Major improvements to flashcards
Kanshudo's flashcard system has received a host of improvements in the last few weeks. We've made some big changes under the hood which have improved speed and responsiveness tremendously, and we've added a whole bunch of visible improvements too.
Here's a round-up:
- Speed: flashcards are now much smoother and faster ... the new experience should be very pleasant.
- Animations: a new flashing status bar confirms with color-coding how you scored each card.
- Statistics charts: for individual sets and all your flashcards. See when cards will come up for review, and overall learned status of your cards.
- Icon: we've made it bolder and easier to spot.
- Answer type: a new study mode: type one of the readings of a word in either romaji or hiragana.
- Anki import: many of you love Anki, and so do we, but you want the integration with dictionaries, games and study tools that Kanshudo provides. Now you can have the best of both worlds!
- Smart Import: automatically match your imported cards with words in the Kanshudo system, so you can take advantage of example sentences, answer type mode etc.
- Updated how to guide: our comprehensive guide covers all the various import options.
- Saved preferences: save your preferences (for answer type mode, reverse study mode, and flip animation) so that each flashcard session starts the way you like it. Modify your default preferences from your account page, and your preferences for the current session from the flashcard page itself.
- Download / export: any of your flashcard sets, any time.
