  • How do I read Epub files on my android app? (Advice on a personal Andriod project)
    1 project | /r/androiddev | 7 Jan 2022
    Hi, I'm hoping to get some guidance. I am an amateur Android Developer trying to make his first app. I have prior basic knowledge on Java, so I thought I should make something out of it. I chose to learn android development, and create a simple app. The app needs to be able to read Epub files since it is a kind of Ebook reader, but I can't seem to be able to make it work. I'm trying to use FolioReader to read epub files. While I try to figure it out, any alternatives you guys can suggest? Thanks!

  • Trying out LWT

    That part of the program is just for convenience so the user doesn't have to install that Python script manually. It checks to see if it's there, and if not, downloads it from the GitHub site. For the time being, you could just download it yourself from https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens/wiki/files/stanza-lemmatizer.py and save it in the Documents/Jorkens/Python folder.
  • PC Apps with Custom Dictionaries and Translators?
    1 project | /r/languagelearning | 3 Jan 2022
    Have you looked at r/Jorkens? Jorkens is a desktop epub reader intended to support foreign language learners, with a number of different lookup functions (maybe too many). It also supports both online and local (in a SQLite database) dictionaries. https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens has a couple of screen shots.

    There are online sites with reading tools like Readlang, LingQ, OPLingo, VocabTracker and also PC programs like Learning With Texts (unaffiliated fan-hosted web version here) and Jorkens if you don't mind pasting the text or using epubs/other local formats.

  • LingLibre, an opensource offline software to learn language by reading
    1 project | /r/languagelearning | 28 Apr 2021
    It's an interesting project, and looks very much like LWT. You might also be interested in looking at https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens, another assisted reading tool work-in-progress with similar goals.
  • The best way to improve at languages
    1 project | /r/languagelearning | 22 Mar 2021
    That's my preferred approach, too. You might take a look at the second screenshot on https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens. Parallel ebooks are easier to hold.
  • Looking for Open Source epub-reader
    2 projects | /r/opensource | 20 Mar 2021
    Calibre has a perfectly good epub reader, but you could try Jorkens, still under active development (I'm the developer). It has functionality you may not need, but does support annotations and highlights. It's mainly for Windows, but it's an Electron app and also mostly runs on Linux and MacOS (some work to be done on this). https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens

    Thanks for pointing out that it was confusing. Does this look better? https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens/wiki/Python-scripts-to-use-with-Jorkens
