Dictionary & Word Book
Look up any word with AI-generated definitions, save it to your personal vocabulary, and track mastery over time.
Word Lookup
Click any word in the translation log or overlay to trigger an AI-powered dictionary lookup. The LLM generates a context-aware definition that includes:
- Primary meaning in context
- Alternative meanings
- Part of speech
- Example usage from the game
Definitions are generated by the same LLM used for translation, so they understand game-specific terminology and context.
Word Book
Save looked-up words to your Word Book for later review. Each entry stores:
- The word and its definition
- The original context (sentence where you found it)
- The game profile it came from
- Timestamp and language pair
- Mastery tracking (correct/wrong counts from quizzes)
Free version: Up to 50 words (cumulative). Pro: Unlimited.
Spaced Repetition (SRS)
Words are tracked with a mastery system based on quiz performance:
- New — never quizzed
- Learning — quizzed but not yet mastered
- Mastered — 3+ correct answers with more correct than wrong
The mastery bar at the top of the Word Book shows your progress at a glance. Quiz modes draw from your Word Book with SRS scheduling to prioritize words you need to practice most.
Editing & Regeneration
Manual editing: Click any word entry to edit its definition in the detail panel. Useful for correcting AI definitions or adding personal notes.
AI regeneration: Request a fresh AI-generated definition if the original wasn't accurate. The LLM re-generates using the stored context.
Blacklist
When auto-save is enabled, Playto automatically saves words it encounters during gameplay. The blacklist lets you exclude specific words from auto-saving — useful for proper nouns, game UI labels, or words you already know well.
Blacklists are per Game Pack, so different games can have different exclusion lists.
Auto-Save
Playto can automatically extract and save words from translated text. Three modes:
- Manual — only save words you explicitly click
- Quality — auto-save from refined/VLM translations only
- All — auto-save from every translation
Auto-save filters out stop words (common function words), short words (<4 characters), and blacklisted words.
