Tachufind was created in 2009, and was initially created to solve a problem -
How can we improve the speed of learning? For example, you want to learn a complex
language, that has endings of words that change, some even have beginnings of words
that change. How will you do it? Another example, you are discussing hot political
issues, you have a document that stores all your information, but you need a way to
quickly reference this information that contains sources, quotations, definitions,
important points. Tachufind can help you find this information that you have
collected. Another example, you are studying a complex topic and you need to have a
way of reminding yourself the meanings of words, etc., within the document. Maybe
it is instructions for a process that you need to learn quickly. You can emphasize
all the important words or phrases, with the click of a button. Suppose you need to
learn definitions, which are usually a true key to passing an exam. You can create
a question and answer quiz that lets you rapidly practice for the real thing.
If you are intent upon learning the grammar of a foreign language, you can color
words or their suffixes and prefixes, and provide a key to recall the meanings.
