You can link similar words manually, e.g. via tags. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I know this doesn't work too well with the iPad (it works, but the experience isn't the
same as on the desktop) because of the html frames Has anyone tried this with other tablets (Android, Kindle Fire, etc) and if so, does it work like it does on the desktop? Derek 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Is it possible to delete several words at once (or better: modify the language) ? I've add about 100 words in the wrong language and it is so boring to delete them one by one...
EDIT: I've figured it out, thank you. Edited by Ibryam000 on 28 March 2012 at 9:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've tried it on a 7" Android tablet. It works, but it's not a pleasant experience. There's just not enough screen real estate. Also, I have problems with the dictionary frame showing up on first showing. I have to reload the page for it to show up. I used the standard browser that ships with Android. I haven't gotten around to trying Dolphin or another browser. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just use LWT since a few weeks and I have to say i'm very happy to discover this program and i'm surpised
and impressed by it's effectiveness. I used to read texts with the iBooks app (on the iPad), to look up the words I don't know in different dictionary's. When I found the correct translation, I marked the word(s) in the text to make a note with the translation. This was not a bad way to learn vocabulary for me, but it was very slow and it was much work to make flashcards for every word in Anki. Now that I use LWT, it's so much more easier to look up the translations and to put everything in Anki. It was not easy to install the program, altough not impossible for someone who doesn't know very much of computers (like me) if you follow the instructions step by step. Any any case, it is definitely worth the effort to try it. The program could be improved on several aspects, like a solution for all the scrolling for example, an easier way to install the program or a possibility to add a fourth dictionary, but i'm very satisfied with LWT and I would recommend this program to everyone who learns a foreign language.
I read the texts mostly on my iPad and it works well, but only with short texts. I usually copy a news article or a Wikipedia article. The scrolling gets very annoying in the case with longer texts. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Importing text frequently? Still manually highlighting and copy & paste into LWT?
Well, I've found that Clearly (plugin made by Evernote) helps. It's strips away the crud on a page to view only the article. So, you can just Ctrl-A to copy the article. Helps just a little. A LWT-specific plugin would be better, obviously. Anyone made one? 4 persons have voted this message useful |
