Hey guys!
So in courses like German 2, it’s annoying to type something really long, then accidentally misspell the last word or something. This thread uses a GreaseMonkey script to display different words on the screen (especially for different alphabets/orthographies like Arabic and Chinese). Is there a way to, say, create an alternative for a certain word that would make it less frustrating to type words?
Thanks!
I’d certainly like the opportunity to re-type a sentence without being marked ‘incorrect’ in the case I’ve made a small typo somewhere in it, but trying to do this with a user-script would be a bit fraught, as it doesn’t quite sit within the current control flow.
It’d be possible to change it to allow, say 2 characters out of place in any answer over 40 characters (or whatever) and have it accepted as ‘correct’ but personally I’d rather it not do that, as it’s impossible to tell whether it was simply a typo (i.e. I knew and intended to type the correct answer, but hit a wrong key), or a genuine error (I forgot how to spell a word).
If your goal is to avoid the frustration of getting things wrong because of a typo (especially in long sentences), there is another option.
Memrise Turbo advances you to the next question as soon as it recognizes that you’ve entered a correct response. (It was designed to make reviewing sessions go faster, because it presents you with the next question as the audio is playing, instead of waiting for the audio to complete before moving on.) If you finish typing an answer without pressing enter, and it doesn’t advance, you’ll know you still have a typo.
Usually I also suggest Memrise Timer Disabler as well, since when you’re hunting for your typo, you don’t want to run out of time. However, I just looked at the code for the current version of Memrise Turbo, and it appears to have its own timer disabler.
I’m using a script called “Forgive Accidental Typos”.
You can find it here:
Basically it will give you a second opportunity in case you have one or two letters wrong.
Sometimes I get an error even when the sentence is correct but I have one punctuation missing, but it is very helpful in general.
