Vocabulary Learning Assistant

The Vocabulary Learning Assistant helps the user to learn vocabulary, such as language translations or technical definitions.

It uses a user-created text file (or multiple files) that contain the content to be learned, and then opens a pop up window at a user-defined interval (scheduled by Cron on Linux) to test the user. This window contains the word to be defined or translated on the left, and a text field for the user to enter their answer on the right. The program is more likely to choose word pairs that the user has got wrong more often in the past. There is also an option to reset the progress tracking when the user feels they no longer need to keep testing on a particular pair. It was originally developed for learning French, but can be used for any language or technical definitions. Within the program, the user can choose which of their text files they would like to learn from, or by default leave it as it currently is.
