jVLT - a vocabulary learning tool

• As jVLT is written in JAVA, it runs on many platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
• The data storage format is (zipped) XML, making it possible to easily convert your vocabulary into other formats, e.g. for displaying it on a web page.
• You can perform complex searches (e.g. "Show me all the words that occurred in a quiz during the last three days").
• The vocabulary list (or a part of it) can be printed.
• CSV (comma separated values) files can be used to import words and examples.
