I'm currently trying to learn several languages, which inspired me to create a vocabulary notebook app to record and collect words from different languages. I hope it will be useful for others as well.

The main unique features of the app are 1. Multiple input methods: you can add unfamiliar words through photos, sharing from news articles or manual input. 2. AI-powered enhancements: the app provides additional definitions for words, giving more examples and meanings, especially for less commonly studied languages. 3. Support for adding definitions in multiple languages for a single word, making it convenient for multilingual learners like me.

I rarely post here, so I'm a bit nervous. Sorry for posting the wrong link earlier - here is the correct project link: https://en.newword.app
A bit of feedback now that I can read it: I'd work on your prose.

> Accumulate a few steps a day to a thousand miles

> Rich and fast way to add, easily manage all the new words encountered in life

> The AI assistant helps you complete daily review, vocabulary expansion, and memorizing words is no longer boring.

These are all understandable, but they're a bit clunky. Are you Chinese, by any chance?

Your vocabulary choice is excellent, but it's the way you word things that is a bit off. I don't mean this in a demeaning way!

You might want to try asking an LLM to talk through rewording it, though I would avoid letting it write your prose wholesale - it'll come off as obviously AI generated.

DeepL write may also be useful:

Thank you so much! I will try DeepL.
FYI you submitted the wrong URL.

Thank you, that's really awkward.
Don't worry! You could always resubmit it with the correct URL.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate it.
