Release Notes (Lookupper for Windows)

creator

Right now I'm working on the next Lookupper update (I always work on the next Lookupper update, so this is not news). I'd like to share what is done and what is planned for the next release of Lookupper for Windows. Feel free to reply.

Future Plans

Syncing Words via Anki Connect: Simplify synchronization of saved words with Anki deck through Anki Connect (suggested by @lord).
Improve support for Japanese, Chinese and Korean: Add tokenizers for these languages, as words are not separated by spaces.
Sorting and filtering for saving words. Make it easier to review long lists of saved words.
Word frequency integration: Add word frequency information to help you decide which words to keep and turn into Anki cards.
Improve Lookupper Dictionary
a) to automatically detect phrasal verbs, multi-word expressions and idioms.
b) to automatically fix OCR missdetections.
Russian - Polish dictionary.
Portuguese - English dictionary.
Fix .apkg importing in RemNote
Manual word correction in case of OCR misdetection?

Just curious, is there any estimated release date for the update?

Unfortunately, I don’t have a definite release date yet. I’m planning to tackle some tasks soon and postpone others, otherwise, it could take forever. I estimate version 1.2.8 should be ready in 2-3 weeks.

I'm looking forward to the update of Japanese. It's difficult to use right now. I really want to play galgames and load vocabulary to Anki. Plz.
I appreciate your hard work.

creator

qew Thank you. I’ll improve Japanese support in one of the next updates. It’s one of the top priorities right now.
