The material says
The proposed framework is subject to the following operational constraints.
Work with a document
Save and use useful phrases from a PDF.
Take useful phrases from real content and use them in your own writing and speech.
Open a PDF in Active Dictionary, explore the passages you need, and save terms and phrases for future tasks and conversations.
Start with a ready-made material. You do not need a separate course.
Familiar?
Do useful phrases disappear after you finish a PDF?
Explore a phrase inside the document, save it, and find it later in your personal dictionary.
You write
The framework has some limits.
You already understand the phrases you need. Active Dictionary helps you start using them.
What Active Dictionary changes
Understanding a phrase is only the first step
Save a useful phrase with an example. It will be close at hand when you write or practise speaking.
One phrase, step by step
How a phrase from a PDF reaches your dictionary
Find a phrase in the document, save it with an example, and see it later in Writing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the automatic OCR limit?
