7/28 - New Features! Flashcards, Vocabulary Builder, and Recent History

Hello again! We're back after a hiatus from news, but rest assured we're been very busy. Today I'd like to announce three great new features for our Gabble On Smart Translator - Vocabulary Builder, Flashcard Generator, and more robust Recent History. Each of these new tools are designed to work together with the Smart Translator to make it the best language learning tool available online.

Vocabulary Builder

  • Automatically build a vocabulary list from words you've already encountered
  • Sort your words alphabetically, by most recent, or by most commonly used
  • Mark words you already know and watch you vocabulary grow!

Flashcard Generator

  • Look up pictures from Flickr and Google Images or import your own
  • Sort, crop, save and review all in one place

5/6 - User Interface for Smart Translator Online tweaked

We we've updated the user interface of our online smart translator to be more intuitive and natural to use. Now the input box is at the top of the screen and the translations follow in a thread beneath it. We've also darkened the text boxes to make it easier to see in bright light conditions.

Thank you to all those that comments and suggested these changes. Please continue to give me feedback so that we can make it better and better.
