Does it mean you can use it to artificially increase your learned words counter?
How does it function exactly?
If this is what you are looking for:
It means that you do not have to go through 6 repetitions if you think you know the word reasonably well after, say, two repetitions. And you don’t need to be a contributor.

Ok, I’ve checked it a bit further. It seems to work well. It does increase your learned words count though.
So I guess if people wanted to cheat that would be an easy way to do so to alter their stats, right?
So what is the point in checking points/words ratio to filter cheaters, if they can do that? Wouldn’t it be kinda pointless? (with regards to the global leaderboard I’ve seen here maintained by some users)
If I click on this auto grow button I get a dead page.
Is that suppose to be like that?
Can you do this action in bulk from the level page?
I don’t really care about cheaters, it’s their loss - therefore I haven’t checked auto grow in respect to points. (I looked into quite a few pure cheating courses last week though - the sheer amount of people being into that nonsense is astonishing and impossible to get rid of anyway).
As to your other question. Looks like this in firefox. I click the Auto learn OFF flower and the word is considered as completely learned. I don’t think this works in bulk.
Your screenshot shows the Auto-Grow-Button (I think) that used to be offered by memrise itself. I never used it and as far as I know the official auto-learn feature does not exist anymore.
Thank for the quick replies.
It’s part of the script the “preview” and the “auto-grow” buttons because if you disable it they disappear from view.
If I want to auto learn a duolingo course I’ve already completed at duolingo, so there is no way to do it?
Is there another solution? Maybe creating a new course and mirroring its content?
I personally don’t like ignoring words - I use ignore only if I am really not interested in the content (like e.g. postal codes within https://www.memrise.com/course/52936/american-geography/) or I know an entry to be wrong.
I use “auto-grow” for words that seem simple to me in the first go. But I still want those words to show up in the regular review-cycle. I keep my own courses free of duplicates, but the occasional duplicate in other courses doesn’t bother me enough to weed them out. And often that vocabulary is not exactly the same but contains slightly different synonyms.
I would just use cooljingle’s script I suggested. Might take a litte while to cycle through the words once, but creating your own course will also take time and effort. If the course is already there - why not use it? And if you think you know the vocabulary anyway - why not take another course?
Memrise removed the auto grow or auto_learn (I think that came later) for normal users a longer time ago.
auto_learn is only available to the course owner and contributor anymore.
As a “normal user” who does not own the course, you only can use Cooljingle’s new auto learn script per word.
For Chinese (originally) there seems to be a auto ignore script where you can paste a list of words from other courses (the HSK courses with duplicated words content from the previous courses) and then you run the script and it ignores all given words.
I really like Cooljingle’s auto learn script (per word, F2 hotkey is available) as a very good alternative to have to ignore words, which neither are easy or I do not know well yet if they are more difficult.
At the moment I do not care that with PT Basic, DuoLingo PT, PT1-5 duplicates/triples words popup.
The more I practice not-so-easy words, the better I get, no matter what course I do the review for
I understand that you want to go for Memrise to refresh your already learned vocabulary and use proper spaced repetition SR.
Do you already know that Memrise has a 180 days SR limit? A bug - maximum review period is capped at 180 days
Yes, you would have to clone the DuoLingo course to become a course owner (or contributor).
And as this is not possible for a normal user, to use this is an auto programmatic way without Memrise staff, this is probably not the way you are looking forward (to manually duplicate a course word by word).
I heard that there is an AnkiSRS plugin, which can download a Memrise course and create a deck from???
There are Anki TTS plugins, which read the text from Anki flashcards, so you do not have to add audio.
I have not tried that, but you could give it a go.
It is best to use DuoLingo and Memrise in parallel (because of refreshing, 6 flower planting steps; it’s SR) and surely not to use Memrise for that course AFTER completing your Duo tree
Somehow Memrise is / was not thinking about all those special scenarios when they removed the /auto_learn URL for normal course users (e.g per level, full course, etc.), as complained by many others before.
I guess neither the Memrise staff nor the course owner and contributors would want that you can easily auto-clone their Memrise courses they have put all their time into?
Correct.
Maybe the duolingo courses were already duplicated into Anki by other users?
At Anki there would not be such an issue I bet, right? Being drill on an entirely new deck as if you already learned it, I mean.
From your and Foorgol responses I understand it’s more involved than just a few button clicks to create your own copy. It requires manual labor to achieve it on Memrise, yes? No way to automate the entire process (in the realm of Memrise)?
haha a little bit too late for that. You don’t know this stuff in advance.
I discovered Memrise and began to really use it only in an advanced stage in my studies. But I do indeed follow your advice on new courses taken from here on out.
