4 Differences Among VSO, VSOBL, and VSOMV
VSO, VSOBL, or VSOMV works under cutting-edge AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to help students build vocabulary driven by the same training engine. Its behavior is like an intelligent tutor to guide you to learn new words and review known ones without wasting one minute.
As for study, review, and test words in a course, VSO, VSOBL, and VSOMV are the same in all features. The key differences are in course content and management:
- VSO can load words from separate sources, but you must merge them into one course. VSO can integrate multiple sources to a large course that you may study in a long time range.
- VSO is a free app for 12 months; you need VIP only when loading some wordlists from the website.
- VSOBL only loads built-in vocabularies by level. Each loaded level runs as an independent course, and you can work on multiple courses/levels parallelly. It's good for students who are preparing for English tests.
- VSOBL must run under a VIP account because its courses/vocabularies are for VIPs only.
- VSOMV runs and maintains one vocabulary only. When you load a new vocabulary, it overwrites the previous one. Some word lists on the website offer a "Study & Review App" button to let students load them into the App to study a small or middle vocabulary efficiently.
- Anyone can start VSOMV with a normal account. After a month's trial, you need to upgrade as a VIP to continue your course.
