Pengyou Posted February 4, 2013 at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 at 03:11 PM I am looking for an android flash card program (want to dump most of my index cards) that also comes with a pc program so that I can use my desktop to set up the cards. I want the cards to be able to have sound, pictures (still and video) and a fairly sophisticated way to manage the cards as I learn them. I have googled for this but cannot find a way to get the pc component into the search. One more thing - I want to be able to categorize the words in different ways. For example a word may be put into a category called meals but also may be put into a category called nouns and also a category called imported words.

Pengyou Posted February 4, 2013 at 03:53 PM Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 at 03:53 PM I have been looking at that. Will it allow me to organize words in different ways? besides entering them into the database more than once? Also can I import words from other sources? Sorry for the nit picky questions, but I forsee myself putting lots of hours into setting this up and using it - I would like to make a good decision up front.

realmayo Posted February 4, 2013 at 03:58 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 at 03:58 PM Yes. Suggest you download it to your PC (free) and have a play. It's quite complicated to understand though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengyou Posted February 5, 2013 at 05:02 AM Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 at 05:02 AM Is there some program that has more than 3 review buttons, again, good and easy? I require more options than this to learn the hanzi Sorry for the nit picky questions, but their users forum is in a google users group and I cannot access that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmayo Posted February 5, 2013 at 09:06 AM Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 at 09:06 AM In Anki a fourth button appears once you've reviewed a card a few times, the fourth button is "hard". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengyou Posted February 7, 2013 at 01:59 PM Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 at 01:59 PM I can access the website to download the windows version but cannot get my cell phone to get to the android version. Is there another option than the google site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markpete Posted August 28, 2021 at 05:07 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 at 05:07 PM I realize this is a really old thread, but in case anyone else stumbles on it, I thought I'd add my two cents here. I keep an Excel file with words I'm trying to learn on my PC. The flashcard app I use is Flashcards Deluxe (available for Android or iPhone; their website is https://orangeorapple.com/Flashcards/Default.aspx). Importing from an Excel file or text file to the flashcard app is very simple, and it has a lot of features (multi-sided cards, spaced repetition algorithms, supports pictures and sounds) that make it quite suitable for learning Chinese. Every now and then I think I should get familiar with Anki, since everyone seems to use it, but it seems like it has a much steeper learning curve. In contrast, Flashcards Deluxe seems much more intuitive (to me, anyway) and easy to get up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
大块头 Posted August 29, 2021 at 01:15 AM Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 at 01:15 AM It's important that you like the tools you study with. The only concern I would have is getting my data out if the creator decides to stop updating the app or gets hit by a bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengyou Posted August 29, 2021 at 07:49 AM Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 at 07:49 AM So if I get a deck with 11K+ words, I can make subdecks out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
