Annotate words for Lexorium
Tag Readwise highlight notes so Lexorium knows which highlights to import as vocabulary cards.
Before you start
- Highlights in Readwise (from books, articles, or other sources you already use)
Tag rules
Lexorium imports a highlight when its note begins or ends with a vocab tag:
| Note tag | Language in Lexorium |
|---|---|
vocab | English |
vocab:latin | Latin |
vocab:greek | Greek (any vocab:language form works; the part after the colon is stored as the language) |
Other text may appear in the note as long as the tag is at the very beginning or the very end.
Empty notes and notes without a vocab tag are skipped.

Latin word puella — tag at the end of the note
feminine noun, “girl”
