VocabPusher
What is it?
VocabPusher is a program that supports you
in learning foreign languages and improve your Vocabulary. There are plenty
of these kind of programs out there, however VocabPusher sticks out of the
crowd for a number of reasons. First of all it supports ANY script;
weather it is latin, cyrillic, chinesse or arabic, VocabPusher will handle
it as well as it handles script directions (left-to-right or
right-to-left). Moreover, VocabPusher is the ideal partner to practice your
ability with a foreign keyboard layout by switching automatically between
layouts and showing you the current layout on screen. The program is also
ideal for learning a third, fourth or fifth foreign language with its smart
feed feature which uses existing languages in the database to help you
getting started. Further features involve: Learning with mnemonics and
pronunciations, regular and irregular verbs, noun genders and a
customisable/timed practice which allows you to to focus your time on
urgent vocabulary if needed.
How to install it?
VocabPusher is written in C++ and is currently only supported on Windows. It has been tested with Windows 7 and Windows 10 (32-Bit and 64-Bit), but other versions should equally be compatible. It has not been tested with Wine on Linux or similar and compatibility issues are likely. Please make your own arrangements and use the source code if you would like to install the program on a different OS.
Download - VocabPusher (ZIP-Archive)
Extract the archive at any place of your convenience. The first time you start VocabPusher, you will receive an error message informing you about an issue with the database. This simply means that the database has been reset for you to allow you a clean start with VocabPusher. Do not modify the VocabPusher folder unless you know what you are doing!
Known Issues
VocabPusher is currently in the alpha
phase which means it has not been thoroughly tested for bugs.
Moreover the smart feed and the timed practice feature has not been
entirely implemented yet. You will also notice that the program looks in
some parts still quite bare. Sorry for any inconvenience!
