Quick Capture on the Website?

There is an extremely useful feature in the mobile app called Quick Capture. It lets you write a sentence in the target language, and when you enter it, the app not only selects the cloze automatically but also adds a correct translation as well, obviously with the help of AI.

Unfortunately, this feature is not available on the website, even though it would arguably be even more useful there, since users could easily copy text from webpages, books, and other sources. On the website, by contrast, we have to write the translation ourselves. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make the whole process slower and a bit more cumbersome.

Would it be possible to add this feature to the website as well?

Hi MlehNiki, Quick Capture sounds interesting. Can’t seem to find it on the app so any help would be great.

Thanks, and happy learning.

Many thanks indeed for the extra info!

You can also enter just a word or phrase too.

Work in progress to get this added to the web app as well, and generally improve custom collection creation/support. We’re also considering it as a browser extension.

Any and all feedback welcome!

I’m not sure if this has just appeared on the website, but it’s the first time that I’ve noticed this button in the top right of the page next to the sentence search button -

It leads to the following dialog box for entering a sentence as @MlehNiki described for the mobile app -

I can’t find it in the browser on my phone.

Oh yes, I’ve just checked on my Android phone with Chrome and I can’t find it anywhere.

It’s there on my iPad and Android tablet, but those are rendering the full desktop web page so it isn’t a straight comparison.
