vokabi
is a Vocabulary Learning Assistant with automatically generated execises.

Summary

Vokabi project aims to create an application that allows non-native speakers to improve their vocabulary skills while working with any english texts - for example while surfing the web, working, studying. In that way users can learn what they actually need.

If you have trouble understanding a text or single words, copy it to vokabi application. The program will look up the diffcult words and expressions (it has an embedded full-size dictionary) to help you understand the text. The program also records all the words and expressions you look up. You can later decide which of them are important to learn. You can then learn the words from your list by doing interactive exercises. The program will generate the exercises on-the-fly. An important feature is that the program keeps track of the words you know so it can prepare exercises that match your current vocabulary level!     Read more in concept.pdf

The current application may not offer all the features but it's already worth trying. We appreciate any feedback, don't hesistate to contact us.
