Can't Export Custom Flashcards

[nlucchesi]

I've imported hundreds of custom flashcards into Pleco; now it's time to move the data to Quizlet.

My cards are simple text all in roman script. (Yes, I used Pleco to study German/English flashcards.)

I've tried to follow these directions:

Here are my settings:

Unfortunately, my resulting text file is empty. (If I choose Categories in the Include Data then the text file is just a list of all the Categories, but none of the words.)

Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.

Maybe set "Card Language" to English-Chinese?

 

[nlucchesi]

Yes, that helped.

It appears to give me all the English definitions. Unfortunately, the Chinese (actually, German) words are mostly missing in the first half of the cards.

You could look into a copy of your flashcard database in Windows with a viewer, e.g. SQLiteSpy from http://www.heise.de/download/sqlitespy-1141683.html to see the content of the database. You could even copy the content into an Excel file to modify the data if necessary.

Hmm... maybe turn on "dictionary definitions" too? Perhaps you inadvertently created a user dictionary and a lot of the cards linked to that?

Yes, you are correct. I wasn't thinking about my User Dictionary. Oh, sorry for all my questions.

Thank you.
