Chinese flashcards for Palm

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any experience with the various Chinese character flashcard programs available for Palm? It seems like this would be a great way of practicing character recognition on commutes and during boring meetings! I noticed that Clavis Sinica just came out with a new one, but I haven't tried it yet.

I use PlecoDict all the time for its flashcard system. It's the best system available because of its integration with the dictionary. You can import a list of Chinese characters, and PlecoDict will fill in the pinyin and definition for you. That saves you an incredible amount of time.

Many others here are enthusiastic users of PlecoDict, see http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/6966-palm-pleco-software-which-dictionary&highlight=pleco

I'm actually a big fan of Dragon Character Training, freeware from

http://dragon-char.sourceforge.net/

While development on it seems to have halted, it has several modes:

(1) given pinyin/english, select character;

(2) given character, select pinyin/definition; and

(3) given pinyin and definition, write the character.

I find the third mode particularly valuable.

Training sets are available for PCR (both traditional and simplified) and for HSK.

I wish I had mastered them all! Unfortunately, I am still far from that end... :cry:
