Prior work on spaced repetition has focused on vocabulary retention, but few studies examine its effect on conceptual transfer. Here we test whether spacing improves the ability to apply a principle to novel problems, not just recall it.

What you'll dictate

Three jobs, one hotkey

Papers, reading notes, grants: research is mostly writing. Whisperly turns your talking into clean text, right where you work.

Write

Draft the paper

Talk the argument through while the logic is clear. Whisperly turns it into clean academic prose you can tighten and cite.

Methods
We recruited 120 participants and assigned them to a spaced or a massed practice condition.
  • Condition A: spaced over three sessions
  • Condition B: massed in one session
  • Transfer test: a novel problem set
Check: report the exclusion criteria in the appendix.
Read

Capture lit-review notes

Talk your notes as you read instead of stopping to type. Whisperly keeps the idea and the citation, structured for later.

Cepeda et al. (2006)
Meta-analysis: spacing beats massing across 254 studies, and the effect grows with the retention interval.
  • Key: the optimal gap scales with the delay
  • Gap: little on conceptual transfer
  • Use in the intro as the strongest prior
Follow up: read the 2008 replication.
Correspond

Grants and collaborators

Dictate the email to your co-author or the grant paragraph while it's fresh. Clear and ready, not a draft you circle for days.

Hi Dana,

I've drafted the methods. The main open question is whether to report the transfer test as primary or secondary. I lean primary. Can you review it before Friday?

Thanks.

It learns your vocabulary

The terms your field runs on: authors, methods, jargon. Add them once and they spell right in every paper, note, and grant, synced across your devices.
