[ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Qteachme 0.1.1 is now available in extras-devel. This is a flashcard app developed primarily for N900/Maemo. It has the ability to import delimited text files. The delimiter can either be
'|', "\t", "," or ";" (in that order of preference). The app will check in the first line of the text file to see what delimiter is used.

The first time you launch Qteachme, you will directly come to the Import function. You can call the Import function from the menu later to import other files if you want to. Apart from the file name, you enter the name of the 'course'. Qteachme will split up the flashcards into 'chapters'. You can define the number of cards you want in each chapter. Finally, you give descriptive names to the 'sides' of the flashcards. For the Chinese.txt file which comes with the installation, I recommend entering Simplified, Pinyin and English. When you press the 'Import' button wait for a few seconds while the information is being loaded. When you're done importing, click outside the window to continue.

In the 'Settings' window you choose which course/chapter to study. Here you also select which side of the card to be shown for you to guess. Once you have guessed, the other sides will be displayed as well. You also define what words to display. 'All' means all the words of the chapter and 'Not learned' will show cards with a score <100%. The final setting is the order in which the cards are displayed.

In the main Qteachme window, you will first see the selected card. You press the 'Show' button and you get three buttons, Good, OK and Bad. Select according to how well you guessed the right answer. Words (cards) and chapters will be rated with a % score depending on how your learning progresses.

Qteachme will also display a score indicating how well you have been doing during the current session.

Known issues:

1) The app exits intermittently for no reason.
2) Support for multiple 'course' is there, but has barely been tested.
3) The app is supposed to remember the last course/chapter you have been studying when you open the app again, but it doesn't seem to work all the time.

Let me know if you have issues loading other text files than the one provided and I'll see if I can fix it. Feel free to add URLs to places where additional 'courses' can be found or add them as attachments.

The usual disclaimers for apps in Extras-Devel apply...

PS! For those of you who might have installed the .deb package that I made available previously in another thread here, please uninstall it first. You might also have to delete the qteachme.db file as the database structure has changed. It is always safe to delete that file as the app will recreate it if it is missing.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Oh wow!

This looks excellent! :D

I take it that you're using the QT language for this which means a possible Maemo 4 port is completely out of the question?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Yes, it is using Qt. I must say I didn't even consider Maemo 4/Diablo, so I have no idea as to what the effort would be. If anyone has any experience doing it, I could look into it sometime in the future.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Thanks!

It sounds like it would be a lot of trouble though but I appreciate the thought of looking into this for us N8x0 users.

Cheers!

But Maemo 4 does have Qt (AFAIK), so it shouldn't be too difficult to port this.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

I have uploaded a Diablo version which should make it available for Maemo 4. Please note that I have no way to test this, so you're on your own here...

If indeed it does work, I'm impressed by this whole Qt thing!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Well, it works on Maemo 4.1, sort of :) The dialogs feel very weird, it shows that they were created with Fremantle in mind (Maemo 4.x does not auto-fullscreen dialogs nor is there a default tap-outside-for-cancel-or-close action). But it does run, so I guess it's a start :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

I can see what you mean by being on my own here. :)

Well, I hope it's okay to mention a few things with it.

Here's my screenshot of importing your default text file.
http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1...0031400303.png

From here, I choose "Import" and see the "Importing." notification for a few seconds.

Tapping outside the box does nothing so I go ahead and press the hardware escape button and I'm brought to this screen.
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/671...0031400342.png

Tapping on Course or Chapter yields nothing, not even the hildon keyboard appears.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

When I choose Done I get the same screenshots as yours once I press the fullscreen hardware button only there isn't any text in the flashcards.

Nuts.

Also, is the specific to only learning languages?

I was hoping to use Qteachme with something similar to this.
http://umed.med.utah.edu/pda/flashca...ner%20lec8.txt

Thanks buddy!

Oh, and if this is too much trouble all around, can someone recommend an alternative app? This is my first attempt at trying out flashcards on the device.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Thanks for the screenshots!

