Learning English with the help of the media: how to hack his memory

What if the thirst for knowledge of the English language was attacked in the long road, but only a smartphone or tablet at hand? You can sleep. And you can sleep and, with renewed strength, to start the following terms to the mobile version of English. Since I rogue and not bummed iPhones happy owner of android-devaysa, I will describe the interaction with the operating system.

For an understanding of the material are urged to read the previous first and second articles. In this again we will study English-language video and in parallel to generate cards for further learning in Anki app.

And watching a video, everything is clearly shown.

Prepare another record type. In order not to suffer - copy SayItAgain (see second article).

• Click Tools \ Office of the types of records \ Add \clone "SayItAgain", And somehow we call, say"FromAndroid «.

• Choosing our record type, select the button to the right "Field". «Notes» Remove the field.
• If you do not need a "reverse" card - remove it. If you leave, then, if necessary, redefine it in the administration received cards in the deck of another, for example, the same "

  FromAndroid ». But personally, I create a separate, something like «inverted (Android)».

• Sync.

Set on an android device the following applications:

• Copy paste It. It requires Root. Appendix paid (250 p.), There is a trial version, but (He says in a whisper)_{4pda It has not been canceled}. Also there is a similar, but does not require Root access - Copy text. Trial version is not worth the same 250 rubles, much different - I do not know, the second time to buy an application toad presses.

• Vocabulary. I use GoldenDict, It is fast, it is more convenient to copy the words than in ColorDict, for example.

• text clipboard manager. I prefer Clipper.

• Video player with subtitle support. The best, as far as I know it MX Player.

Further:

• Configuring Copy Paste It (or Copy text): include options to activate the application (I configured activation shake apparatus), remove the 3-second delay, corresponding stamped if required tick.
• For route-users in SuperSU application for Copy Paste It expose the "Notifications" - "It is forbidden." It is necessary to notice did not spoil the OCR.

• Throws video and subtitles to your device.
• Start the video, include subtitles.

Further, there are two possible ways:

1) The slow way, without modification to the PC.

• Upon detection of an unfamiliar word, activate Copy Paste It, customize the frame to the desired us the phrase context. Click Copy.

• The app will attempt to recognize text (internet connection required). 95 percent it does, the rest have to manually edit the.
• Try to keep the target text at the bottom or top of the screen - will help when editing. To customize this frame on each side, then clicking inside frames, move the image up or down.
• Copy the resulting text.
• Open Ankidroid, click the plus sign below, select the type of note «FromAndroid», insert the text in the «example». From this field, our copy an unknown word is inserted in the «word».
• Remove the target word from the context, instead put any symbols.
• Open GodenDict, insert a word, choose the appropriate translation, copy it.
• Open Ankidroid, insert the translation in the «definition».
• Again, open GodenDict, copy transcription.
• «Transcription» Open Ankidroid, inserted into the field.
• Hit add.
• Learn.

2) A quick way, but needs some work on the PC.

Clipboard to the Clipboard to be cleaned (top button \ recycle symbol in the Clipboard tab).

• When unfamiliar words activate Copy Paste It, customize the frame to the desired us the phrase context.
• Click Copy.
• Edit. You can select an unknown word, for example, \ so that in the future this will come in handy.
• Copy the resulting text.
• We go back to watching the video, repeat the procedure as necessary.
• Upon completion of the open Clipper, Select all words in the clipboard, we press the arrow at the top, select "... a line break."

• We get one bar of our copied phrases. You can be copied to any text file on the device. The paid version is available for server synchronization https://www.clippersync.com/. As an option - directly from the program or send in evernote pushbullet.

On the computer:

• Copy tekstovik obtained on PC (open a corresponding text fragment in Evernote / pushbullet / www.clippersync.com).
• Open a spreadsheet editor, such as Microsoft Excel, copy a column of lyricist right (fourth) column of the generated table. It will be contextual phrase.
• Copy unknown to us the words of the right column to the left (first), and immediately remove them from the context, instead of them put any symbols.
• With the first column Do the familiar operation: Go http://lingorado.com/Derived transcription inserted into the second column.
• Throws English words into Google Translate, adjust the translation according to the context. Words, doubt, or where no appropriate translation was found, look in the dictionary, for example in the same GodenDict.
• Insert the resulting transfer in the third column.

• Copy everything to a text file, save, close.
• We import into Anki in a previously created record type «FromAndroid«. Choose or create any deck.
• Sync, teach.

As you can see, the process is not very convenient. But he has one more use. Games. If you set any mnogotekstovoy RPGs, you can not only have fun, but also to expand the vocabulary of the English language. Of course, it makes no sense to learn highly specialized gaming terms, but the more common words can be learned without problems.

Plus, you can put instead of Copy Paste It ABBYY TextGrabber + Translator (Ruth does not require) and making cards, directly from life =), using the camera on your phone.

And, of course, all these manipulations is more convenient to produce spartpede or tablet with multi-window mode. Such devices are known to me only samsungovskie new laptop, but new tablets based on Rockchip. Also some custom firmware provide this opportunity.

I would very much like to know how you view the English-language video on mobile devices. Have you met analogue applications Copy text? Write in the comments.
