Include pinyin automatically when a flashcard is added

Hi! I asked to a Chinese friend how to say a sentence. She told me. I added the sentence and its translation as flashcard (manually). I had to add pinyin manually too. I think it could be automatic!

That one we'd certainly like to do but it's actually quite tricky - LOTS of characters have more than one valid pronunciation.

Why not implement a function like in Wenlin's Pinyin conversion, that will let you choose manually for every character with multiple pronunciations?

骑马 and 起码 both have the same pronunciation. Then you 便宜 piányi and 便宜 biànyí ... same characters with different pronunciations and tones.

Sorry I somehow missed this before. Anyway, a system to let you pick the pronunciation might help but frankly we'd rather wait and come up with something fully automated if we can.

For flashcards, I don't think there would not be enough context to make a more automated system.
