qvtwfc - Qt4 vocabulary training with flash cards
Have a little flash card session while starting up your daily desktop session.
Yeah, life is a never ending learning experience.
- You can run a language flash card session on every boot into your desktop (KDE and xdg/freedesktop.org like Gnome or xfce4 supported).
- qvtwfc is not compatible to anything else, you will have to add every word pair by yourself
- Either run qvtwfc without command line argument (normal mode) and maintain a vocabulary file and access the settings dialog or
- Run qvtwfc with the -t switch and start a flash card session.
- Toggling to have a flash card session on booting your desktop can be done within qvtwfc (via the settings dialog)
- dict look up is supported.
- qvtwfc should be found in your desktop menu under 'Education' after installation
- Read the help file in normal mode for more information. |
Requires:
- Qt4
- cmake
- dictd or another dict server for local dict support (dictionary look up, not required to build qvtwfc)
qvtwfc running on xfce4 (Totem/Gorilla):

The inofficial debian package should be good to go... ...well, at least for debian sid amd64 users.
