Thanks very much for all of this detailed info.
Mikelove, quick question. I've found your example on making custom dictionary text files, but does Pleco supply some template that I could work with? If I want to help with my own custom Hong Kong Hakka dictionary (and potentially add recordings!), where should I start? I've not read any support for sound files either since it wouldn't have a google dictation, it would have to be sound recordings done by a person.
