yomichan: a tool for reading books with Anki vocab deck integration

#73
Interesting point, Nestor. Actually another thing that I could see being useful is the ability to highlight words in the edict output in the definitions field of Yomichan and have only those definitions added to the flashcard (perhaps everything else can be auto-deleted somehow). This would mean that you would only have the definition that you see in the text. Also, something that could add the sentence the word comes in would also be handy as a contextual tool.

Also, a floating add button underneath the text you highlight (perhaps activated on shift+middle mouse button). With this you could look at the definition in the definition pane and if the top most is correct, add right away!

I have to agree about Translation Aggregator integration of some sort. That is quite an impressive tool and if something like that were manageable, in terms of a similar output (perhaps just a Google sentence translation and WWWJDIC gloss, I think this would be an all-in-one tool for creating whole decks in minimal time.)

Lol, aren't we language learners so greedy!

Edit: HO HO!!! I've just found an interesting work around. Post your text to Translation Aggregator (500 char limit) then cut and paste to a text file. Save and open with Yomichan. Now all of your vocabulary is lined up nicely underneath your sentence. You can now just scroll down and quickly add anything. Now to find a way to set it up, so there are no repetitions of words. Ah the magic of software tools.
