Coding Snacks / Re: Reading a book and learning vocabulary

The Chrome addon is adopted !

Is not the tool I wish now. I need to capture the meaning to process . And not only the meaning of a word. The meaning of several words.

Note : I don't know if is possible to search for phrases or compound words.

In the e-book is not possible. If I selected a group of word try to open wikipedia, and gives me also the possibility to translate with google translate ( I need to think in english, so I don't want to translate...)

This does not match what you are looking for, but it may help you in many other ways.

It's a Chrome extension that allows you to double-click any word in your browser and it will show a definition. It also places an extension icon near your address bar which allows you to type in a word to find the definition. The downsides are that it doesn't work offline and obviously won't help you with text outside of your browser (which probably includes the book you're reading).

I've used it for years and really like it.

I also remember an utility specially made for traductors in autohotkey that was able to launch searchs and other abilities.
I don't remember now its name, but I will investigate

Running to see the chrome addon.

But I read the ebook in a kindle, not in a browser.
I am supposing is more easy to find words in a offline dictionary.

Each word may have a lot of meanings. And I need all the meanings.
So a word or derivative may have from one line to many lines of text.

I use a program that identify the block with two ** (one at the beginning and other at the end)

I don't know if this software exists. Probably not.

Recently, as you may know, one of my six monitors kaputt.

Kaputt The LG Flatron W2453V-PF .

I was in consults a large time with Asus technician until a moment I thought the best aptitude was the silence because I don't see alternatives except don't allow the suspension of the pc.


This monitor have a switch ON button by sensor.
Four monitor by simple button
And the fifth with button and tele control.

 

The real interesting time after all these months with the problem is that I need to use the utility Don'tSleep for 64 bit to avoid the equipment enter in suspend state.

Even configurating the energy options to never suspend.

But now. with the rest of my monitors (five) my problems have ceased.

I remember the asus technician talking about monitor frequencies, complex compatibilities.


Ejem. A `program to determine this ?

 


Note : Basically my problem consisted that when the system was suspended I was not able to recover the system or come back from the suspension. No possible to reboot and have to turn off completely the pc and the monitors. Then wait a time (a half an hour or so) and turn on the pc.

Well, I would have asked for (more) ideas too, but I have a project that I built earlier this year that I intend to publish for NANY 2018, and because of my new job, starting on October 1st, I'm uncertain how my spare time will end up

Maybe I'll pick up a new idea/project from this thread though it's a bit slim for now...

The message I need in mind.

May be a simple txt file where I can add new messages.

When a new message appear in an alarm window i will have the opportunity to + importance or - less importance , or execute.
This will do that messages with more importance appear more times, and less importants less times. More important appear often.
I can configure the frequency these messages appear .

Best Regards

Note : Don't have to be tasks. In a virtual sense may be any question you need to solve.

I need an app for from an english list of word in a txt file search those words in the dictionary (predetermined dictionary). Then create a new txt file with the meanings and even, if possible , create a apkg for Anki to learne those words.

I have in the past a program able to locate from a txt file the strings in tabs of Internet Explorer, so I think this is possible.

Usually the heavy part of learning vocabulary is prepare the list of word to learn with space repetitive learning.

Now I am reading the novel "The information" and writing down to a txt file any word I don't understand.

I need practice !!!!!!!!!!

The name of the program : Cardulario !!!!!!!

or Cardial

- Whats on your desktop
- Must-have apps in the system tray....

etc.

I am using windows 8.1
But the last is windows 10

I observ that some posts are abandoned because they were posted when windows xp, or with windows 7.

Is it possible to edit the titles of these posts to limit the operating system that are related to them ?

By example

Whats on your desktop (with windows xp or prior...)
Must-have apps in the system tray (with windows 7 or prior...)

Coding Snacks / [SOLVED]Reading a book and learning vocabulary

« Last post by Contro on September 07, 2017, 04:03 AM »

I know in this forum there is an english free dictionary. Wordnet or something like that. It can be used offline.
I am reading english books. At this moment I am reading The Information by Martin Amis.

I am writing down the words I don't understand to a txt file.
I would like from this list create a new list that include the meaning of each word of that list.

so I need to launch a search in a prefixed dictionary and add the meaning.

Do you know a script to do this ?

Best Regards

Note : The superb thing may be to add this words to a program like anki to practice the vocabulary I need to understand completely the novel.

What can we do now ?
The post is opened but not working !!!!!!

-Contro (August 09, 2017, 05:13 AM)

Just as has happened before, it is quite difficult to understand what you are saying...

We had come to a working solution (post #18 in this thread, accepted by you in post #19), with only 1 question remaining:
- What should happen if a line in the file has only 1 period in it. Should that line be removed, or should it remain in the output?

Until this question is answered (I have asked 4 times before for an answer on this, this is the 5th and last time), any other questions (or solutions) here should be postponed, IMHO.

-Ath (August 09, 2017, 05:38 AM)

I understand.
Sorry if I cannot do my best.
