Chapter 6
Setting Preferences
The Preferences page can be accessed via the Tools/Preferences
menu option from the main reader screen.

You can set the following preferences:
- Flashcard Type
Pick from either Simple or Auto Info. This determines what
happens when the Auto button is selected in flashcard mode. If
the Flashcard Type is set to Simple, the flashcards are
automatically shuffled through and presented to the user. If
Auto Info mode is selected, in addition to this after a flashcard
is displayed, its dictionary information will be briefly
displayed before showing the next flashcard.
- Flashcard Time
This option determines how long each flashcard is displayed when
the Auto button is selected in flashcard mode.
- Lookup Time
If the Flashcard Type is set to Auto Info, this option determines
how long the dictionary information will be displayed for each
flashcard.
- Input Mode
This option determines what input mode is used for manual
dictionary lookups. Choose from either Kana, which presents an
on-screen kana keyboard, or Romaji, which uses a standard text
field which you fill in with Romanized Japanese text.
- Output Mode
This option determines how the pronounciation of dictionary words
is displayed. If set to Kana, Japanese kana characters are used
to display the prounciation. If set to Romaji, the romanized
form is displayed.
- Auto-Off
Useful for extended periods of "hands-free" studying using the
Auto Flashcard mode. If you set this option to Disable, the
Palm device will not automatically turn itself off if you don't
touch the screen or buttons for several minutes. If you use this
option, be careful not to leave your Palm device running
unattended or you may drain the batteries.
- Find Button
Determines the behavior of the Find button on the main reader
screen. Choose from one of:
Find First - Find words starting
with the currently selected text in the document you are reading.
Find Exact - Find words exactly
matching the currently selected text in the document you are
reading.
Manual - Pop up an input field to
perform a manual search.
- Scroll Amount
This option determines whether the Next and Prev buttons (and the
up/down hardware buttons) scroll by a single line or an entire
page.
- Kanji Quiz
Controls the size of displayed Kanji characters in Kanji Quiz
mode. Choose from Small Size (16x16), Normal Size (24x24) or
Large Size (48x48).
