Bonjour,
I think it's a little late to the now soon to be available (NSTBA) plecodict, but still, after using previous dictionnary quite a lot, I'd like to give my view on what will be very important to me in coming version :
-I'd like to be able to choose what I want to see when I select a character or a word (in dictionnary or flash card) : pinyin, only the tone (/,\,-,V), big character, definition or definition in one word (to keep the information on the same screen) and maybe the sound if available. it should be possible to select more than one information and those information can appear in a window on top on the current screen (like when you move the arrow on an icon on top of your browser (I use Firefox)).
- In flashcard, I'll be very happy to be able to create Flashcard with complete sentence, as I find sentence a lot more easy and useful to remember than character. In this case, being able to record prononciation (I can ask to chinese's friend and record their voice) will make a lot of sense as it will be possible to make some audio flashcard (nothing on screen, only chinese voice to understant).
- Talking about flashcard, it would be nice if we could select wich information to see (for exemple, starting only with sound, then instead of selecting between ok or not, asking for pinyin, then asking for hanzi, then asking for definition), or starting only with character and asking only for tones before seing pinyin...
I understand that adding sound to the dictionnary now will be quite difficult, but it you can leave some space to include them later in the database, it would be great.
Anyway, keep up the good word, I"m really waiting to see the final product (or the 1st beta !).
