Hi!
I have previously been using skritter for my "flashcard needs", but since they don't support android anymore, I have bought pleco flashcards. I have been trying to learn and configure this new tool, and so far I am pretty happy.
BUT....
I have 2 questions, that I can't figure out the answers to.
1. I use the "fill in the blanks" option the most, i.e. showing pinyin and translation and being asked to write the character in the empty boxes. I use the normal pleco writing tool. So I press the empty box, putting the marker there and start writing my character. As I write the character, it automatically appears in the empty box above, but it only "registers" as an answer after I chose a character from the character bar down below, although the finished character has already been written correctly in the box. This is not the whole world, but it is annoying and it is an extra seemingly unnecessary "click". Is there any way to just remove that annoying "character bar" down below? There is another reason for me wanting it to be removed, and that is because it's possible to cheat from it. Sometimes when you have not written the character properly, it still appears in the bar below since it was close enough to be resembling to the correct answer. Please tell me its possible to remove this "cheat bar".
2. Is it possible to keep repeating the same card until you get it right, and not being able to progress to the next one until you have wrote it correctly at least once (but still not having it counted as a correct answer)? This would be a lot more effective in terms of learning the characters you have a hard time with. What I mean is this, lets say I cant write the character, so I click "done" to see the answer, since I did not get it correct, it counts as a wrong. Now, the answer disappears and I am prompted to write the character again to be able to progress. I still don't get it right, click done to see the answer, and the 3:rd time I finally get it and can progress to the next card. However, although I finally managed to write the card, it does not count as a "correct answer" since I did not get it right from the beginning.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!!!
