Pablo gets an update

Good news for Pablo users, the program gets an upgrade. Version 2.15 contains various improvements and 2 main features.

Upgrade in handwriting recognition

I have worked to improve the recognition. It is especially noticeable if you write in a cursive form, that is, by linking together some of the strokes, as often happens in natural handwriting.

Improved definition area
When displaying info for a single character, the definition character now shows the alternate pinyins of the same character, as well as the most frequent words using the character. In addition, Chinese characters in the definition area now work as hyperlinks: clicking on them searches the word directly.

Discover PINGRID version 3, complete Chinese vocabulary game

Make your learning time 100% useful

Pingrid was born as a clever game designed for learning Chinese vocabulary.

Later, Pingrid version 2 introduced a powerful spaced repetition model, to detect the words you need to train and therefore make your learning time 100% useful.

From the start, what makes Pingrid unique is that it is completely geared toward learning Chinese vocabulary.


Version 3 takes Pingrid to a new dimension, with handwriting traing! It combines two activities to memorize your Chinese vocabulary.

Picking words		Handwriting
Picking words in the grid is the original Pingrid training mode. It associates word, sound and meaning. Its power: super fast training. Priceless when you are serious about learning and have sizeable vocabulary to absorb.		Handwriting is new in Pingrid version 3: you have to draw characters with the mouse! Its power: active memorization. If you can write a word, then you are much more certain to recognize it.

And Pingrid's adaptive, spaced repetition model directs your effort to the words that do need repetition. No more cramming, your training time is 100% useful.
