Flipping pages section (Flipping pages)

General description of the modes

Flipping pages section (Flipping pages) includes several operating modes: manual or auto flipping pages, listening, repetition with remote control.

v_01

0. Manual Flipping - manual page-flipping mode

Next come the auto page-flipping modes. The text in fields #3 and #4 is automatically converted to speech (Text-To-Speech).
These modes imply the use of your device's speakers or headphones.

To control these modes (except for mode 4. Auto Repeat), you will need a remote control from a selfie stick or a Xiaomi Smart Band that has a smartphone camera control feature (Camera).

1. Listening to text - listening to text

In this mode, the text in fields #3 and #4 is read aloud and then the page is flipped. Statistics are not recorded.

If you start this mode in the Pending section (Pending), which includes the subsections: Edit (Edit: 910–929), Cleared (Cleared: 930–949), Postpone (Postpone: 950–969) and New (New) , then the processed (voiced and flipped) page will be moved to the Postpone section (Postpone: 950–969) with a code 960.

In any other section of the app, including Repeat Today section (Repeat Today) the section code will not change.

In this mode, you can use a remote control to: pause reading, resume reading, go back to the previous page.

v_02

2. Listening to #4 - listening only to the field #4

In this mode, the text is read aloud only in field #4, and then the page is flipped. Otherwise, its properties and behavior are the same as in the previous mode.

v_03

3. Listening to Words - listening to words

Here, the text in fields #3 and #4 is read aloud and then the page is flipped.
The difference from the two previous modes is that the curtain-opening timer also takes into account the synonyms in field #7 and the text in the hidden field #4.

v_04

4. Auto Repeat - auto repetition

This is an automatic repetition mode. The text in fields #3 and #4 is read aloud and then the page is flipped. At the same time, the next repetition interval changes and statistics are updated.

A specific feature of this mode is that, regardless of whether your answer was correct or incorrect, the next repetition interval will increase by the minimum value calculated by a special algorithm for this mode.

In this mode, the remote control does not work. We do not recommend using this mode regularly for repeating material. It can be useful when other methods of repetition are unavailable. More about the use cases of this mode will be explained in our videos on the channel @RepetitoolClub.

v_05

5. Repeat w/ Remote Control - repetition with a remote control

This is a repetition mode controlled by a remote, which emulates pressing the left button on the Pop-up Button Bar.

We do not recommend using this mode without a remote.

In this mode, the text in fields #3 and #4 is read aloud and then the page is flipped. At the same time, the next repetition interval changes and statistics are updated.

Curtain opening timer also takes into account the synonyms in field #7 and the length of the text in the hidden field #4.

In this mode, use the remote control to perform the following commands: put a mark "Don't know", pause repetition, resume repetition. If, while listening to the text in fields #3 and #4, you do not press the remote button even once, this means that you know the correct answer behind the curtain, and the interval of the next repetition will be increased.

v_06

Enabling and activating modes

You can enter the Flipping pages section (Flipping pages) by entering command code 990 on the Interval Keyboard (Interval Keyboard) or by selecting it from the drop-down list (click the red arrow 🔻 on the display) the item 990 - ON/OFF Flipping pages.

On the screen of the Interval Keyboard (Interval Keyboard) a message will appear for a few seconds: "Choose Mode" (Choose Mode). Then a red arrow (🔻) will appear and blink several times, inviting you to open the list and select one of the modes.

To enable a mode, select one of the items from the drop-down list, then click the green check button "Ok".
On the Interval Keyboard screen a message will appear: "Flipping is ON" (Flipping is ON), i.e. the selected mode is enabled. Arrows will turn orange on the left and the right buttons of the Pop-up Button Bar.

You can close the Interval Keyboard (Interval Keyboard) in this case by clicking the green check button "Ok", or clicking the button "Cancel" twice, or simply clicking outside the Interval Keyboard area on your device's screen.

To disable the selected mode, enter command code 990 on the Interval Keyboard (Interval Keyboard) and click the green check button "Ok".
On the Interval Keyboard screen a message will appear for a few seconds: "Flipping is OFF" (Flipping is OFF).

v_07

When you have enabled one of the modes (except 0. Manual Flipping), you need to activate the mode, i.e. launch it in auto flipping mode. This can be done in several ways:

• If you want to leave field #4 open and activate the mode from the next page — click the right button on the Pop-up Button Bar (Pop-up Button Bar).

v_08

• If you want to leave field #4 open and activate the mode from the current page — click the "Speech" icon (Speech) on the Text-To-Speech panel (Text-To-Speech) under field #3.

