Project Overview
This project provides a tool for learning English vocabulary, designed specifically for English learners, by expanding their vocabulary through reading English or bilingual articles. Users can automatically extract words from the learning articles, analyze word frequency, filter words, and track and record their mastery level.
- Vocabulary Learning Tool! Enter the URL of an English or bilingual article, and this tool will automatically extract all words and their corresponding sentences from the article, deduplicate and summarize the words in the article. You can filter to display only the words you don’t know.
- This tool supports custom dictionary libraries, allowing users to add their own dictionary libraries for referencing word meanings during the learning process.

Key Features
- Word Extraction and Recording: Enter a URL, and the tool automatically retrieves and extracts all words and their contextual sentences from the web article. Additionally, it calculates and displays the vocabulary size of the article.
- Intelligent Management and Filtering: Avoid redundant learning of words you already know by utilizing deduplication and excluding options for mastered vocabulary, allowing you to focus on learning new words.
- Learning Progress Tracking: Words can be marked with different cognitive levels, including “0: Unknown,” “1: Recognized”, “2: Familiar”, “3: Proficient”. This helps customize the learning path while enhancing memory retention.
- Filtered Browsing Functionality: Filter out words of specific cognitive levels, for example, selecting the “0” tag displays all the words you are yet to understand.
- Synchronization and Platform Compatibility: Developed using Go and Flutter for cross-platform applications, supports usage on Android, Linux, and Windows, with data synchronization between devices, enabling convenient learning without constraints.
- Web Version Support: Supports local or cloud deployment, enabling access to the web application via a browser, offering a consistent user experience with desktop and mobile applications.
- Local Data Storage: No reliance on backend servers, ensuring all data is securely stored locally.
Development and Technical Support
-
This tool is developed with a focus on cross-platform compatibility and user convenience. It not only utilizes the high-performance Go language for core logic but also employs Flutter to ensure a smooth user interface experience and consistency across platforms. Whether users are learning on any device, they can ensure seamless synchronization of their learning progress.

With a focus on English learning needs, our goal is to create a simple, efficient, and user-friendly vocabulary learning aid. We welcome you to use this tool to accelerate your language learning journey.
Reading and Vocabulary Expansion
Reading English articles is widely recognized as an effective way to expand vocabulary. According to data analysis, about 50% to 70% of the vocabulary in each English article is considered effective. Please note that punctuation marks, articles, prepositions, and other simple vocabulary (such as “a,” “in,” “on,” “the,” “I,” “than,” “you,” “he,” etc.) have been automatically excluded from the articles. We suggest you:
- Consistently Read Daily: Develop a habit of reading English articles daily, whether it’s news, academic papers, or novels.
- Record New Vocabulary: When encountering new words, use this tool to record them and classify their cognitive levels.
Measuring Progress
Continuous reading practice will directly reflect in the growth of your vocabulary. Over time, you will notice:
- Reduction in "0-level Unknown Words": The number of completely unfamiliar words encountered when reading each new article will gradually decrease.
- Improved Reading Speed: You will read articles faster and with a significant increase in comprehension depth and speed.
Consistently practicing reading and using tools to assist you in recording and reviewing these new words is key to improving your English proficiency. As your vocabulary grows, you will not only read more fluently but also enhance your writing and conversational skills.
