Creating Flashcards
You have two ways to create a flashcard set:
  • Create from a Chinese word list: simply copy and paste words into the text box on the left side, one word per line.
  • Create from an existing vocabulary list: click on the "Local Word List" button and paste the URL of the list you want to use.

Once you have entered your words, you can customize your flashcards by selecting the fields you want to show on the right side of the screen. Fields include Chinese, Phonetics, English Definition, Chinese Definition, Sample Sentence, and Sample Sentence (with Pinyin).

To change the display order of your fields, simply drag and drop using the dots located before the field name.
 

Managing Flashcards
Edit Flashcards
If you have a valid Pro account subscription, editing functions are available for your own flashcard sets. To edit a set title, simply click on the title and type in the new name. You can also add new cards, or edit/remove existing ones from the set.

Manage Flashcard Sets

All your created flashcard sets will be automatically saved as long as you are logged in to your account. To view and manage your saved flashcard sets, navigate to My Conversion -> Flashcards tab at https://www.purpleculture.net/myconversion/#flash.
