chaseman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 English is my 3rd language, while surfing and reading a lot I'm coming across a lot of vocabularies that I'd like to save in a list for later use, so I can look them up and memorize them. I was wondering if there's a tool that would enable me to do that? I looked into Google Chrome extensions but I couldn't find anything that would fit my needs. I hope somebody on here has a tip for me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I don't know of such a tool i am afraid. But what you could do is make your own. It doesn't have to be very fancy just make a simple database application to insert and select data, maybe even with categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseman Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah I thought about that, but that would also mean I'd have to switch tabs all the time. I was looking for something as in (1) selecting the word, (2) right clicking (3) choosing save - which is something very quick and easy that does not disturb the workflow.

.josh Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 If you are using firefox, then stf should work for you. Since you want to save to a single file, you will have to change some of the option settings (by default it saves each time to a separate file). With this addon I can highlight something on my page and rightclick and it shows in the menu "Append to [filename]" and I click on that and it appends to that file.

And my settings also have it save some info about where I highlighted (page title, timestamp, url) - you can have it not show any of that if you just want the words themselves, though IMO this info might also be useful to you as a reference.
