- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14629289, 6 years agoHi there, this is a really good idea!! I would need a tool like this. Most importantly it is not possible to edit the original word (which very like is highly inflected, I'd rather like to add the base form). I also wonder if the word list should be stored within the Add-On permanently. I fear that it will slow down the browser once the list grows.
An Add-On for Chrome that I adore (but can't get to work with Firefox) is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speed-learning/mgoebobcfmlecmnkediacjlofmbeihaf
I stores lists of words and phrases to a google docs table. (There is room for improvement here, too, as I'd rather use shortcuts than right mouse click selection menues, and the "done" window is annoying.)
I will definitely watch your Add-On for progress. All the best.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi, thanks for the feedback. I don't think a large wordlist will slow the add-on down, in testing I tried with word-lists up to 20,000 words, but we'll see how it pans out in the real world. Are there other reasons you'd like to be able to export your wordlist to Google docs? You can send further feedback to wordologyaddon@gmail.com if you like. - Rated 3 out of 5by kringlur, 7 years agoWorks great, EXCEPT I can't figure out how to get it to recognize long words. Let's pretend I have the Icelandic word lögreglumaðurinn, it's actually 4 different words: lög (law), reglu (order), maður (human), inn (the) (=policeman). I need it to be able to recognize all of these 4 separate words which I've put into the "dictionary" separately. Or let's pretend I have the Indonesian word "melihat" (me "verb", lihat "see" = sees), I need it to recognize "lihat" even when "me" is there, as "me" is a separate word. If this gets fixed (or if it's already possible, if it gets better explained in the FAQ) I'll definitely give this 5 stars.

posted 7 years agoThanks for the feedback. This is the kind of issue I anticipated: different languages work differently! Wordology already uses heuristics to try and detect related words automatically, but they're tuned for European languages. The algorithm needs more options so that the user can tune it to their particular language, and this is where I really need user feedback, because of course I don't speak every language!
