool for script-writers and directors. It allows you to develop your script as well as format it properly, by integrating the process of story development with script writing. Story-planning is done using 'virtual index-cards'. ScriptMaker knows which parts of your script are linked with which index-cards, so if you alter the order of the cards the corresponding parts of the script get swapped around too. The descriptive version of the script is kept automatically up-to-date in step with the shooting script, because of the way ScriptMaker stores '2 scripts in 1'.

Make your Mac invincible

Flashcards are a great tool for training your brain. Two-sided cards are used: one side has the question, or problem, while the reverse side of a card holds the answer. Flashcards help you memorize facts; the more you see a question or problem, the faster your recollection of the answer or solution becomes.

It used to be a laborious process to create flashcards. You needed cards, pens or markers and perhaps several types of highlighters. It took hours!

Flashcards are still incredibly useful learning tools, and it’s never been easier to make your own flashcards. In this article, we’ll show you how to make digital flashcards, how to make flashcards in Word, and even some online flashcards platforms you may not have thought of!

What are the benefits of using flashcards?

There was a time when studying, making notes, and flashcards all required pen and paper. Now students use apps to record notes, create flashcards, and write term papers or essays.

Apps are more familiar and easier to use – especially when studying for an exam or working together on an academic project. Apps are far more convenient for collaboration and sharing notes and flashcards.

Instead of hastily scribbled paper notes, app-based flashcards make it easier to access more detail, link to journals, documents, articles, and resources, while also making it easy to share and collaborate with others studying the same subject.

Flashcards are still the best type of tool for learning facts, and apps make learning via flashcards much better. You can see a written answer, but apps make it easier for the answer to be a picture, video, or link.

Create your own flash cards

The basic flashcard template is simple: one side of the card has a question, like “who was the first President of the United States?,” and the reverse side of the card has the answer, “George Washington.”

You can still use physical cards for this, but Wokabulary may be your best bet if you’re using flashcards for learning a language. Trying to learn a new language is hard, and flashcards are one of the more popular reasons to use flashcards!

Wokabulary makes creating and using flashcards really simple. It supports over 100 languages, and allows you to build a custom set of flashcards. You can choose to focus on certain subjects, speech patterns, and alter the difficulty level as you learn. It’s a great way to prepare for a school or business trip!

There are also quizzes you can take in Wokabulary, and statistics to encourage you on your learning journey.

Here’s how to make flashcards with Wokabulary:

1. Open Wokabulary on your Mac
2. Choose the language you’d like to learn, and the language you speak most fluently
3. At the bottom of the Wokabulary window, select “Add Word”
4. Enter the word in the language you’re learning
5. Enter the word in your native tongue
6. Add tags (if desired)
7. Add a comment (if desired)

You can also import lists in CSV format, which is a great way to import a lot of data. We like the manual creation; tags and comments can be helpful. You can tag things to their genre, like ‘travel,’ and add comments like a phonetic pronunciation to help you on your journey.

Make cards a lot more memorable

When creating flashcards, it’s important to consider how you learn. Many of us don’t respond well to text – but images help. A combination of text and images can also be useful when used appropriately.

Consider a flashcard that asks where the Mona Lisa is displayed. You may remember it’s the Louvre Museum in Paris – but all your brain can remember is that the Louvre has that neat glass pyramid in front of it. You can’t think of the name of the museum itself, but you can recall what it looks like.

A flashcard with the name and associated image will be helpful, here. The front could have the question – “where is the Mona Lisa displayed?” – while the back would have a picture of the Louvre Museum and a picture of its front facade with the famous glass pyramid.

Create mental connections

Images and grouping flashcards via categories are great ways to create a mental connection, which is helpful for training your mind to recall things faster. Again, keep in mind what is the best way for you to learn.

Studies is a fantastic app for creating flashcards for all kinds of purposes. It allows you to create flashcards for any purpose, and add image, video, or audio files to the cards! Here’s how to create flashcards in Studies:

1. Open Studies on your Mac
2. Select “New Stack” to create a new section for flashcards
   Note: Stacks are displayed on the left side of the window
3. Select “New Note”
4. On the right side of the window is the ‘question’ – or front – of the flashcard. Enter your question, and add an image or video if you like.
5. Tap on the ‘answer’ card on the right side of the screen, and provide the correct answer.

If you’ve been using Mental Case for Mac or iOS, Studies allows you to import your entire flashcard stack.

Collaborative study is a great way to share knowledge, test your abilities, help others and gain insights to other research you may not have uncovered.

Break complex concepts into multiple questions

Mac Index Card App Software

With an app as robust as Studies, it can be tempting to create single cards with tons of data in the answer field. This is a pretty big mistake!

Flashcards should be broken down into single-use question and answer segments. If you need to know multiple facts about a subject, it’s better to create multiple cards, each with their own questions and answers.

It would be tempting to use the Mona Lisa card to note Leonardo da Vinci painted it, or that it is believed to be a painting of an Italian noblewoman named Lisa Gherardini. All told, these facts should be on three different cards; the more info you pack into one flashcard, the harder it can be to remember it all.

3x5 Index Card App

When taking a test, you may be asked only who the painting is believed to be a portrait of. If your flashcard is packed with other details, you may only remember the rest: it’s at the Louvre, and da Vinci painted it. A flashcard directly referencing who the painting may be a portrait of helps you recall the information directly.

How to make flashcards in Word

1. Open Word on your Mac
2. Select “Page Layout”
3. Select “Size”
4. Choose the size you want your flashcards to be (3'x5' (76mm x 127mm) or 5'x7' is normal)
   
5. On the page, enter your question; edit the text size and style however you like
6. Position your cursor at the end of your sentence and click Control+Enter on your Mac keyboard
7. On the new card that appears, enter the answer to the question from the first card

This creates a single file for a flashcard. You can save this file to your Mac, and follow the instructions to create new cards for every question and answer card you’d like to create. Word is a really simple, straightforward method for creating flashcards, and can accept images or videos as well.

Best Index Card App For Mac

What about online flashcard makers?

There are several online flashcard platforms to choose from. Quizlet, Cram, and Adobe Spark are all good options. Each are easy to use, and it’s convenient to have an online home for your flashcards. The allure is understandable.

Mac Index Card App

Unfortunately, each asks quite a bit of you. You will need an account for each platform, and unless you have an internet connection, your cards may be inaccessible. Most are also really basic, too, and don’t allow you to add pictures or video for the question or answer.

When you need to study, flashcards are an amazing tool. Whether it's for school, work, travel, or any other reason, flashcards can be extremely helpful.

Both of the apps noted here, Wokabulary and Studies, are available for free via a seven day trial of Setapp. In addition to these apps, you’ll have unlimited access to over 175 apps in the Setapp catalog, which is only $9.99 per month once your free trial ends. Give Setapp a try today!
