Let you build your own dictionary. |

The basic item that can be added to Keep Your Word is what we call "A Word". Keep Your Word supports all the character sets that your Mac supports, so you can write any word in the world. Don't forget to tag your words, and add comments to them. Later, you will understand why... |
Organize and classify your words. |

You can add new words to the main library, or directly to any of the default categories that Keep Your Word provides you. Those default categories are "Adjectives", "Substantives" and "Verbs", but you can modify, reorder, delete or do whatever you want to them at any time. |

You are shown a word, and two possible meanings, and have to identify the correct one. In the "Printed Test" mode, you can print a random list of words, in the "other" language, in "your" language, or in both, so you can do written tests. Finally in the "Written Test" mode, Keep Your Word will make you write, in "your" language, the translation of a random word selected from the "other" language. The four "Exercise Modes", get the content from the category that is selected in the moment of launch. So, you can do exercises only with the words that you tagged with "food", or the words that you added to your dictionary in the last week, or... |
