14 DAY TRIAL // Leading mobile software developer SPB Software, announced a few days ago the release of a new application aimed at handsets running under Samsung's bada operating system, namely SPB Flash Cards. Made available for bada on February 1st, the mobile application is already present on a range of other mobile platforms, offering users the possibility to easily learn foreign languages on their mobile phones.
“Traditional flash cards for learning foreign languages enhanced with smartphone technologies like photos, native speakers' dubbing, learning progress visualization, smart adaptive algorithm, and detailed statistics,” the software developer notes.
“The program helps you to skip the stage of translating a word into your mother tongue first, but memorizing a direct match of a subject and a foreign word instead.”
Some of the main features of the software would include:
1000+ words 65+ categories Explicit photos for all words Sliding and rotating finger-friendly cards Voice records by native speakers
According to the company, the bada application offers a new approach to flash cards. Through it, users can expand their vocabulary, while enjoying a number of five different learning models and three ways of memorizing, including visual, audible and textual.
Users can also track their progress of learning a new language via a series of detailed statistics included with SPB Flash Cards, and would enjoy a smart algorithm for adapting the learning process.
There are 15 languages that SPB Flash Cards would offer support for, namely English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Polish, and Czech.
The bada version of the application comes with support for five mobile phones from Samsung, namely Wave723 (S7230E), Wave525 (S5250), Wave533 (S5330), Wave II (S8530), and Wave (S8500).
