Enter Your Memory Verses with the Mnemonic

wow, cool, Andy! Thanks! That will be VERY helpful for me! :D Sadly I just finished my verses for today and cannot use it til tomorrow. :(

Awesome! I didn't do my verses yet today, so I went right over and tried it out. :) Thank you!

Awesome new feature, Alex! Since I work in an office daily, I can type the whole verse in about as much time as it takes me to think through the mnemonics; but I'm confident this new option will come in handy for a lot of people. It may be especially useful when learning brand new passages of Scripture and you don't have all of the Thy Vs. Thine parts perfectly memorized yet.

Thanks Alex! This is going to be so helpful. I mostly use my phone to do Memverse, because the only time I can find to work on them, uninteruped , is really early in the morning and I don't want to take to time to turn on the computer!
God Bless!

Dakota - Sounds good. I think my typing speed has improved dramatically just from using Memverse :) One caveat is that if the first letter prompts are visible, one can't use the first letter typing mode, since that would be a bit too easy; so depending on how the first letter prompts are setup in your account, it may or may not help with the Thy vs. Thine parts when the verse is new.

Thanks so much! I was just thinking recently that it would be nice to be able to type the first letter on rush days! Thanks again...I'm off to try it out ;)

EDIT: it's not working for me...am I doing something wrong???

Sweet! Great feature, Alex - can't wait to try it out - unfortunately I probably won't be able to until tomorrow, as we are going to Six Flags today because our tickets expire on the 11th. :( Oh well, I'll be able to work on BB verses on the way! :)

EDIT: It's not working for me either.

Rachel & BBJ12 - Did you try it with a verse that didn't have first-letter prompts? And did you put a space or other punctuation after typing the first letter?

This is neet! I will use it for my Bible Bee verses the most because that is how the sword drill was last year for the Bible Bee.

I'm having problems getting it working too Alex...

I clicked the little "x' on the prompt box, and I did put spaces in between the letters. When I started typing 1 letter, it looked like this: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... and so on.
Am I doing something incorrect?

Matthew - I'll look for your issue on Get Satisfaction (Feedback tab). You can give us more information over there and we'll see what we can do. Thanks!

Rachel - It only works if the prompts don't show up at all. You can't close the prompt box and then type the first letters, since then you've already seen the first letters...

oh okay. I'll switch it and see if that works.

EDIT: I turned off prompts under my profile and now it works. Thanks!

This is a great feature and it's very helpful for my little brother who can't type well. However, it would be really great if I could turn it off in my own account, as it messes up my system of using Memverse. If you can't make it optional, that's fine, of course.

@Alex - sweet! Thanks - that'll help.

I really like the new mnemonic way, Alex! So much faster. :D

I turned the option in my profile for prompts to "Never" and then back to "Learning", and now it is working. Thank you for this feature!

Glad you guys got it working.

Hannah - Remember that it won't register a first letter as a word until you press the space bar or a punctuation mark... so if you never want to use it, just don't press the space bar or a punctuation mark until you're done typing the whole word.

I've be a little behind in my reviewing, so when I started typing yesterday, it was strange to have Memverse finishing words for me. This is a nice touch, and can be a great help, but you're right Andy. Say for example you mean "Be" instead of "Because." You typed the first two letters, but you had the wrong word. All this means is that you (myself included) should not give yourself full credit for that verse until you memorize the correct words. Other then that good idea Alex.

Is this feature not meant to work on verses with feedback disabled?

It doesn't work on my account! I have turned off my first letter prompts (and have turned them on!)
If I am typing 1 Corinthians 10:31 I type S(space) and it does nothing but put .... How do i get it to work? This would be so helpful to use for my IPod! If I could figure it out!! :)

Haha! So the first few times i read this post I read one word. I see it's two now. Wow! Apparently, I need a class in paying attention!

Matthew - I'll need to check on that. I can't remember now....

Kylie - Actually, we tweaked the feature and then I edited the post -- so it wasn't your attention :)

EDIT: Matthew - I think it should work even with feedback disabled so that if you type the first letter of every word, then when you get to the end of the verse, it should register as correct. If it doesn't (and your first-letter prompts are also turned off), then let us know and we'll try to sort it out.

Haha! Ok :) I haven't tried it yet but I have some to do tomorrow so I will then! This was such a smart idea!

This is a great idea! I actually triggered it a couple of times and thought it was a mistake that had somehow crept in to the system :-) Glad it is supposed to be there -- it will be very helpful when I am typing out chapters such as Romans 16 with all those names. Although it's probably a good thing it wasn't available when I was trying to remember how myrrh was spelled -- I might have given up (ha!)

This is helpful but could help me not to memorize my verses as well.

It's working with feedback disabled verses now. For some reason, either it wasn't working yesterday, or I missed an error that I made in the text box.

This is great for those verses that are really long and I know well. Thank you

Great feature! Really helpful when you have 120 verses due for review on the same day!

Joan - Know how you feel! I have had nearly 400 before. :/

Thanks again for this awesome tool! I am now able to get review done faster so I can have more time doing Bible Bee on www.quizlet.com!

This feature sounds helpful, but I have found a different way to practice my verses. I don't like to type so I have been using windows speech recognition instead. This has worked well for me with a few exceptions. I'm currently memorizing Isaiah 40 using the new King James version. No matter how many times I've tried to get it corrected it in windows speech recognition, the software never gets the word "crooked" right in verse four. It usually spells it as "croaked". Overall though, I find it to be much better than typing.
Thank you so much for Memverse! It is a real blessing to me.
