Turn off Pinyin in Flashcards?

Hi.

I was wondering if there was any way to turn off the Pinyin for words when reviewing Chinese flashcards. I’d rather have them not shown so I can recall the reading myself.

Thanks in advance for any answer :slight_smile:

You can enable and disable Pinyin from the “AA” tab of the reader page, here:

This setting will also apply to the different practice modes. There was a bug where it wasn’t being applied to the Classic Flashcards mode, the Pinyin was just showing all the time regardless, but I’ve just fixed that so if you refresh any Readlang browser tab you might have open and try again, it should now work.

While this helps, I think it might be better to separate out the two cases: pinyin when clicking on a word in the reader vs. pinyin when trying to recall a word in flashcards. I think it’s helpful to have the pinyin when learning a new word in the reader, to make sure I know exactly what’s being said, but like the original poster, I don’t want it in the flashcard when I’m trying to remember the characters. But after having posted my flashcard answer, I think it would be helpful to reveal the pinyin, to help me double check that I had the right tones (and sometimes differences between related sounds). So for me at least, it’d be great if there were options for pinyin/no for reader, and pinyin at start/after answer for flashcards.
