VocVoc

VocVoc is a vocabulary building helper.

Why use it?

  • If You want to know how a word sounds like.
  • If you are not sure about the spelling of a word.
  • If you are trying to memorize (a lot of) vocabulary.
  • If you want to put all these vocabulary into a file for later review.

Install

Just download the latest version from [here] master.

Before you run it by clicking VocVoc.py or ./VocVoc.py in the console, as I wrote this in Python ,actually in [Python3.3][Pthon3], and used PyQt as the graphical library, you need to have Python3 and PyQt. If you use linux, say Arch, please install Python3 and PyQt with pacman command. If you use Windows, see Download below.

Why do I write it?

As preparing for the GRE test, especially the vocabulary part following a alphabetic order, with so many words looking just like each other but with different pronunciations, I fell really unconfident about their pronunciation, through recentlly I got a score at 7.5 in IELTS. So I would like to write a small program for myself which I can use to find out pronunciation of different vocabulary. After some days of programming, this is it.
