I’ve got a major system for single digits adopted from a book a long time ago, so it’s pretty much stuck, and doesn’t follow a lot of popular setups.
Wondering if anyone knows of a web based tool where I can plug in my system for word suggestions.
Looking to develop a 3 digit association list
Does it use the same sounds as classic major just associated with different numbers?
If so, you could try using something like memcoder.com and on the input side, just put in the classic numbers that represent the sounds you’re looking to use.
so if my 77 is T-T, I’d put in 11 and see what T-T words it would generate. Not perfect for what you’re hoping for, but may get you a bit of what you need.
There are a lot of tools available.
Since, like you, I use a personalised version of the major system, I always begin with memcoder, because it shows you the correspondance, which tells me which number to search for in the “classical” major.
Memcoder
Numzi - Remember Numbers
Mnemonic Ninja
Major System mnemonic technique database, list and generator (several languages)
A key word generator that links to the number you create
Some people are kind enough to share their completed system, I find this one the best: Complete PO Major System (3-2-1-0 digits).xlsx - Google Drive
… and when everything fails, asking here on the forum, I’ve done it myself quite often ![]()
My system is:
0: s/z
1: L
2: n
3: 3
4: r
5: f/v
6: b
7: t
8: ch/sh
9: g
So certain letters are similar.
Trying to develop a 1000 image list
Appreciate it, but I’m not getting how you apply your system to Memcoder (slow brain
)
No worries.
Lets say you wanted ideas for 013. In your system thats S/Z-L-M. but if you input 013 into memcoder, it will give you options for S/Z-T/D-M because traditionally 1 = T/D. So in order to get options that represent S/Z-L-M you’d need to input the traditional number maps for those sounds, which would be 053. That would give you some options for words for S/Z-L-M which you could then map to your 013 entry.
Ah ok ![]()
I’m slow on the uptake
When you open the page on the top there’s a reminder of the major system… So if I’m looking for a word for 180, which in my system is L, B/P and R, I see that I need to type 594.
That’s clarifies, thanks.
Still struggling to generate a good S,S,F word ![]()
I shall persevere though, as I gather the 1000 image list is the most robust/ future proof system
I use Sisyphe (the guy pushing a huge rock up a mountain).
In English Sisyphus: Sisyphus - Wikipedia
I like it ![]()
Sisyphus is a great person for it. I have Sousaphone as the object.
I have Sisyphus’ rock as the object… My system is a lazy (unfinished) one ![]()
Is that a hybrid 3digit, PAO system you’re using? How does that work?
Yeah, I have a 3-digit PO list that I made last year. I don’t really use it anymore since updating my card system (which uses all of the number entries.) Nowadays I just use a single association for each 3-digit number. Much easier to keep track of and just as fast.
Interesting, I was thinking I should eventually combine some sort of PO/ PAO with a 3digit system to improve linking… but maybe unnecessary ![]()
I love being able to create whatever connecting link/action I want between the elements.
I use two per “scene/location” so the scenes are very simple to construct. Can store 6 digits or 4 total cards per scene in this way. Just keep moving through locations and creating additional scenes for however long the sequence is.
Developing my 000-999 images, and must say it feels like ‘square peg, round hole’ in a lot of cases; I’m trying to create single words for each set of three digits is this where I’m going wrong?
To give an example, I arrived at ‘Cigar’ for 094,
but stumped coming up with something for 088
It’s a very long project, that’s for sure.
One thing that may open up possibilities is that, since you won’t develop a 4 digit system (it would mean 10000 words), the words can be longer, you don’t have to stop at 3 consonants. Especially if it means using people or objects you really like or that fit well.
For example I have alcazar for 145, which should really be 1450, but since I know I’m never having more than three digits in a chunk, the last one is ignored.
But for 14, which is Luke in my system, it’s important to stop after two consonant sounds, because otherwise I won’t know that it’s not a three digits number. Lukas would not be good because I’d easily think it’s 145 too.
Thinking that way makes it feel much more flexible, appreciate it!
