Frequently Asked Questions About Chinese Flashcards
Get answers on how CogniGuide supports Mandarin learning and exam preparation.
Does this work for specific Chinese proficiency exams like HSK?
Yes. If you upload materials specific to any HSK level or simply prompt the AI, e.g., 'Generate flashcards for HSK 5 verbs,' the system will create content tailored to that curriculum. This supports highly focused exam preparation.
Can I upload handwritten Chinese notes or textbook images?
Absolutely. The AI uses optical character recognition (OCR) to read text from images of your notes, textbooks, or whiteboards. This allows you to quickly transform your physical study materials into digital flashcards.
How does spaced repetition help me memorize Chinese characters?
Spaced repetition (SR) optimizes memory consolidation by showing you difficult characters more often and easy characters less often. This method prevents the 'cramming' effect, leading to long-term memory retention of complex characters and Pinyin.
Is the free plan sufficient for daily Chinese vocabulary practice?
The free plan provides ample generation credits for introductory and daily review practice. If you need to generate very large decks from multiple advanced textbooks frequently, the paid plan offers higher capacity and access to a more advanced AI model.
