Pleco useful sentence cards

[ItsLikeyy__]

Hi, so I have been trying to figure out the sentence flashcards in pleco reader, it seems to create two seperate flashcards, but I don't understand how to use them. In general, I have my flashcards like this: Sentence on the front and the word i want to remember would be in bold, then definition, pinyin and the word on the back. Is there a way to achieve this in pleco? If I can't, how am I supposed to make use of this sentence flashcards feature? Is there any recommended ways of using it?

The main goal of that feature was actually not to use reader sentences in a flashcard test but rather to consult them easily from the dictionary screen; basically, 'make your own Hanyu Da Cidian.' If you look up a word that you've bookmarked in this way you should see a list of reader sentences - with citations - at the top of the Examples tab.

We do offer 'cloze' sentence flashcards, which draw from dictionary examples or examples that you've explicitly linked from the card, but we don't currently pull reader examples into those because they don't usually have definitions associated with them. Adding something like you describe might make sense, though.

I double-checked and actually 'cloze card but don't hide the word and show the original definition instead of the cloze one' is already an option in the new easier-to-configure custom test type screen for the next beta, so this should be available in that with a bit of tweaking. (will consider whether we should surface it even more prominently than that)
