WHAT’S HOT

    The new version of FlashCards 1.2.9 adds Landscape mode compatibility for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, and the interface has been improved making it much more handy for users.

SETUP

    Installation was a breeze. No special configurations
were necessary after installation. The setup program installed three
software components on my Pocket PC: The FlashCards program, a Language
database (that can be customized with your very own word combinations);
and an on-screen French keyboard that works just like the regular Pocket
PC on-screen keyboard.

PROGRAM FEATURES

    As mentioned, FlashCards consists of three components: The FlashCards main program, (which includes 4 games) a French Keyboard, which is added to the standard Pocket PC input method selection menu, and a database of words that can be customized with your own vocabulary of words.

FlashCards Games
   

When you start FlashCards, you are presented with a screen that allows you to choose one of four games to play, and choose a dictionary category (Business, General, Law, Medicine, and PC) to use with each game.
