A tool that helps foreign language learners pick unknown words from any song/article/other text they like, and quickly generate long lists of these words along with translations and the context they're used within.
The generated list can be downloaded as a .csv file which can be imported in Anki, spreadsheet programs like Excell, or anything else that supports csv.
- Splits the text you give it (called a text source) into smaller chunks so that you're not overwhelmed.
- On each turn gives you the next chunk, words are in the form of clickable buttons.
- You select any unknown words.
- For each unknown word:
- Gives you a dictionary (chosen by you) open right at the chosen word
- Asks you for the translation apropriate for the context
- Chooses the whole text chunk as the context for the word. You have the option to choose a smaller part from it.
- Shows you the next chunk when you're ready with this one.
- Gives you a Download button - you can click it any time you want. Best when you've gone through all chunks of the current text.
Every word you save goes to the browser's local storage so that your work is not lost when you close the browser.
- This means, you can start now, save some words and come back tomorrow.
You can have as many different texts at a single moment as you want.
- This allows you, for example, to add songs' lyrics to слово-chooser as you listen, and process all of them at once when you feel like doing so.
- For your convenience, you can give a name for each text source so that you know where the words you're translating come from.
A build of the code is available here: http://code-hunger..io/slovo-chooser
Initially you'll be prompted to enter a text source. Paste the lyrics of a foreign language song you like, set a name, and enjoy it!
