Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. Do you actually practice them? Or what's your approach to using them? I add vocabulary to Pleco faster than the space repetition shows them so it doesn't seem like an effective way to use them.

Also searches don't seem to access stored vocab first so it doesn't actually make searching that much faster either.

It depends. Sometimes I really learn all the words before watching, sometimes I just watch something without any preparation.

Adding too many words to Pleco SRS over a short time doesn't work well, you will get overwhelmed with reviews quickly. So if I decide to study the words for a tv show I take some time between the episodes to prepare for the next ones, depending on how many words I have to learn it could be days or weeks.

Which searches are you referring to?
