Cards

There are currently two types of available cards for the spaced repetition deck.

Two-sided cards

These cards each have a prompt and an answer. Multiple possible answers can be listed in the answer text field, separated by the pipe | character, and any one of them will be accepted as correct. There are also options allowing these cards to be reversed, in which case the user will be presented with the card’s second field and required to enter the value of its first field, and spoken and reversed, in which case the user will be presented with an audio button that reads aloud the card’s second field.

The following data is passed to templates of this card type:

  • prompts: a list of possible prompts for the card

  • reversed: a boolean indicating whether the card is reversed

  • spoken: a boolean indicating whether the (reversed) card uses an audio prompt

  • fontSize: a suggested font size for the card text

  • cardsLeft: the number of cards left to study

  • isPractice: a boolean indicating whether the card is just a practice card

Cloze puzzle cards

These cards depend on an external cloze puzzle server to generate puzzles for given words. The user must supply a server URL, a source language code, a target language code, and (optionally) a list of puzzle tags determining subsets of the total set of puzzles that are desired. Each card entry should consist of a word (in its base form) in the target language. When studying a card, a fill-in-the-blank puzzle involving that word will be generated.

The following data is passed to templates of this card type:

  • key: the target word from the card entry

  • puzzleFound: a boolean indicating whether a puzzle was found for that word on the server

  • prompt: the prompt of the puzzle, i.e. a sentence in the target language with a word missing

  • translation: a translation of the target sentence in the source language

  • source: the name of the puzzle group from which the puzzle is taken

  • fontSize: a suggested font size for the card text

  • cardsLeft: the number of cards left to study

  • isPractice: a boolean indicating whether the card is just a practice card
