Audiodecks

An audiodeck is a collection of related audiocards plus the settings that control how your daily sets are built from them. Each audiocard has a front (a prompt) and a back (the response), and each audiodeck turns those audiocards into sets

You can keep separate audiodecks for separate subjects — one for Spanish vocabulary, another for medical terms, another for a class you teach. Each audiodeck has its own schedule, its own review settings, and its own podcast feed.

How an audiodeck becomes sets

Once an audiodeck has audiocards, Speedpast generates one set per day on the days you choose. Each set introduces a few new audiocards and mixes in older ones that are due for review, using spaced repetition so material moves into long-term memory efficiently. New audiocards are introduced gradually rather than all at once, so the amount you add to an audiodeck doesn't change how long each set runs.

For more on how review timing works, see the FAQ.

Settings you control

When you create or edit an audiodeck, you can configure:

• Name and color — how the audiodeck is labeled across the app.
• Days of the week — which days a new set is generated automatically (for example, weekdays only).
• New audiocards per day — how many unstudied audiocards are introduced in each new set.
• Default front and back languages — the languages new audiocards use for text-to-speech, so you don't have to set them each time.
• Study order — whether new audiocards are introduced oldest-first (the default) or newest-first.
• Review schedule — the pattern of how often each audiocard is repeated across sets. Choose a built-in schedule or define your own custom one.
• Audio pacing — how many times each side is repeated and how long the pauses are between repetitions, between front and back, and between audiocards.

Pausing and sharing

You can pause an audiodeck at any time to stop new sets without losing your progress — handy for vacations or busy weeks — and resume whenever you're ready.

You can also publish an audiodeck so others can study it, either publicly in the Audiodecks Library or restricted to specific people. Publishing shares a snapshot, so your editable original is never exposed. See Getting Started for Teachers for more on sharing audiodecks with students.
