A kanji app

This is simple flashcards app, specifically tuned to learning kanji. All readings (yomi) are fetched from Kanjipedia.

Learning

Every card has three states:

• New – for new or forgotten card,
• Repeat – card was just remembered, should be recalled in the next session,
• Learned – card was remembered well.

So if you are good at remembering, state progresses sequentially: New --(good)--> Repeat --(good)--> Learned

Although the app takes hardcore approach, if you don't remember card, state always resets: Repeat/Learned --(again)--> New

There are a couple of shortcuts: In Learn window you can press space to show back side, and space again to mark success, or x to mark failure. You can also undo your answers with ⌘Z.

In Database you can provide example words that will be shown while learning, e.g. 自転車 is displayed for every kanji in the word: 自, 転, and 車.

Settings

You can change certain learning parameters in Settings window (Window -> Settings):

• Total maximum of cards, 0 is infinity,
• Maximum number of additional cards, i.e. not marked for repeating,
• Ratio between new and learned cards in that amount.

Import, export and editing

You can import the first portion of cards and examples in Database window (Window -> Database). For kanji import file should be in CSV format with two columns separated by semicolon: kanji and integer (0 is New and so on). If you don't specify status, in other words, if only kanji is provided, then status reads as New.

低;0
花;1
...

File with examples should contain only words, on import system will match corresponding kanji automatically.

自転車
男の子

In Database window you can find button, which exports cards and examples in corresponding format.
