I am missing some fundamental piece of knowledge re flashcards. Please help.

I'm hoping there is a way to accomplish this simply.

I often watch mandarin language videos on YouTube. Usually, I understand a good bit of what I hear but there are always unknown words. To remedy this, I've been doing the following:

1. Utilize the realtime speech recognition on iphone to capture the entire text of the video.
2. Copy the text into Pleco.
3. Sort the words according to the order they appear in the text.
4. Dump the words to a new category.
5. Create a flashcard test that only pulls from the new category.

The problem is that categories share MANY words, which means I'm stuck studying trivial words that I already know.

How can I either:
A) Filter a category to include ONLY words that don't already exist in a another category.
B) Filter the flashcard test to only test me on words that I'm not already studying in a different test.

Hi, you can do B) in a Legacy test:



I didn't see this in any of the new test types.
