Do you sometimes feel embarrassed because you cannot recall a phone number? Try an alternative way to memorize phone numbers.
Look at your cellular phone. Note that several letters correspond to the figure on each button.
Only 1 and 0 have no letters corresponding to them, but only the – and + signs.
The program will show you all possible textual variants of the specified number. Select the one that you can memorize better and use it.
Some tips.
- You can encode not only phone numbers, but any number.
- You can use this method as the easiest way to encode your data. If you carry with you numbers that you do not want anyone else to know, you can carry a list of text strings with you instead of actual numbers. A regular person will think that they are
not phone numbers, but some passwords.

Many mnemonic systems have been developed to aid in remembering numbers (credit cards, phone numbers, PINs, passwords, etc). The most prominent of these assigns a unique consonant sound to each digit, 0-9. These sounds are then used to form words/phrases that are more easily remembered than the raw numbers they represent. For example the number 70395 translates into “example” which, along with the translation rules, is far easier to remember than the number.
The 2Know software automates the translation of numbers to words/phrases using large English, French, and German phonetic dictionaries. The user simply enters the number to be translated and a list of candidate words is produced. The user then selects a word. If additional digits need to be translated, additional candidate words are presented for selection. This process is continued until the numeric string is completely translated. |
