Thanks for sharing a link, but the link is not opening the shared deck itself.

I think the correct link would be: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1152823001

Thank you.

#4

Nevermid my commet, that actually is an add-on and not a shared deck.

#5

I installed this add-on but I don’t know how to use it. I don’t see any option to choose txt file.

#7

Go to Tools > Vocabulary Extractor > EXTRACT.
Then press Browse.

Thank you for the report. I was able to replicate the error and I believe the latest version resolves it. (If it persists please specify the type of document.)

#12

It works now. Thank you very much.

#13

Is it possible to use this with other languages like for example Japanese?
Which steps should I take to do this?

#14

Thank you for the interest. This add-on is still in development and currently only supports English. I plan to introduce support for other languages within the next week.

That would be excellent! This is just what i’m needing right now :smiley:

#16

The add-on now supports Japanese. Please report any problems you encounter during use.

#17

This addon seems to be very useful for English learners. The author deserves great recognition for that work.
Nonetheless, I have two questions.
What is the source (dictionary) to provide words definitions?
Is there any good explanation of how the algorithm chooses the words? What exactly mean 1-100 level?

#18

Thank you for the interest.

  1. The default dictionary is a public domain Webster’s dictionary from 1913. (Therefore the defintions are often somewhat antiquated.)
  2. A word is flagged if its frequency of occurrence is less than 10^-(6.3+level/100). For example, a level 0 word occurs once in every 2 million words whereas a level 100 word occurs once in every 20 million words.
