As a spin-off from Vocab Book I have written a memorisation aid called Memorise It. Here is the blurb:

Memorise It is a free Excel-based memory tool that helps you to remember facts, poetry, lines for a play, or any other text you need to commit to memory. Test yourself on your memory texts in three ways:  multiple choice, question and answer, and cloze (fill in the gaps).

Q and A backwards:

Here is the link to download the latest version. I’m reasonably confident it is stable in Windows 7 and 8 running Excel 2010 or 2013. I haven’t tested it on a mac yet. If you’re using Excel 2013 the cloze test takes a while to initiate, but if you wait it will eventually crunch the numbers and hand you back control.
