Flash card
says: Would you please send this up as a feature request? I’m making bird ID cards for a trip to Hawaii. For the answer, I would like the common name, the Hawaiian name and the scientific name (those are traditionally indicated by different italicized fonts). This is much easier to use than Anki, but flash card formatting is a bit limited. Bullets would be nice too (make another card with important field marks list.
I would LOVE if there was a way to add audio file, so that the bird makes its noise when you look at it. It seems there are no audio field guides to Hawaii, so this is the best I will rig!
Thanks for considering tweaking this for this purpose!
I will add some sample flash cards from another program that is not as user-friendly. One side has the name of bird, the other side has name, but also well-known place to see it.
Would be excellent to have tags to sort. For example, within birds in Hawaii are Endemic, Non-Native/Inteoduced, Migrants; birds could be sorted by island, or by family (sparrows versus honey creepers vs shorebirds).
Then if I wanted to study only endemic species of Kauai, that would thin it down quite a bit.
But some of the migrants are in the lower 48! So nice to have a tag that filters specific shorebirds, so when I needed to study all my shorebirds, the ones that might be in Hawaii would also be present.
Thanks for considering!!

It would also be nice to have a “save” button or something. I have lost some work on flash cards as they’ve gotten overrun by people.
