Tri Flash is a flash card application that allows to display 3 aspects of a word: the word, the latin transcription (ex: pinyin in Mandarin) and the translation. Unlike other flashcard applications that have only 2 sides! And do all this from the convenience of a Google Sheet: manage all your own words, according to what it is you want to learn. You can generate your own list of words from your favorite generative AI service for instance ! The application will let you randomly display words from the selected categories, and you can even check the pronunciation with text-to-speech. When you know a word enough, you can "hide" it. Pairing with a Google Sheet will require you to share / "publish to the web" your google sheet and enter the URL in your app (you can scan it as a QR code for convenience - use an online QR code generator to convert your URL). Once you have done this once, you never have to do it again: your sheet is "paired" with the app once and for all! You can add words from your paired google sheet when you make progress: simply "reload" and choose to replace or merge the words
