This release implements resume from context and allows users to hold on a definition in the Dictionary tab to resume to the exact subtitle that was clicked on to yield the definition. The intent of the feature is to encourage a feedback loop of understanding words not only from dictionary definitions but also from the context they came from.

Many of the enhancements and fixes in 0.15's newly introduced card creator has expanded the scope of the application to a card creation toolkit. The Clipboard tab has now aptly been renamed the Dictionary tab, with a new search button to allow use of the application as a standalone dictionary if so desired. In addition, the dictionary history items are now grouped by search query.

Creator Template Updates: The default creator template has changed since the first release of the card creator. Changes include now including audio and sentence in the default template if users desire to use them, and a default maximum height to account for portrait images too big for the card without bounds. The templates of existing users are backwards compatible and will continue to function. If you desire to update, the updated templates can be found here.

System Requirements: This application has been tested by myself and other users to work on a variety of real-world devices and emulators running Android 7 and above (thanks to Hexavall). If the installation fails, try clearing enough storage space (Cheers to kekkonkinenbi for letting me know).

0.16-beta

  • (New Feature) Resume from Context - Users will now be able to hold onto dictionary definitions in the newly renamed Dictionary tab and may select Context to resume from where the subtitle was sourced for review purposes, definitions that will function with this are labelled with 'from video'
  • Search terms are now trimmed to sanitize how they appear in dictionary history
  • Fixed an issue where whatever screen on the main menu did not update upon returning from video playback
  • Fixed an issue where the search result widget did not look elegant when lengthier than usual
  • Fixed some layout issues related to the pop-up dictionary

0.16.1-beta

  • Significantly improved the initial load speed and lazy loading performance of videos from listed channels that have a large amount of videos where sometimes the list did not load in at all
  • Removed sorting videos by oldest, users who formerly relied on this are advised to find videos in the official YouTube app and share them into the application instead
  • Dictionary scroll position is now remembered when moving away from the dictionary tab or into the creator

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes subtitles from queried YouTube automatic captions did not appear on screen
  • Changed the labels of some main menu elements

0.16.2-beta

  • (New Feature) Set Preferred Video Quality - With a new option in the video quality option menu, users can now choose their preferred YouTube quality between last selected and lowest and highest quality (with seek friendly and all streams) options (#19)
  • Player will now appropriately change if a YouTube link is shared while another video is playing (#20)
  • Significantly changed the player menus to have coloring to indicate the current playing audio and subtitle, YouTube resolution and the active immersion modes
  • Reordered and repositioned user interface elements in the player menu
  • The adjust delay and allowance screen now resumes playback if the video was playing beforehand
  • Added an option to toggle shadowing mode in the player menu to make the feature's presence more apparent

0.16.3-beta

  • Fixed an oversight where 'Subtitle - None' was highlighted when an external subtitle is used

0.16.4-beta

  • Definitions searched since the start of the application will now be cached, allowing instant back and forths between already searched definitions, particularly useful for switching between bilingual and monolingual modes
  • Monolingual learners may now hold on the word or reading of a definition in the pop-up dictionary as a way to instantly switch between bilingual and monolingual modes
  • Increased the text size of text elements related to definitions
  • Added a return button to go back to the last definition when searching and selecting text recursively in a monolingual definition
  • Removed redundant 'Select all' from selectable text prompt for monolingual definitions
  • Changed ellipsis text elements to an animated jumping dots animation
  • Search results are now always trimmed, no leading or trailing spaces will be passed to dictionary queries
  • When searching words outside of video playback, the search buttons will change color accordingly to indicate when a search query is still on-going or has finished
  • Added an option to share a playing YouTube video's link to other applications, renamed menu option appropriately
  • Changed the smart resume conditions in a possibly confusing scenario for users where opening and closing the transcript in definition focus mode or otherwise might undesirably resume the video or leave the player paused

0.16.5-beta

0.16.6-beta

  • Fixed a critical debug artifact and oversight where no audio was exported from any video (does not fix reported issue)

0.16.7-beta

  • Changed the smart resume conditions on export and on opening the transcript menu
  • Exporting with no subtitles will now export the current duration with respect to bi-directional audio allowance
  • Shadowing mode now works with no subtitles and will work with respect to bi-directional audio allowance

Strengthening the feedback loop

Developer Note: This feature might be a strange one, and it's certainly not something that I thought I wanted at first. After all, SRS already exists and exporting cards with image and audio is already a thing. Yet, I've always felt somewhat of a disconnect between SRS and immersion time, even though I knew what words I've been studying. This is a way to turn back time to exactly where you found the word and be able to revisit the video and be able to review the vocabulary in its native habitat. I believe this feature is a great marriage and bridge of the active and passive immersion loop of watching a video and then reviewing the definitions later in the end, and will be useful when you want to go back to a word but can't quite figure out how you stumbled into it.
