Custom flashcard settings

[Shaokao]

Apologies if this is already covered anywhere, but I couldn’t find a direct answer.

I want to create custom flashcards, with the following setup:
Front: sample sentence I input… I would rather use my own custom sentences
Back: sample sentence, the word, pinyin, definition, audio

What world be the easiest way to create this kind of custom flashcard?

I’m using both iOS and Android devices.

Thanks so much for your help!

At the moment, you'd have to create them in a text editor and import them into Pleco. Format would be:

sentence in characters<tab>sentence in Pinyin(or blank)<tab>back of card information

One card per line.

Also, newline support in import files is awkward - we only ever intended them for short definitions - so you would need to insert the private-use Unicode character U+EAB1 (between brackets here: {{}}) as a replacement for a newline.

I have a somewhat related question. I would like to use Pleco flashcards not on dictionary characters or words, but on example sentences (from loaded Pleco dictionnaries), my goal being to practice saying them. The entry point could potentially be words though, but what I really want is drilling on sentences, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an option to add those examples even in the back of flashcards.
If I'm not mistaken, my only option is to create a document with all those sentence examples I want and use TTS, but that will be rather linear, not random spaced. Is there another option, or does the answer above apply to my need too?

I guess this post answers my question, so example sentences can indeed be made into flashcards, that's great. A little clumsy if I need to manually enter translation in the definition field, but still pretty much what I need.
