How to batch extract sentances and phrases for use in Anki?
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 7:13 pm
I'm wondering whether it's possible to bulk extract the example sentances, phrases, idioms, collocations etc that are found in digital (i.e. ebook dictionaries) and online dictionaries, for use in SRS? I tried converting a kindle Collins dictionary but that didn't go far.
I've done enough tedious copying and pasting in my life to never want to go down that route again (it'd be much easier to just delete ones I don't want/need as and when they come up). Plus, just cherry picking ones that I stumble across aren't going to help me go out of my comfort zone and find the phrases that I don't know that I don't know.
Has anyone had any success with this before? Or any ideas on where to start?
