WordChallangeR

Hate to recite the f**king vocabulary again, again, again, and again?

But nobody can install the dictionary.apk to your brain, so you still have to recite it again, again and again, just like a masochist :D.

This tool can't give you a better brain, but it can save your time on organizing the vocabulary list.

wcR can:

• Generating PDF format vocabulary list.
• Generating web application for mobile device, so you do not need to install specific app for learning vocabulary.
• Making test paper for you to check the learning result.
• And some small toys :P.

Installation and config

• Download the wcR from github.

• Install Prince and R on your system.

• Apply for API from Youdao and Merriam-Webster Notice: On Merriam-webster Developer Center, there are many type of APIs, but wcR ONLY support 'Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary with Audio', so you should require for this API.

• Rename usr/sample.config.R to usr/config.R, and edit it: Fill the Youdao's API key and ‘key from’ like:

    EC_API <- '0000000000'
    EC_KEY_FROM <- 'Linda_wcR'
  

  and Fill the Merriam-Webster's API key like:

    EE_API <- '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
  

• Let wcR know how to call the Prince, like:

    PDF_GENERATOR_CALL <- '../bin/prince/bin/prince'
  

• Now, start .Rprofile(it's a file in the wcR's folder) with R, like:

    R .Rprofile
  

Get started

Now you can see $wc>on your screen, everything start here.

Create a new vocabulary list

• Type new [list name] to create a new list, like:

    new myList
  

• $new/? (0,0) > was printed on the screen. /? is the name of current unit, we haven't set any unit now, so it leaves a question mark. (0,0) is the position of the word, the first number means the # of unit, the second number means the # of the following word you'd input.

• We need a name for the first unit, so input >[unit name], like:

    >UnitOne
  

  Make sure the unit name ONLY have alphabets, without number, space, Chinese characters or others. >[unit name] is the command for switching between units or create a new unit.

• Type a word normally to add a new word.

• Type :v to see all words in the current list.

• :q to save the list, and quit the new tool.

• :fq to quit the new tool without saving the list.

• The new tool will save the current workspace automatically, so if the program crashed or you leaved the new tool by using the command :fq, you can simply enter the new tool by the command new, and type 1 to recover the workspace.

Generating a vocabulary list

• The command dictionary [list name] is for creating a new vocabulary list.
