 There is no need to use a separate image processing program. With just a few clicks, you can do all this with StudyMinder Flash Cards’ built-in image editing features:

Organize and Study Your Flash Cards
If you’d rather not print out your flash cards to study them, it’s not required. You can easily manipulate your flash cards on screen, as if you were holding them in your hands. Even better, your electronic flash cards won’t get bent, folded or lost.
- Use your mouse to drag flash cards anywhere in the edit window
- Click the Q/A icon on each flash card to flip it over to the other side (or use the Ctrl-F key to flip)
- Use the Zoom feature to make them bigger or smaller
- Drag the flash cards into one of five colored card boxes to organize them into groups
The Leitner Method of Flash Card Study
StudyMinder Flash Cards supports the Leitner Method of flash card study, a simple and effective technique to increase the speed at which you learn the information on your flash cards.
 Here’s how it works. Next to the flash cards edit window are five colored boxes, numbered 1 through 5. The number on each box lets you know how many cards it holds. All new cards you make start in Box 1.
Click through each of your cards and quiz yourself, just as you would if you were holding a set of printed flash card. Pick a card, guess at the answer and then flip it over. If you are correct, drag the card into Box 2. If wrong, the card goes back into Box 1. When you are finished, the more difficult cards will be in Box 1, and the easier ones in Box 2.
Now go through the cards in each box again. When cards in Box 2 are answered correctly, move them to Box 3. If you answer incorrectly, drag that card back into Box 1 and start over again. Continue at your own pace until you have moved all the flash cards into Box 5.
The Leitner Method ensures that you review difficult cards more frequently than easier ones. This is the fastest way to learn all of them with the least amount of study. When all the cards are in Box 5, you should know them quite well.
StudyMinder Flash Cards has many features designed specifically for taking advantage of the Leitner Method of flash card study.
- Each card has an icon at the top left that shows you the side you are looking at: “A” for the Answer side or “Q” for Question side. Click the icon to flip the card. The color of the icon matches the color of the box that card is currently stored in.
- Select the “Put away all cards” command to move all cards back into their current boxes
- Double click any box to take out all the cards in that particular box
- Additional commands let you Stack, Cascade or Scramble the cards
- When you save your card set to a file, the locations of each card are also saved, so you can come back and continue your studies right where you left off.
Need a Hint?
 StudyMinder Flash Cards has additional features to help you review your cards and make studying more fun. When you select the “Show Study Buttons” you can do more than just guess at the answers.
 Click the True/False button to flip the card over. The answer shown may be correct, or it may be the answer from a different card. Press the “T” or “F” key to indicate your answer. The program will tell you if answered correctly.
 Click the Hangman button to play a game of hangman. The letters in the answer are revealed as you type them in.
 Or, you can click the Exact Answer button, and then type in the answer exactly. This test feature is ideal for studying spelling and vocabulary words.
 You can also click the Peek icon. The card will flip over with the answer hidden. Press any key to reveal one letter a time. Letters are uncovered in random order. Clicking the Esc key when you think you know the answer will display all the letters. The Peek feature is especially useful for studying foreign language words and
phrases, since entering these characters from the keyboard may require multiple keystrokes.
