C'est outre de matière mais c'est un programme si terrible, je juste a dû l'énumérer. C'est un programme de carte instantané sur des stéroïdes. Fortement recommandé.

Do you have a hard time remembering numbers?

Then 2Know can help - a lot! 

2Know is based on a mnemonic system that has proven its effectiveness over hundreds of years.  The system transforms meaningless numerical strings into words and phrases. In the system, each numeral, 0-9, is represented by a consonant sound. These sounds are used to form words that can be more easily remembered than the raw numbers.

The system is not computer based.  But it sure is easier coming up with meaningful words and phrases using the 2Know program and its large multilingual phonetic dictionaries.

And the price is right: Nada, nothing, zip. But if you want to send bags of money, I will not object

* The flags are of countries with the largest population for each language. No political statement is intended by their placement.

The Phonetic System

The Phonetic System is not new.  It has been around in one form or another since the 1600s.  The version presented here is based on the one found in the highly recommended book

"Your Memory: How It Works & How to Improve It" by Kenneth L. Higbee

The name of this program, '2Know', is derived from the fact that 'know' is the phonetic equivalent of '2'.

Remember, it is the sounds that are important, not the letters.
* If repeated letters make only one sound, as 'ss' in tissue, it translates to a single digit.
* Silent consonants, such as the 'c' in tack, are not represented by a digit.
* Vowels don't count
* 'x' is usually  pronounced as 'ks' as in axiom(703)

Regional accents and individual pronunciation can make for ambiguous translations. For example 'conch' could be translated as either 726 or 727. It is your decision which to use - just be consistent.

How Does 2Know Help?

bullet Click "Copy" to copy the finished phrase to the clipboard for subsequent pasting.
