It just has to be able to show a relevant subset of words to learn, not just a full super-sized list. With SuperMemo itself, I keep looking at it, but it feels like it would take longer to setup than to use it. And with that many old versions, it feels a little overwhelming to figure out whether there is enough useful 'recent' material for it.

I'm not sure if there is a patent on it though http://www.supermemo.com/english/contents.htm#Algorithm I haven’t made any comparative test,
