Multiple choice lets you recognize the answer. Typing makes you produce it. Interact's typed answer exercises put a blank in front of you and nothing else, which is the most honest test of whether you actually know something.
How it works
1. A sentence with a blank
Each exercise is a real sentence with the key term missing. Context stays, the answer doesn't.
2. You type what you know
No word bank, no choices to eliminate. Recognition is easy; recall is what exams and real life demand.
3. Grading forgives typos
Fuzzy matching accepts small misspellings, so "mitochondira" still counts. You're being tested on knowledge, not keyboard accuracy.
4. Missed ones come back sooner
Every typed answer rides the same spaced repetition schedule as your flashcards. Miss it and it returns soon; nail it and it moves further out.
When typing beats flipping
Exact facts are where typed answers earn their keep: vocabulary, dates, formulas, function names, terminology. If "close enough" isn't good enough, make it a typed answer.
For concepts and explanations, regular flashcards are the better tool, and quizzes are best for tricky distinctions. Interact mixes all of them in one queue, so each idea gets the format that fits it.
Common questions
Where can I play typed answers?
On the web, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. On Apple TV the system keyboard supports dictation, so you can even speak your answer at the couch.
Can AI generate typed answer exercises?
Yes. The generator produces them alongside flashcards and quizzes when you feed it a video, PDF, article, or your notes.
Is it free?
Creating typed answers by hand is unlimited on every plan. AI generation includes 10 free runs a month.
Isn't typing slower than flipping a card?
A little, and that's the point. The extra effort of producing the answer is exactly what makes it stick harder than recognition ever will.
