  Analyze a Chinese text using your known words to gauge comprehension

A lot of learners use Chinese Text Analyzer, a paid (~$20 USD) piece of software that will scan some text and spit out % known words, number of chars/words, most common unknown words, HSK distribution etc. I tried the 14-day free trial, and while useful, its price tag kept me off. So, I developed a free tool with a server member called chinese-comprehension that does the exact same thing, albeit shown on as words not as graphics. While you will need to have Python installed, this is fairly straightforward.

- Anki. This is Pleco's flashcards with a ton more bells and whistles. It's a lot more customizable, and so you can put in anything from long-form sentences to images. I've found Pleco's flashcards to suit my needs, but if you need SRS for sentence mining (see my tool) or anything that Pleco can't provide, this is your next best bet. I use this for a few minutes a day in conjunction with a sentence deck, Spoonfed Chinese ($3).
