VocabSieve – Anki companion for language learning

VocabSieve is a desktop companion for Anki designed to help language learners build vocabulary through sentence mining.

It streamlines the process of collecting useful example sentences and turning them into study material, while keeping dictionaries, records, and learning data on your own machine.

This is free and open source software.

  • Includes a web reader for EPUB files with one-click lookups and Anki export.
  • Integrates with KOReader and Kindle highlights for batch sentence mining from reading workflows.
