How do I get the words from a blog article?
Tap “Add to your words” on the article, or scan its QR code. Vokabulo opens on that glossary, you choose a language pair, and the words land in your collection under a tag named after the article.
The Vokabulo blog regularly publishes articles featuring vocabulary for a specific situation. You can import these words into your collection by tapping "Add to your words" on the website or by scanning the QR code. Both work on any device.
With the iPhone app installed, the button and the QR code open the app directly. Without it, they open the Vokabulo web app in your browser. It shows the article’s words first and then asks you to sign in or create a free account. From there it runs through the same steps described below, and the words land in the same collection.
Choose the language pair the words should go into. Vokabulo writes them into your collection under a tag named after the article, so you can filter or study them as a group later.
If you are not learning that language yet, the app offers to create the pair first, with the learning language already selected.
Most of the time you are not asked to pick a pair. When the pair you already have selected matches the article’s language, the words go there; the picker only appears when more than one of your pairs could take them.
Vokabulo asks you to confirm before it starts. A short question naming the article, Importing …?, with Yes and No. This is deliberate: a free account gets one article glossary, whether in the app or on the web, and each import is a full AI generation rather than a download, so it is worth a second of thought. Answering No when the pair was chosen for you closes the sheet; answering No after picking a pair yourself leaves you on the list so you can choose a different one.
While the glossary is being built
The words are generated on request, at your own proficiency, not fetched from a shelf. Confirming closes the sheet and drops you on Words with a Creating your glossary… card and a progress bar.
You can keep using the app while it runs, and if it fails the card offers Retry. When it lands, a short Added to capsule tells you where the words went.
