• 11 October 2018Coming soon : ability to pick an example word for each flashcard

    The next update will bring a dead simple way of adding example words to the flashcards.

    • Simply "star" a word in the Dictionary dialog, It is now linked to the flashcard
    • To remove the word, "unstar" the same item
    • Therefore, example words (demonstrating On / Kun readings) will no longer be selected at random. SRS cards will only display words that the user previously selected for that card

    With this implementation it means a RTK learner can completely ignore example words. Once RTK is completed or at any point sooner, the user can start adding example words.

    With this feature, we're allowing the user to select the words that make sense to them. For example you might pick something because it's in a textbook you use, or you learned it in class recently, or you saw it in a manga / movie, etc.

    Coupled with the smart dictionary, it's easy to pick words that use kanji you have learned thus far, since they are highlighted and at the top of the Dictionary list.

    For this first implementation I am using a "one word per card" limit. Over time as I have a better idea where to take this, along with your feedback, then maybe I'll enable 2 to 3 words per card.

    It's important to keep in mind that we're not looking at a vocab SRS. We're looking at Kanji cards. The main function of the example words is to demonstrate existing readings for that character.
