An Anki alternative for the words from your class

Anki is a flashcard program where you make and organize every card yourself. The computer version is free, you can change how cards look and when they come back, and it works for any subject.

Klink is a vocabulary companion for adults learning a language in a course. You scan your class notes and Klink turns them into a word list, then gives you several ways to practice it. It does not replace a class or a teacher.

Choose Anki if you want full control. Choose Klink if you want to practice the words from your own class without typing them in.
