  1. put down the book you reading,
  2. find the dictionary or open the app,
  3. repeat step 1-2 few times if the vocabulary is quit complex,
  4. now you get the meaning, trying to comprehensive it,
  5. then you write it down in a note book, with the meaning,
  6. if you are very serious, you probably write down the sentence as an example,
  7. after all these, you go back to continue reading but lost the flow.

What if you can do the step 1-6 automatically, and immediately as you thought you wanna see what’s the meaning of a word? This is what voca-bulder can do for you, all you need to do is press F4 (the default setting), without leaving Emacs, searching and recording. Sounds pretty cool is it?
