Abstract
The so-called numerical alphabet has been established as one of the various memorization systems. It enables numbers to be transformed into words. In that way memorizing numbers is highly alleviated, since words are to be memorized instead of numbers, which is substantially easier. In order to master the technique of transforming numbers into words (for memorizing them), as well as transforming words back to numbers, a person has to practice. Upon adopting the numerical alphabet, one then has to practice various examples and translate numbers into proper words and words into proper numbers. This paper describes the computer application we have developed that helps in this process. To our knowledge, this is the first complete application of this type ever created. We also show the results of the students' number-memorization tests, performed before and after using the application, which show significant improvements.
