I was wondering if anyone knew of any good (and preferably free) flash card programs I could use. It needs to have support for the Japanese script and allow me to edit my own cards.
I tried using VTrain but I didn't really need the design all that much (plus I only get 30 hours to test it). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Kotoba (OS X only) is the simplest and best one I've found. You can make or
import your own cards as a text file. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

As I start filling in vocabulary gaps for the JLPT, I'm more and more interested in flashcard software too. Based on this discussion I'm going to take a look at Supermemo (hints for use), Stackz (which has support specifically for Japanese), VTrain and jMemorize, the only one which is free.
You'd think that with all these computer programmars who are learning Japanese, there'd be more choices. Edit: the forum spell checker needs to be able to distinguish between "g-r-a-m-m-a-r" and "p-r-o-g-r-a-m-m-e-r". Edited by Qbe on 15 June 2006 at 12:13pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for all the links. Always good to have plenty of tools at one's disposal. :)
I found what seems to be a pretty good flash card software/dictionary package called WaKan. It lets me make my own lists and add words to the database so it's just what I was looking for. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Wakan is great. I can use that to print out texts with furigana. I'm currently using podcasts to practise my listening abilities (Nippon VoiceBlogNippon VoiceBlog. I just finished printing out some of the texts with Wakan. Listening to the podcasts I can correct the wrong furiganas. Thanks.

I just tried using Supermemo, but couldn't figure out how to insert Japanese text. When I insert Japanese text, it always ends up being displayed as ???.

I use Pauker. It is free, runs on almost any computer (Java), can do Japanese (just choose an appropriate font), and uses a proper Leitner system (spaced algorithm). High recommendations from me.
