May be of interest for Skritterers.

Hehe. We need to add pictures of cats to the vocabulary...

You can add img:http://www.example.com/some_image.png to your custom definitions or mnemonics to get them to display images, at least in the web app. At some point we plan to come out with an official set (probably based on all the hard work Byzanti has done).

is there an app that I can use on my iPhone to point and shoot a picture and have that picture become a flash card? Could a future build of Skritter include such a thing? (For example, I see a cat playing with a ball of yarn. I use the app to take a picture of the cat and yarn, and then follow prompts to fill in flash card data. I put in the word "yarn" and select 纱 as the translation. Later I review the card and see the picture including the cute cat, forcing my brain to indelibly remember the word in Chinese for yarn. Maybe a whole new product: "kitty-skritter"
