Flashcards & Progress

Overview

The flashcard system is the core learning tool in Virtual Tikkun. Each verse in your bookmarked aliyah becomes a flashcard you can flip between views and mark as complete. As you work through the verses, the app tracks your progress so you always know how much of the aliyah you have mastered and how much remains.

How Flashcards Work

Each flashcard shows one verse from your bookmarked aliyah. You cycle between three views to test and reinforce your knowledge:

• Torah view — Displays the verse without vowels or trope marks. This is the test: can you read it as it appears in the actual Torah scroll?
• Chumash view — Displays the verse with full vowels and cantillation marks. This is the answer key that shows you exactly how the text should be read.
• Tikkun view — Shows both Torah and Chumash side by side, the traditional study format for comparing the two.

Navigate between verses using the ← and → arrow keys or the on-screen arrow buttons. Use the ↑ and ↓ arrow keys to cycle between the three view modes.

Marking Verses Complete

Below each flashcard is a Complete toggle switch. When you are confident you have mastered a verse, click the toggle to mark it as complete. A checkmark appears on the verse to confirm its status.

Progress is saved automatically to your account and syncs across all your devices. Whether you practice on your laptop at home and then review on your phone, your completion marks are always up to date.

Progress Tracking

Virtual Tikkun provides several ways to monitor your progress through an aliyah:

• Progress bar — Displayed at the bottom of the flashcard view, showing "X/Y verses" complete with a visual fill that grows as you advance.
• Sidebar verse list — A scrollable list of all verses in the aliyah, color-coded by status:

Click any verse in the sidebar list to jump directly to it.

Vowel Toggle

The vowel visibility toggle lets you show or hide vowel points (nikkud) independently of the current view mode. This is useful for gradually reducing your reliance on vowels as you become more comfortable with the text. For example, you can be in Chumash view but hide the vowels to create an intermediate challenge between the full Chumash and the bare Torah view.

Grid View

Click the grid icon in the toolbar to switch to Grid View. This displays thumbnails of all verses in your aliyah arranged in a grid layout, giving you a bird's-eye overview of your progress at a glance.

Each thumbnail is color-coded by completion status—green for complete, gray for not started. Click any verse thumbnail to jump directly to that verse in the Flashcards tab.

Real-time Sync

If you have a collaborator assigned to your bookmark (through an invitation), both users see each other's completion marks update in real time. When your student marks a verse as complete, you see the change immediately on your screen, and vice versa.

This real-time synchronization lets tutors monitor student progress without needing to meet in person. A tutor can check in at any time to see exactly which verses their student has mastered and which still need work.
