Reader app for vocabulary building?

dalai · 05-06-2014, 07:24 AM

Does anyone know of a reading app that makes it easy to build a vocabulary list while reading a book? Ideally, it would send every word I've looked up - along with the sentence it appeared in - to something like Anki or at least save it somewhere. The sentence is important for context and for cases like the German separable verbs.

Of course I am willing to settle for some extra post-processing steps, but I would really like something that doesn't interrupt my reading. What I've tried so far required a bit of effort to look up the word, highlight the sentence, save the note and so on, which broke the flow.

Thank you

You don't say what you're reading on, but if you are reading on an android device (which presumably is why you posted in this forum) there are a number of apps in the Google store that might help e.g:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nary.vmrvictor

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ndroid.wordlog

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...m.usr.dict.mgr
