Detailed Explanations and Examples

Track Your Recently-Memorized Words

Auto-Completion (Experiment)

Note: The suggestions are ranked by word frequencies. Unfortunately, windows system is not compatible with python tab completion. See details here.

Note

1. You may need to use Windows Terminal to see the emojis.
2. You need internet connection to get the meanings of words at the first time.

OS

1. Linux
2. Windows
3. MacOS

Install

python setup.py install

Note: Do NOT use pip install cmdict because there is a package called cmdict written by others in the pip repo. By doing this you will download the wrong package. I am still looking for workaround for this.

Run

python -m cmdict

Customize Your Vocab List

Just replace cmdict/data/words.txt with your own vocab list. The default one is derekchuank/high-frequency-vocabulary

TODO List

• [x] Add cache to reduce requests.

• [x] Add vocabulary auto-completion support.
• [x] Release python module.
• [ ] Give a prompt to enforce saving OOV words. e.g. xxxxx seems not an English word. Do you want to save xxxxx ? y/[n]
