It starts at 12 new cards per day and progresses from basic kana through kanji to full sentences. The device also shows the day's calendar items and weather from an online service. Because the ESP32-WROVER-E module has limited local storage, it can hold up to 16 flash cards at once, so a PC application is needed to obtain new ones. The software also works in the browser. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How many flash cards can the Inkplate 4Tempera store locally for the Enkiplate language app? The Inkplate 4Tempera can store up to 16 flash cards at a time due to the limited local storage of its ESP32-WROVER-E module. A separate PC application is required to load new cards onto the device, since the on-device storage alone isn't enough for ongoing learning. _Makers pairing e-ink hardware with learning apps track projects like this one on daily.dev._ ### What is Enkiplate and what device does it run on? Enkiplate is a flash card project by Peter Hraska for learning Japanese, designed to run on the Inkplate 4Tempera e-ink device (though it also works in a browser). It starts learners at a pace of 12 new cards per day, progressing from basic kana through kanji to full sentences, and also displays the day's calendar and weather. _Developers exploring niche e-ink and language-learning side projects follow builds like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Eeink Provides EInk, ESP32 Powered Text Adventures](https://daily.dev/posts/eeink-provides-eink-esp32-powered-text-adventures-4fjjrdx31) · Hackaday · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [This ESP32 e-ink project helps you start your day right, and it requires zero code to set up](https://daily.dev/posts/this-esp32-e-ink-project-helps-you-start-your-day-right-and-it-requires-zero-code-to-set-up-0jij6wc8s) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [You Can Now Craft E-Ink Faceplates for the Steam Machine](https://daily.dev/posts/you-can-now-craft-e-ink-faceplates-for-the-steam-machine-8tgbs2agw) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to build a f\*\*king printer](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-build-a-f-king-printer-ptkesw5pr) · Lobsters · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [This ESP32 e-Ink display keeps track of every country you've ever visited](https://daily.dev/posts/this-esp32-e-ink-display-keeps-track-of-every-country-you-ve-ever-visited-8qkjs4djo) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#iot](https://daily.dev/tags/iot) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/practice-japanese-on-an-inkplate-4tempera-eink-device-crev3i87d) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Practice Japanese On An Inkplate 4Tempera EInk Device","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/practice-japanese-on-an-inkplate-4tempera-eink-device-crev3i87d","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/practice-japanese-on-an-inkplate-4tempera-eink-device-crev3i87d"},"datePublished":"2026-10-26T20:17:39.036Z","dateModified":"2026-10-26T20:32:50.043Z","description":"Enkiplate is a flash card project for learning Japanese on the Inkplate 4Tempera e-ink device, named after Peter Hraska's project.
