AnkiMaker
AnkiMaker lets you automatically create Anki Decks by loading lists of words and then looking up the definitions.
You can load words from
- Your Kindle's Vocabulary Builder list
- [Soon] A list of words (so that you can use frequency lists and the like)
- [Soon] The words on a file (so you can learn all the words in a book before you read it)
...and make an Anki deck using those words and
- Definitions from OED
- The sentence where you originally encountered those words on your kindle
- [Soon] Other dictionaries
- [Soon] Pronunciations
- [Soon] Images from Google
How to use it
- The Vocabulary Builder's list of your Kindle is under [Your Kindle filesystem]/system/vocabulary/vocab.db.
- Get credentials for the OED's API. Go here and create a Free account. This will grant you 3000 word lookups a month, which is probably enough (and if it isn't you can just make another account). Then click on Credentials and open None's app. This will show you your Application ID and your Application Keys
