jVLT - a vocabulary learning tool
Additional features:
- As jVLT is written in JAVA, it runs on many platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
- The data storage format is (zipped) XML, making it possible to easily convert your vocabulary into other formats, e.g. for displaying it on a web page.
- You can perform complex searches (e.g. "Show me all the words that occurred in a quiz during the last three days").
- The vocabulary list (or a part of it) can be printed.
- CSV (comma separated values) files can be used to import words and examples.

offers the possibility to design custom quizzes where the field to quiz on and
the fields that are shown as a hint can be chosen. Other additions in
comparison to release 1.0.2 are two language detail files for Greek and for
Sanskrit, the latter one containing 20 word classes and 30 attributes.

this new development snapshot. It allows you to store the filters by assigning
a name to them and later select them from a list. It is now also possible to
apply multiple filters successively during a quiz. That way, you can, for
example, first test all of the words from lesson X, then from lesson Y etc.

Changes: This development snapshot adds the possibility to adjust
the expiration times, that means the time after which a word becomes

Changes: This release allows to export words and examples into
files either in jVLT format or in CSV format. When importing
CSV files, a word can now have multiple senses. There is also
an option to play audio files automatically when you select an
entry in the word list.
