I tried and could not enter "Using Memrise" under "SRS".

I looked at the Spreadsheet and believed I would not be able to perform "Transcribing" on an "Audio only" material.

Maybe I broke the Spreadsheet? Version 7.3. Has anyone tried the Spreadsheet? Did it work fine for you?


Are you using in google docs or did you try to download it?
As it stands, given the modifications that were built into it, it will only work on google docs.

1) Try memrise now it is available for the control group
2) Audio was renamed audio only which led to a error. Now fixed and available for both.

He said some emails were bouncing, I had to send him a PM with my email and then he messaged me back (on here) with my assignments :)

It is irrelevant where I was using it because I was seeing design/setup bugs like the two I mentioned; you can spot them just by looking at the design/setup without actually using the spreadsheet. Anyway, Aug 1st is less than a day away so you and others will be using the spreadsheet for real and you will get feedback. Thanks for your work!

PS. Radioclare mentioned Google Docs being different from MS Excel. I remember you talking about testing the spreadsheet in Excel? So there will be an Excel version for her?

At this point in time, I'l publish a cleaned up version tonight for the Study for Google docs and do not plan to spend the time developing/supporting a different version for Excel (I see no Radioclare post in this thread, by the way, was her comment elsewhere?). If I have time - I may create another version, but I've spent way too much time on this already.

Thanks for the input and feedback in testing!

See the last paragraph in this post of her log. (It's my first time using Google spreadsheets, too).




I always feel very excited when a 6WC starts, and now there's double the excitement! Imagine if I had picked Czech, then it would've been triple :P
