RECALL ECHO — User Guide

See It. Remember It.

RECALL ECHO is a visual practice tool for working with a specific piece of information you want to remember, such as a number, a short phrase, a date, or a sequence of characters.

Start a session

Open RECALL ECHO.
Type the information you want to remember (up to 80 characters).
Press START. Your 12-minute session begins immediately.
Watch the red text: it is the information you entered. The purple text is distracting material. Focus on identifying the red target as a whole while it moves toward the center.

The 12-minute cycle

Stage	Duration	What to do
RECORD 1	3 min	Focus on the red target.
INTEGRATE 1	1 min	Rest your attention and look at the light.
RECORD 2	3 min	Find the target among the distractors again.
INTEGRATE 2	1 min	Relax your focus.
RECORD 3	3 min	Focus on the entire target as one unit.
CONSOLIDATE	1 min	Finish without new material.

The timer and progress bar show your position in the cycle. A sound signals transitions when audio is available.

Recall and verify

At the end of a standard session, the RECALL screen appears. The original target is not shown on this screen.

Type what you remember into the answer field.
Press VERIFY or Enter.
Review your Accuracy, the Original target and Your answer.
Press Close results to return to the main view. Select New cycle to practice again.

For numeric targets, accuracy reflects digits matching at their original positions. For other text, accuracy is based on edit-distance similarity after standardizing case and whitespace. These scores indicate how closely your answer matches the original; they do not measure long-term memory retention.

Other controls

Pause / Continue: Stop or resume the current timer and animation.
Reset: Return the cycle timer to the beginning.
Options: Change the target for the current practice.
Freeride: Run the visual cycle with moving colored dots instead of target text. Freeride does not open a recall test at the end.

Tips

Start with a short number, word, or phrase, then try more complex targets.
For reliable self-testing, avoid viewing the original target after the session until you have submitted your answer.
If your goal is long-term retention, test yourself again after a delay rather than relying only on the immediate result.

Important note

RECALL ECHO is an experimental visual practice method. It is not scientifically established that the animation itself causes information to be stored in memory. Your recall score is a practice result, not a measure of intelligence or a medical assessment.

The app runs locally in a modern browser and does not need an internet connection to run.