  Note: do not click the "Speech" icon (Speech) under field #4 to activate the mode. Clicking this icon will stop auto-flipping for the current page. This is done so that you can listen to the text in field #4 several times without worrying that the page will automatically flip. To continue auto-flipping, click the right button on the Pop-up Button Bar (Pop-up Button Bar)  or click the "Hide" icon (Hide) on the toolbar if you are working with the curtain.

v_09

• If you want to close field #4 with the curtain — click the "Hide" icon (Hide) on the toolbar. The curtain will appear, and the mode will be activated.

v_10

Note: To return field #4 to a permanently open state, you must turn off the page-flipping mode by command code 990, and then turn it on again.

v_11

Putting the mode on pause manually

• If you are working with the curtain and it is closed — click the curtain, and the mode will pause.

v_12

• If you are working without the curtain or it is already open — click the Interval Keyboard button (Interval Keyboard) on the Pop-up Button Bar (Pop-up Button Bar).

v_13

• You can also click the "Pause" icon (Pause), which appears to the right of the "Speech" icon (Speech) on the Text-To-Speech panel (Text-To-Speech) during playback of field #3 or #4. But this is not always convenient if the text in the fields is short.

v_14

Before moving on to working with the remote control, please note:
when one of the modes is enabled (except 0. Manual Flipping) ), while you are on the page of the repetition (Repeat Page), you will not be able to adjust the sound volume using the physical buttons on your device. These buttons emulate pressing the remote control button in this case.

Therefore, to adjust the playback volume, when one of the Auto Flipping pages modes is enabled, exit the page of the repetition (Repeat Page) by clicking the "Back" button (Back) on your device. Adjust the volume and re-enter the page of the repetition (Repeat Page). The mode will activate automatically.

v_15

Working with the remote control

Let's clarify once again which modes support the remote control:

1. Listening to text

2. Listening to field #4

3. Listening to Words

5. Repeat w/ Remote Control

Listening modes

1. Listening to text

2. Listening to field #4

3. Listening to Words

• To activate an already enabled mode — press the remote button 2 times. The selected mode will activate from the current page as if you manually clicked the "Speech" icon (Speech) on the Text-To-Speech panel (Text-To-Speech) under field #3.

• To pause the mode — press the remote button once.

• To resume the mode — press the remote button once again.

• To go back to the previous page:

  • If the mode is paused — press the remote button 2 times quickly.
  • If the mode is playing — press the remote button 3 times.

v_16

Repetition mode

5. Repeat w/ Remote Control

• To activate an already enabled mode — press the remote button 3 times.

• If during playback of field #3 you are not sure of the correct answer hidden in field #4, or you gave an answer but during playback of field #4 it turned out to be incorrect — press the remote button once.
  When the current page is flipped, the next daily interval and statistics will be calculated as if you pressed the left button "not Know" on the Pop-up Button Bar (Pop-up Button Bar). Accordingly, this page will go into the minute repeat plan.

• If your answer was correct — do not press the remote button.

v_17

Putting playback on pause (nuances)

Follow the instructions carefully:

• If during playback of the page (field #3 or #4)  you pressed the remote button once, it means you put a mark "Don't know". If then you want to pause the mode and press the remote button one more time - the "Don't know" mark will reset.

v_18

• If during playback you want to pause the mode and have not pressed the remote button before (i.e. no "Don't know" mark), then to pause press the remote button 2 times quickly.

• If the curtain was closed when the mode is set to pause, it opens.

• To resume playback — press the remote button once. Playback will start from field #3, so you will have additional time to set the "Don't know" mark if necessary, because with an open curtain there will be no extra pause before playback of field #4.

v_19

After a little practice, you will handle this easily.

Remember the main rule:
If you pause the mode, the "Don't know" mark is reset.

Additional useful information

When you work with one of the Auto Flipping modes (Auto Flipping), your device's screen will not turn off until the list of the selected pages runs out.

If you're using the app with a remote control and headphones and aren't looking at the device's screen, reduce the screen brightness using any available method. This will significantly reduce your device's battery drain.

v_20

If you need to interrupt your work and exit the app, press the "Home" button (Home) or press the "Back" button (Back) once and then "Home" button (Home). Your mode settings will be saved.

v_21

If you press the "Back" button (Back) once, you will exit the page of repetition (Repeat Page) and you will get to the page with the list of the selected pages. In this case, the settings for the current mode are saved. However, if you press the "Back" button (Back) again and exit this list, the mode settings will be reset.
