Field notes
The app keeps lookup history on the Mac, arranges entries by day, and can export starred items or the full history to Anki as tab-separated text. Its bundled concise English–Chinese dictionary has 57,000 entries; system dictionaries can be prioritized and used as fallback. The page also describes subtitle lookup: supported sites’ webpage captions can be read directly, while captions and speech in other videos are recognized.
