These scenarios are also part of what we call "comprehensible input"! Here's what you can do: 1. First, take a picture to preserve the scene. 2. When you have time, quickly add and organize the word. 3. Use spaced repetition to review these words; the photos will help you understand and remember the words! We hope this app, with its philosophy, can help you gradually build your core vocabulary and use it to understand and remember more words. Main Features * Quick Photo Recognition: When you encounter new words or unfamiliar items, just take a photo, look up the word, and save the scene. * Action Extension: With Action Extension, you can quickly view words in pictures or text through "Share" anywhere in the system and add them to your wordbook! * Batch Import: The batch import feature allows you to quickly build and manage your personal vocabulary. * Personalized Vocabulary Building: You can manage your vocabulary, adjusting it entirely based on your preferences. * Simple and Effective Review: Through spaced repetition review (Ebbinghaus), it helps you consolidate memory.
