Exporting Mnemosyne data to something Palm-compatible

[PlusAlpha]

Hi, I have been using Mnemosyne learn hanzi. It's a great system, and I would like to go over my cards even when I'm not sitting in front of my desk, and seeing as how I have a Palm pilot, I was thinking of purchasing Supermemo for Palm.

Can anybody tell me if there is a way to export my Mnemosyne file into a form that is usable by Supermemo for Palm?

If not, are there any other flashcard systems out there that I can run on my palm which can import my Mnemosyne data?

Thanks in advance

yes, you can easily export from Mnemosyne and then import with Supermemo.

Anki has a (no cost) palm version, and it can import Mnemosyne XML databases too.

How do you import mnemosyne xml databases into Anki?

I'm sure I'm missing something, but can't find that option...

I don't know if the Palm version supports it, but the desktop version should, at least according to their changelog

Changes since 0.2.7

Mnemosyne import support

You might have to load the deck into a desktop version of Anki and export that, I'm not sure. Otherwise, you can export your deck as a tab-separated-value file and import that, but you'll lose all your scheduling data.

I can import the mnemosyne deck into desktop anki, but I haven't been able to export anything to Ankibuilder that displays properly... any help would be appreciated

I've only had fleeting contact with Anki, so I don't know. Have you considered writing an email to their mailing list?

Thanks very much for all of your replies.

You can't import xml into Anki. You have to import the xml into mnemosyne, save it (or export it as a txt), and then import it into Anki. .mem or .txt files will import, not much else.

It's a pain, but that's the best solution I've come up with.

Note that there are two different programmes out there, both called Anki. One is at www.anki.com, another completely different programme is at http://www.anki.ichi2.net/anki/index.html . The first is designed for palm, the second isn't.

I started using the second one fairly recently -- it is excellent but not palm compatible (though you can run the programme online so a palm browswer should be okay...).
