汉字

Note: this project is a work in progress!

The goal of this project is to create a simple desktop app that queries a LLM model for translation and save it to a database, to be used later for learning.

Usage

Before using

1. Install Ollama
2. Pull a model of your choice. In my experience, mistral works best for translations.
3. Start ollama as a background service or run ollama run <model> or ollama serve

To see logs, start Hanzi providing environment variable RUST_LOG=<log level>