I'll add a 'Done' button on the import dialog. Maybe that will make sure that the app will proceed normally.

It might be that you have to close the app and start it again, then go to Settings and see if you can select courses/chapters.

In theory, it should work with the kind of flashcards that you linked to as well. Do you have loads of files like that? If not, it should be fairly easy to change the file to a supported format. If the Q: and A: format is common for flashcard files, I could add support for that directly in the app.

Again, thanks for the feedback!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Heya Magnus!

Okay, here's the first thing that occurs when starting your app.

I tried your suggestion even before you mentioned them but nothing gets saved over when closing the program. Tried a few other tricks as well with no luck.

My interest with this is basically finding the work that others have already provided to save on time.

I haven't looked too deeply but this site seems like a really nice place to start.
http://umed.med.utah.edu/pda/flashcards/

So yeah, I probably would go through most of them if Qteach supported their format.

Cheers!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

I'd guess you are missing the sqlite library. You might want to try apt-get -install libsqlite3-0. You might have to have root privileges to do this.

On Fremantle, I can type the following:

/usr/bin/sqlite -version

which will return the version which is installed. In my case it is, 3.6.14, but anything starting with a 3 should be ok AFAIK. Maybe attila77 can provide some guidance on this as he seems to have it running on his device?

I'll try to implement support for the Q: and A: style of formatting with the next update.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Yep, I don't have sqlite. Poopers.

I never seem to have any luck with dependency issues and hate being a drag on others having to constantly ask questions on such trivial things. :(

Anyway,
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/s/sqlite3/

An error occurred while processing your request.

Stupid tablet.

Give up on me while you still have the chance. :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

So embarassing... It should be:

apt-get install libsqlite

Not '-install'...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Okay. Now I'm at this unhappy place. :)

Code:

[1|root@Nokia-N800-43-7|~]apt-get install libsqlite3-0

libsqlite3-0 is already the newest version.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

-bash: /usr/bin/sqlite: No such file or directory

I checked and /usr/bin/ goes from sort to ssh alphabetically, there's no sqlite inbetween.

I do have this though.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

I'm running out of ideas, but you may want to try these two packages as well:

apt-get install libqt4-sql
apt-get install libqt4-sql-sqlite

I would say these are needed... I had them already installed due to another package (PyQt), so didn't notice this dependency. No need for any sqlite package install manually, the qt dep will pull in all that is necessary.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Nuts.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

This one didn't say too much. The apt-get -f install suggestion had nothing to do with sqlite. It only brought up fceu, kernal rotation and skippy, which is other junk I had trouble installing some time ago.

It's okay if we just stop this whole thing right here. No need to make eachother suffer like this anymore. :)

Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread any further, so please post any questions, issues, suggestions, complaints, praise, ... on Qteachme on its own thread. It is actively supported at the moment, so I will listen to feedback.

Hey, I tried it a couple times but found that it exits on its own a bit too often for practical use. don't know when exactly, I'll try and pinpoint the times. I found your pre-made cards very convenient (as you know from the other thread I'm studying Chinese so it's perfect) but it's just not stable yet. The only reason I love Anki so much is that it had the decks you can download for it. If Qteachme gets more stable I'll definitely be using it instead...thanks for the good work nonetheless!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

Where should i download the flashcards from?

I want to learn german

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Qteachme

so, i was referred here from the anki thread. i don't have the link as i am on my n900. i would like to know if the qteachme software implements spaced repetition, and if it has any desktop version.

You may want to try this instead. The difference is the '2' at the end.

Code:

apt-get install libqt4-sql-sqlite2

Let me know if it fixes the problem...

Btw... Good news is that there is a solution to the 'automatic exit' problem! I had the same issue in my other app, QSportsEvent, and it should be very possible to fix it for Qteachme as well. As soon as PR1.2 is out and I can upload a new version to Extras-Devel, you should be able to get the latest version.
