SubRead Anki

Select a word in any app: an Anki card with its sentence, picture and sound

SubRead Anki is a pop-up for Anki cards, used the same way as a dictionary. Select a text in any app and choose "SubRead Anki" in the text selection menu. The pop-up shows the text and the terms at the word. Tap "+ Anki": the card goes into AnkiDroid with the word, its reading and definition, the sentence around the word, a picture of the screen and the sound of the sentence. It is made for people who read and listen in a language that they learn.

What it does

* Works in each app that lets you select a text: readers, browsers, OCR apps.
* A tap on a character of the text moves the word there, so one selection gives cards for several words.
* The reading, the definition and the word audio come from SubRead Dictionary.
* The capture keeps the sound of the device and the newest picture of the screen while it is on. The card gets the screen of the moment you selected the text, and the sound of the seconds before it: the audiobook that plays while you read. A tile in the quick settings starts and stops it.
* With SubRead Overlay, a subtitle word shows its whole line, and the card gets the sound of that line.
* Another app, or a link on a web page, can send a whole card: word, sentence, audio and its times, picture.
* Works with the Lapis note type, the basic note types, or its own.
* Black on white and nothing that moves: usable on an e-ink screen.

Permissions

* AnkiDroid: to add the cards.
* Screen capture and the microphone permission: for the sound of the player and the picture of the screen, only while the capture is on. Android asks each time it starts. No microphone is recorded.
* Internet: only for an audio or a picture at a URL that a sender gives.

Nothing leaves the device.
