When I do my custom flashcards I have some pinyin entries like (with tone marks instead of numbers): wei1, wei4 (wei3)
Lulu goes crazy on those, with Hui it's no problem, although I would prefer the normal recordings in this case...

The wildcard button is not working for me. I also tried to switch to other characters, no improvement, I always get this:
Bye, Michael.

Thanks (forgot we even had that option) - glitch related to our switch to always allowing ? and * for wildcard inputs. (@ and $ will still work as well, or whatever other options you've configured - at least for a while - but since they were originally chosen for compatibility with certain Palm OS input methods we decided it was high time we dropped them in favor of some more standard wildcard symbols)

the first two came with the phone the other two i installed. tapping more brings up 12 more aps and those 12 are listed alphabetically, so i need to scroll down a bit to find pleco.
I have tried correcting single characters in OCR before but it almost never get the characters i need in the list. For example the other day the character 手 was miss scanned as 毛 tapping gave me long list wich included 邑 无 E and some other more complicated characters but not the proper character for shou, 手.
this what just scaning one sentance so i spoted it right away. but ofter with a whole paragraph i don't see it until its already in the reader
RTF would be nice if it would allow for more choice in the formating. it would be nice if we could then specify different text sizes for different documents and used bold and italics ect.
Seems i never tried it with anything else because it looks like it doesn't show up anywhere. i guess its their problem not plecos.mikelove said:

Re: Pleco for Android 2.4.0 Beta 5 Bug Report / Feedback Thr
Probably just sorting a few built-in apps on top followed by everything else in alphabetical order - there might be a hack (at least on a rooted phone) that can reorder them for you, but I don't imagine there's a built-in way to do it.
Ah, forgot that we don't yet let you replace it with an arbitrary character using handwriting (as we do on iOS) - I'll add a note about that for the next Android update.
Well for that I'd rather just use EPUB, since it's a much more modern / powerful standard and would bring support for a lot more data than RTF would. So another port from iOS (we don't support EPUB officially yet on iOS either, but we will be doing so shortly, and since EPUBs are basically just .zip files full of web pages the core of the thing is our currently iOS-only live on-page tap-lookup system).

EPUB sounds great, as does the live on-page tap-lookup system. I'd love to see these features on Android. I think i recall you once saying something about google offering something similar on android but i never could figure out where or what it was.mikelove said:

I can't seem to be able to launch into the flashcard module immediately. I sometimes study flashcards and go into another app, then I want to come back to flashcards, but it takes me back to a word I looked up in the dictionary before. I've got "flashcard" and "reader" shortcuts but they both seem to have this problem. Is there a solution ?
Thanks.

Re: Pleco for Android 2.4.0 Beta 5 Bug Report / Feedback Thr
Delete and then re-generate those shortcuts - that should get them to take you back to flashcards. You can also go back using the Android task switcher - on Android 3/4 it's next to the home button (so the three main buttons go back / home / task switcher), on earlier versions you usually get to it by pressing-and-holding the device's physical home button.

I can't seem to be able to delete the shortcuts ? I try to drag them to the trash can, and when I go back to my app launcher, they're still there. I'm using a stock galaxy s3, international version, (GT-I9300 Android 4.0.4).

Re: Pleco for Android 2.4.0 Beta 5 Bug Report / Feedback Thr
Well that's odd... are these the shortcuts that were generated by the app, or are they the old shortcut apps that you downloaded from our website / from Google Play? If the latter, you'd probably have to go into Settings / Apps to delete them.

Re: Pleco for Android 2.4.0 Beta 5 Bug Report / Feedback Thr
Ah I see. I downloaded these shortcuts from the play store, they were both at version 1.0. Deleting them and re-creating them works. BUT, I now have a problem, these newly created shortcuts are not available using SwipePad (best multitask launcher). Would you be able to take a look ? I'm assuming you already know why this is. The launcher is free (it's not a launcher actually, it's an add-on app that makes task switching extremely efficient. So perfect to quickly snap a picture and go into OCR still mode).

Translators often use dictionaries, which you can find in Pleco. What do translators also need to do a lot? Typing! Ideally seeing the original text, the dictionaries and the translated text at the same time. In the Reader we already have two of these, if editing could be enabled without jumping to the beginning of the file (like on the iPad), it would be good enough already. I currently have to rely on another computer or pen and paper when translating with Pleco.mikelove said:

We've had a number of requests for that, but it's hard to expand into a totally new function like that until we've put some more time into adding much-needed features to our existing functions (EPUB / PDF reading support, e.g.) - could happen in a year or two, though.

Hope this hasn't been discussed before, but I figured I'd mention it.
It is far too easy to remove a card from a category by accident when viewing the category list for an individual card. There have been several occasions where I tapped and removed a card from a category by accident. It would seem safer if you were required to swipe or an edit button to prevent this from happening.
