Import flashcards into Pleco

Hi, how to import New Practical Chinese Reader (NPCR) into Pleco:

  • download flashcards
  • install Pleco for Android or iOs (Note that the Pleco iOS flashcard system is a paid add-on module; until it’s purchased, the testing modes are disabled and flashcards are referred to as “Bookmarks” instead of “Flashcards.” It’s the same database / same organizational system and supports the same import/export format, you just can’t test yourself on the resulting flashcards. You can purchase the Flashcard System add-on through the “Add-ons” screen)
  • in Pleco select import from the menu
  • select the downloaded file containing the flashcards (npcr_flashcard_complete.xml)
  • use default import settings and start import
  • in the menu under ‘organize cards’ you can now select NPCR lessons
