The spelling quizzer is a very simple, text-based program that should run on any PC. Just download the file to your desktop and double-click on it.
Aug '04: This version 2.2 has moved the input and output to a more slick-looking windows interface, which should eliminate the freezups of the original. I've also added seventh-chords to the questions sets.
Right now the program quizzes scales, intervals, triads, seventh-chords, diatonic triads, and diatonic seventh-chords.
Though the text interface may initially appear very crude and “unmusical,” I think this program has a few strengths.
-- Text-based quizzing can go much faster than a point-and-click interface (for those who can type, anyway.)
-- The material is broken into manageable units, and I’ve tried to avoid annoying, useless elements like diminished octaves.
-- The “Torturematic Quizzing Algorhythm” repeatedly comes back to missed problems.
Have fun, happy studying!
