I usually just use Supermemo on my pocket PC to study these days. This is only text based no audio.
For language learning what comprehensive courses are available (in any language) that lend themselves nicely to cutting and pasting chunks of the material/text into a computer flashcard program like supermemo?
Please make a list of language and where to find the course. Here's one I can think of
http://www.princeton.edu/russian
For Russian I would say this is excellent all the text can be cut and pasted into a flashcard program. Unfortunately i'm not learning Russian yet.

I know I am not necessarily answering your question, but perhaps it will be of some use to somebody someday ;)
Supermemo is pretty popular in Poland and many full fledged courses or extensive vocabulary programs based on this engine are sold. I can recommend an excellent French course for Polish speakers - Supermemo Parlez avec nous. It is a little hard to buy these days - a couple of years ago it was abridged and cut up into three parts that are now sold separately. It was a standard audio-visual course, with SRS exercises built into it - a very effective combo.

A tip: In not OCRed pdf files (such as FSI courses) you can copy a selection of a picture, and then paste it directly into an anki question or answer box. The cut out piece will be stored as picture in a media folder for that deck automatically.

Thanks Kubelek, It is actually useful because i'm always on and off with French. The thing is that course you mention is an audio visual course. Will it work on pocket supermemo? I know pocket supermemo has built in html. Also is it a Polish/French course?
I think with the FSI project the next big step should be to OCRed. I tried this with German but even with the best software available the text needed a lot of editing, which I don't have time to do write now. Perhaps we could set up a forum topic on OCRing the PDF for FSI? I scanned the Chinese and recorded the audio many years ago. It wasn't fun and I didn't enjoy it (didn't even use it) but someone in the end got some benefit from it. Perhaps there would be enough people that would like to help turn the FSI PDF's into text too.

I didn't make it clear - it is for Polish speakers. Sorry about that.
There are several vocabulary programs that use English as the base language, though. I remember seeing Basic Dutch somewhere, for example - 3000 most useful words for supermemo.
Polish speakers may be familiar with Extreme English. It is a vocab deck with 20k English words built into it with audio. It was like a medium size dictionary sorted into categories, with audio, some example sentences packed into the SM formula.

http://www.language.berkeley.edu/korean/10/main.html is good for Korean.
Pretty much any good online course is cut-and-paste-able.

How about sentences used in the lessons of ChinesePod/ItalianPod/FrenchPod/SpanishPod? I
cut and paste from the PDFs they provide.
