Tarjetas: Spanish Flashcards

'Tarjetas' is a flashcard app for learning Spanish from your own word list. You add the words you actually meet — in a lesson, a book, a conversation — and drill them until they stick. It works with no connection at all, and stays that way unless you choose otherwise. WHAT IT DOES • Your own dictionary. Add nouns with their article and verbs with their conjugation — one at a time, or a whole list at once by photographing it, picking a picture, opening a file or saying the words aloud. Every line is yours to check before it is added. Search it, edit it, delete from it. • Articles that teach themselves. El and la are colored by gender everywhere a word appears, so the gender is learned along with the word rather than after it. • Verbs, six forms at a time. Type a regular verb and the present tense fills itself in: hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, habláis, hablan. An irregular verb is typed once and kept. Drills ask one person at a time, not just the infinitive. • Topics you choose. File a word under any emoji — a house, a paw, an apple — and drill one topic at a time, all at once, or verbs alone. • It travels. Export your words to a file you keep, and import them back. Everything else moves to a new phone with a code. • Both directions. Ask Spanish to your language, or your language to Spanish. • Type or say the answer. Write the word instead of only turning the card over — spelling and accents count — or speak it in Spanish, where your phone's own speech recognition listens and only the text reaches the app. • Numbers. A drill of generated numbers, for the part of a language no word list covers. • Spaced repetition. A word you know comes back in a day, then three, then a week, three weeks, two months. A word you miss comes back in the same sitting. • It speaks. A button on the card says the Spanish aloud, in the voice your phone already has. FOR A CLASS • A teacher makes a class and reads out its code. Students type it and the lessons arrive. A class can also have a key, so the code alone is not enough. • A lesson is its own small dictionary. Drill just this week's words, or everything you have ever been given at once. • Nothing is taken over your head. When a lesson brings a word you already have, you are asked which wording to keep. • Homework. A teacher sets it on a lesson, you hand in an answer, and it comes back marked. • Quizzes. True-or-false, multiple-choice and typed questions, run live with the class. Gold, silver and bronze for the three best scores. • The teacher sees who has joined, the day you were last there — not the time — and the homework you hand in. The class sees each other's names and a quiz's results. Nobody sees your dictionary or your drills. FRIENDS • Add somebody by their code — eight characters, said across a room or sent in a message. No email address, no search, no suggestions. • Send a friend your dictionary. They choose what to take, word by word, and their wording wins unless they say otherwise. PRIVACY There is no sign-up. No email address, no password, no phone number, no real name — the name you type is whatever you want to be called. Nothing you type leaves your phone until you use the part that needs somebody else's device, or move to a new phone. What leaves then is the name and emoji you chose, the code people find you by, and what you hand over on purpose — a class, a request, a shared dictionary, homework and quiz answers, a report; a move adds the rest, sealed with a code the server never sees. Your word list never leaves. A photographed list is read on your phone, unless you set Recognition to the cloud: then OCR.space reads it, with no name or code attached. No advertising, no tracking, no analytics of the app's own. Nothing is sold. Everything held about you can be deleted from inside the app, in one place. Schools that would rather hold their own data can run the server themselves. Full policy: https://elzianor.github.io/Tarjetas/privacy.html
