a tool to learn about Chinese (and Japanese) characters
The basic principle behind this program is 'Learning by Doing'. The user is encouraged to extend a database with acquired information about Chinese characters and Japanese Words. This information may turn out useful in the integrated text editor, for both reading and writing.
So there are multiple different uses for this program:
- Learn about Chinese characters. Gain, store and memorize knowledge about specific characters and words.
- Input devices for Chinese (and Japanese)...
The program lives in your system tray and every n minutes (seted in preferences) asks you to write a translation of words from dictionary. Dictionary file, amount of words, count of asking, start number, time interval can be cofigured.
