Editing Incremental reading (section)

==History==
The method itself is often credited to the Polish software developer [[Piotr Woźniak (researcher)|Piotr Woźniak]]. He implemented the first version of incremental reading in 1999 in [[SuperMemo]] 99, providing the essential tools of the method: a prioritized reading list and the possibility to extract portions of articles and to create [[Cloze test|cloze deletions]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of incremental reading |url=http://super-memory.com/help/il.htm#History_of_incremental_learning |access-date=December 10, 2017 |quote=SuperMemo 99 made the first step towards efficient reading of electronic articles by introducing reading lists and the first primitive reading tools: extracts and clozes. Reading lists are prioritized lists of articles to read. Extracts make it possible to split larger articles into smaller portions. Clozes make it possible to convert short sentences into a question-answer format using cloze deletions.}}</ref> The term "incremental reading" itself appeared the following year with SuperMemo 10 (2000).<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of incremental reading |url=http://super-memory.com/help/il.htm#History_of_incremental_learning |access-date=January 3, 2018 |quote=SuperMemo 2000 greatly increased the efficiency of reading by introducing the concept of incremental reading.}}</ref> Later SuperMemo programmes subsequently enhanced the tools and techniques involved, such as webpage imports, material overload handling, etc.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of incremental reading |url=http://super-memory.com/help/il.htm#History_of_incremental_learning |access-date=January 3, 2018}}</ref>

Limited incremental reading support for the text editor [[Emacs]] appeared in 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 25, 2007 |title=Emacs Wiki: recent changes to "Incremental Reading" |url=https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs?action=rc;all=1;from=1;showedit=1;rcidonly=IncrementalReading |access-date=December 31, 2017}}</ref>

An [[Anki (software)|Anki]] add-on for incremental reading was later published in 2011;<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frank Raiser |date=March 15, 2011 |title=Anki Incremental reading |url=http://frankraiser.de/drupal/AnkiIR |access-date=December 31, 2017 |archive-date=December 31, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171231212140/http://frankraiser.de/drupal/AnkiIR |url-status=dead }}</ref> for Anki 2.0 and 2.1, another add-on is available.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 13, 2018 |title=Incremental Reading v4.9.13 |url=https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/935264945 |access-date=March 16, 2019 |publisher=AnkiWeb}}</ref>

Incremental reading was the first of a series of related concepts invented by [[Piotr Woźniak (researcher)|Piotr Woźniak]]: incremental image learning, incremental video, incremental audio, incremental mail processing, incremental problem solving, and incremental writing. "Incremental learning" is the term Wozniak uses to refer to those concepts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Components of incremental learning |url=http://super-memory.com/help/il.htm#Components_of_incremental_learning |access-date=January 3, 2018}}</ref>
