Vocabulary builder using Zipf to extract English big words
This program extract big words from text.
The words whose Zipf frequency less than `mybigword-upper-limit' are
big words.
Zipf scale was proposed by Marc Brysbaert, who created the SUBTLEX lists.
Zipf frequency of a word is the base-10 logarithm of the number of times it
appears per billion words.
A word with Zipf value 6 appears once per thousand words,for example, and a
word with Zipf value 3 appears once per million words.
Reasonable Zipf values are between 0 and 8, but the minimum Zipf value
appearing here is 1.0.
We use 0 as the default Zipf value for words that do not appear in the given
word list,although it should mean one occurrence per billion words."
Thanks to https://github.com/LuminosoInsight/wordfreq for providing the data.
Usage,
Run `mybigword-show-big-words-from-file'
Run `mybigword-show-big-words-from-current-buffer'
Customize `mybigword-excluded-words' or `mybigword-personal-excluded-words' to
exclude words.
Tips,
1. Customize `mybigword-default-format-function' to format the word for display.
If it's `mybigword-format-with-dictionary', the `dictionary-definition' is used to
find the definitions of all big words.
Sample to display the dictionary definitions of big words:
(let* ((mybigword-default-format-function 'mybigword-format-with-dictionary))
(mybigword-show-big-words-from-current-buffer))
You can also set `mybigword-default-format-header-function' to add a header before
displaying words.
Customize `mybigword-hide-word-function' to hide word for display
2. Parse the *.srt to play the video containing the word in org file
Make sure the org tree node has the property SRT_PATH.
Mplayer is required to play the video. See `mybigword-mplayer-program' for details.
Sample of org file:
* Star Trek s06e26
:PROPERTIES:
:SRT_PATH: ~/Star.Trek.DS9-s06e26.Tears.of.the.Prophets.srt
:END:
telepathic egotist
Move focus over the word like "egotist". Run "M-x mybigword-play-video-of-word-at-point".
Then mplayer plays the corresponding video at the time the word is spoken.
If video is missing, the mp3 with similar name is played.
See `mybigword-video2mp3' on how to generate mp3 from video files.
Please note `mybigword-play-video-of-word-at-point' can be used in other major modes.
See `mybigword-default-media-info-function' for details.
3. Use `mybigword-pronounce-word' to pronounce the word at point.
The word's audio is downloaded from https://dictionary.cambridge.org
The audio download url could be customized in `mybigword-default-audio-url-function'.
4. Use `mybigword-show-image-of-word' to show images of the word at point
in external browser. Please note `browse-url-generic' is used in this
command.
