MiDiccio: Add Many Words at Once

MiDiccio v1.4.8 lets you add many words at once. Turn the list of words you want to learn into a JSON file with an AI tool or similar, load it, and they’re all added without typing each one.

How to use it

1. Ask an AI tool or similar to turn your list of words into a JSON file in the format below.
2. In Settings, open Restore from Backup and select the file.
3. Choose Merge to load it.

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "entries": [
    {
      "term": "serendipity",
      "reading": "ser-uhn-dip-i-tee",
      "meaning": "Finding something good without looking for it",
      "note": "Coined by Horace Walpole",
      "tags": ["vocabulary"]
    }
  ]
}

• Every field except term can be left out.
• Leave out id and let the app assign it.
• This example is also in the app’s Help. You can copy it with one tap and paste it straight into your request to the AI.

Caution

Choosing Replace moves words that aren’t in the file to Trash. Always choose Merge when adding words in bulk.

Help now opens from the “?” button at the top right of Settings.

Developer notes

Bulk import reuses the existing backup restore. There’s no new screen; the import rules are just a little more relaxed.

• Until now, every entry needed an id and a createdAt (creation time)
• In v1.4.8, an entry without an id gets a new ID, and an entry without createdAt gets the import time

The app assigns the id to prevent overwrites. When an AI writes the id, it tends to use sequential numbers like 1 and 2. Merge overwrites words with the same id, so a clash with an existing word would replace it. Loading the same file twice adds the words again as separate entries.

This fill-in only happens when importing a backup. When reading data from the cloud during sync, id and createdAt are still required.
