[feature request] Hanzi trainer

Post by miri83 »

Is there any chance you could integrate a Hanzi trainer into the dictionary?

I reckon since, all the characters are in the dictionary's database anyway, this shouldn't be too hard to implement. Nothing fancy, just a typical flashcard type of thing, where the user would be presented with a character and then would have to give all its Pinyin readings - and maybe perhaps one of its meanings. Then there could be a small statistic to show the user where they are as far as their Hanzi knowledge goes.
You could take this even one step further and make it into a game where the user would be presented with a Pinyin syllable and then would have to draw up as many Hanzi as they know with this particular reading in a certain period of time.
This would definitely be a feature to set the app apart from its competitors - not that there are that many... ;)

I know there are Anki decks out there, but the beauty of having such a functionality integrated into a dictionary is that one could go right into a search that matches words containing a certain character instead of having to switch between apps.

Also, how does a "Hanzi of the day" option in the settings sound to you?

Well, apart from that your app is pretty much perfect. Keep up the good work!

Hi, thank you for your suggestion and kind words, and sorry I missed this post until now!

An integrated flashcard system is definitely on the ToDo list although I have a few other things to finish off first.

For "Hanzi of the day" you could just use the home screen widget.

Thanks again. Mark
