#Generative ai #Console English dictionary #web crawler
This simple utility is actully my very first pet project back to 2008. It's a really easy to use English-Chinese Dictionary web crawler. If you were a Traditional Chinese native speaker and a linux console user, this might be handy for you.
At 2023, now I combined with AI usage.
Currently you can use this simple utiliy to generate your own close test
Need python3 and bs4 (beautifual soup 4) and openai
-
git clone
-
install.sh
I will create a invisible .edict under your home folder
and place bashscript under $home/bin/sh
If you want to use ai, you need to buy a openai key to use
google "open ai key"
Once you have the key,
-
echo "my open ai key" > .oaikey
-
mv .oaikey ~/.edict
Note: you don't need to have openai key to use basic feature.
Check out the usage guide video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uK9qrqCZDU
Under console ( recommand wsl/ubuntu )
