Hello,
I've just purchased the basic bundle a few hours ago - and so far I am happy with my purchase.
I like to use the OCR of Pleco to add flashcards, but there is one confusing aspect about it for me about adding custom flashcards.
Why does the OCR, when using recognized characters to add a new custom flashcard, copy the recognized characters in both, the simplified and traditional character field? The OCR is currently capable of recognizing both types of Chinese characters, right? So couldn't it just convert simplified characters into traditional characters and vice versa and put them into their respective fields? The way it is now, it would be more elegant to not have Pleco copy it into both fields and just one of them.
Another function that would be really useful is having Pleco suggest the Pinyin for a custom flashcard. In Chinese characters are read the same way in most cases, so this would surely be a benefit to many users, as it saves a lot of time. For the cases where a character is read different, the user could just manually adjust the suggested Pinyin.
I hope there is not already a thread about this. I would love to see these functions included, as it would make adding flashcards even easier.
Please keep up the good work!
