In Japanese Genius Accepts MANY Incorrect Answers
I'm studying Japanese and found a HUGE bug.

So the flash card shows me "毎" and I should have to type "まい every" however Genius will accept any character in the same column. So while まい (mai) is the right answer it will accept かい (kai) ない (nai)たい (tai) and so on. This is 100% reproducible and deadly because it nullifies the usefulness of the app.

If this was fixed I would be in heaven. I really do love Genius, but now I have to go back and make sure I haven't been practicing the wrong answers.

This happens in the latest version of Genius.

It doesn't ignore the characters, Genius isn't able to distinguish between certain characters, "り" (ri) and "に" (ni) for instance.

It put it simply it can't the difference between *any* character ending with the same vowel (when romanized).

    When I tried this out, i did the following:
    0. loaded up the attached vocab.genius file
    1. highlighted the item for まい every
    2. selected menu item Study -> Selection Only
    3. the quiz window came up with that item
    4. I typed かい and hit return
    5. I was prompted to answer if i got it right, and No was the default answer. See attachment.

    Might I ask what version of the software you are using?
