    Pleco coaching for flashcard setup

    I haven't been able to get my head around the settings for flashcard study. Is anyone willing to coach me via Skype please? I'm happy to pay for the help. I've tried to follow the instruction manual but it doesn't quite match what I'm seeing on my Android phone. I'm using an Oppo f1 android...

    How to change dictionary entry in flashcards

    Hi, how can I set a different dictionary entry for a particular flashcard to be shown in the test? For example: 积分. Flashcard testing shows PLC, but I would prefer CC, because that actually shows more definitions and, most importantly, the definitions that I encountered this term with. I...

    Point of view about reviewing flashcards' method

    Hi all! I would like to ask how you review your flashcards, in terms of "what you show in the question and what you show in the wanswer". I don't know if what I'm doing is good for memorization so I would like to talk about methods. The way I'm using to review now is to put the word in my native...

    Flashcards: Display definition and examples

    Hi! I would like to read some examples(Plecodictionary-based) under the definition of my reviewed flashcards. I know I have to choose Definition + examples in the Definition sections on Display, but even if I do so, when I reveal the card it doesn't show the examples. Maybe due to the flashcards...

    Importing a set from Cram

    Hi everyone, I would like to know if there's a way to import a flashcard set from Cram. I have one excel file that can't be detected and imported by the Pleco Import program. Shall I change the excel format? How?

    test anomalies

    Thank you for Pleco app, I find it very helpful. At the end of a test, this option sometimes occurs: It doesn't seem to quite finish. Then I can either choose New Test or Continue Test. But Continue Test just brings me back to the last flashcard in the previous test. From that page I cannot...

    Custom Pinyin

    Although you already allow custom flashcards, I wonder if it would make sense to have an entirely different option for just custom pinyin. The reason is because making a custom card completely un-formats the dictionary entry, so it's much less pleasing and more confusing to look at. Usually...

    Reviewing flashcards. Practice traditional, ignore simplified?

    Is there a way to let Pleco ignore simplified characters while reviewing flashcards? Until now I heavily focused on studying simplified characters, in the future I would like to improve my traditional characters writing skills. My plan was to study some HSK vocab lists in flashcard writing mode...
  9. Multiple Choice test giving single choice although 187 flashcards

    I began using the flashcards and tests with no issue. I then added about 150 words, and now about half of my questions have only one answer option. I have messed around with nearly every setting to troubleshoot, but it hasn't changed. To be clear, I have set to the option for 5 choices.

    minor feature request - "excluded" flash status icon

    I've come to rely quite heavily on the "Exclude From All Sessions" button as my my vocabulary grows with increasingly more compound words. What I like to do is exclude old cards with short headwords that now serve as the components of larger compound headwords in newer cards. This prevents extra...

    Flashcards: Certain cards do not show up

    Hi, firstly thank you for creating Pleco! It has been a great aid in my Chinese studies. Problem: Certain cards refuse to show up in the test sessions - although all other cards in that flashcard category have been reviewed almost 10 times (see first pic). My flashcard set up: I use 3...

    Minor feature request for flash cards: "Replace card in category" instead of "Create duplicate"

    Suppose you import a bunch of cards into new categories. If during the import Pleco recognises any of these new cards as a duplicate of an existing card from another category, it will instead add the new category to the existing card -- so far so good. Sometimes Pleco doesn't recognise the fact...

    Cantonese flashcard file format

    The documentation for importing flashcards specifies a file format of {headword}{tab}{pinyin}{tab}{definition}. In the user interface for creating a new card there are two additional fields. Headword is split into traditional and simplified. And pronunciation is split into Mandarin and...

    NPC vs NPCR: different books?

    I imported Ipsi's files for NPCR because my textbook (at Taipei Language Institute) is called "New Practical Chinese," but the vocab doesn't seem to match at all. Wikipedia says there is another book of almost the same name, published by the Chinese government. Is that the one that all these...

    Pleco flashcard questions

    I have been using Pleco for 10 years (First on a Palm TX and now using 3.2.10 on an iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.2), but am new to using the flashcard system. I have read the manual (75 pages just for flashcards) , and looked through the forums to try to understand how it works. I have some questions...

    Hide pinyin on flashcard tone testing?

    I use the flashcards a lot, especially the tone practice but I'd like to hide the pinyin so I'm only seeing the characters. Is there a way to do that? I have "Characters" only selected but it still displays the pinyin. I'd be fine with it showing it after I choose tones, I just don't want the...
