"my words" beta feature. How does it work?

ghira · 04-01-2023, 09:27 AM

I have enabled the "my words" beta feature but when I look in "activities" I don't see any of the words I have looked up since enabling it. Am I doing something wrong? Does this feature work for anyone else?

It works fine for me on many different Kobos.

To see the added words, from the Home screen select the "More" menu, then "Activities," then from the three choices at the top of the screen ("Reading Stats," "Awards," "My Words") select "My Words."

If yours aren't showing up, perhaps you're using a non-standard dictionary instead of one of the ones Kobo provides?

I see nothing. All my dictionaries are Kobo-provided ones.

Ah. I need to explictly add the words with an "add to my words" buttton I'd not noticed before. I thought it sounded like all words I looked up were added to the list. Sorry for the disturbance.
