A Byki list is a collection of learnable information, usually a set of words or phrases in a foreign language, expressed on flash cards. Byki lists may include sound or images for each card and may be viewed on Byki.com, or downloaded for use in free or Deluxe versions of the Byki software for PCs and Macs. New Feature! Lists can also be downloaded onto an iPhone or iPhone Touch with Byki for iPhone Apps.
A tag is a keyword or category grouping that describes a Byki list and can be used to find lists that have something in common. You can assign multiple tags to each list. To assign multiple tags at the same time, enter the tags separated by a single space, then click "Add Tags".
Do not enclose tags in quotation marks. Tags can use letters, numbers, and some special characters, such as hyphens, underscores, and periods. Tags cannot use the following special characters:
"#%&*+/:<=>?@[\]^`{}|~
Byki uses an intelligent method to present information in the best possible order to help you learn. You will see items you have trouble with more often than those you master quickly. When you get a card wrong, you will see it again immediately.
Some languages require certain fonts be installed to display characters. If you cannot see the characters in a list, you may download and install it with Byki on your desktop to set the font for your system. Or, you may install the fonts yourself in your control panel. Once the font is installed, lists in that language should display properly on Byki.com.
Just type the base letter and then press Ctrl-UpArrow. Keep pressing Ctrl-UpArrow until the accent you want has appeared. For more help, press the question mark button on Byki.
If a list has sound for each card, it will play automatically whenever the foreign word or phrase is displayed. You may also play the sound for any card by pressing the play sound button on the bottom left. Slow sound may be used by pressing the turtle button.
