- The Has Sound menu allows you to filter learned vocab items based on whether they are missing sound for either of their languages. By default, this menu will be set to Doesn't Matter, which will show vocab items whether or not they have any sound. To limit the display to vocab items that are missing one or more types of sound, you can choose No <Learning Language> Sound, No <Known Language> Sound, or No Sound instead.

Use the help button on the keyboard for more detailed typing information.
- The Language menu allows you to indicate the language in which to find the text from the Term field. By default, this menu will be set to Both Languages, which will show any vocab items containing the filter text in either the known language or the learning language. If you want to narrow the filter to a single language, choose the name of that language instead, then make sure that the term you have typed is in the correct language.
