Traditional Flashcards (e.g. Anki)
Manual Creation Hassle: Spending hours copying, pasting, looking up definitions, and compiling card decks instead of actually reading.
Lack of Personalization: Ready-made decks are generic word lists that fail to map to your personal reading interests or professional needs.
Decontextualized Fatigue: Memorizing words in isolation with clinical examples, leading to high cognitive friction and review backlog dread.
