Current release notes here

Download via git repo

You can read the readme here.

== What is it? ==
vn2srs is a suite of tools for creating multimedia flash cards from a visual novel. Primarily it is accomplished via ITH detecting and parsing game text, which signals a recording program to record the current text, take a screenshot, and save all the audio since the last line ITH detected.

== Examples ==
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

== Note ==
While this isn't for advanced users only, there are quite a few steps required to set things up and the tools are CLI based. It's more akin to a toy model kit than a coin-operated toy vending machine.

Tossing some stuff in a git repo @ https://github.com/jre2/JapaneseStudy/tree/master/vn2srs as it becomes relatively stable.

Ok I'll start. I think this is an excellent idea, I'd like to use Clannad and School Days to make some flashcards. Most of the dialog in Clannad is unvoiced IIRC, whereas School Days has some fully animated scenes. There is also a licensed U.S. release for School Days HQ that is in english. I am unsure if the Japanese text is included with that version though.

Thanks for this! I'm going to give it a try this weekend with 忙しい人のための妖々夢

Wish I had something like this when I started out. Would have made things easier than looking stuff up by radicals...

I don't think there's anything wrong with unvoiced lines, though. Dialogue and prose are usually a bit different, too, so you'd be filtering out quite a bit of information at worst. Personal preference thing, maybe.

If the game is untranslated, it would be nice to be able to just stick a definition list on the back of the card for every word, kind of like cangy's old script.

While I would perfer to keep non-voiced lines in my deck (as I like to be able to do large searches for seeing examples of grammar/vocab) I'd also want to tag them such that I prioritize voiced lines when learning new vocab.

Someone was nice enough to port my glossing plugin over to Anki 2 here. I tend to add a Gloss field to all my cards (though sometimes in a quite tiny font and easy to ignore color).

I wish I knew this existed early. I've been doing it manually all of this time.

This looks fantastic. I recently decided to start using the VNs I have to learn, and was messing around with setting up a dialogue ripping + card creating workflow manually. But if this works out, I can use this instead. Awesome timing.

I just can't believe this was only bumped on two separate days since it's inception outside of my bump.

I basically used the snipping tool in Windows to take screenshots all of this time.

Unfortunately I never figured out a good way to polish it up and make it easier to use. Once I got it working for my purposes, I lost motivation to streamline it.

There's also the issue that while it's (far) easier to get the Japanese lines from a VN than to find Japanese subs for anime, it's far more difficult to get a mapping of Japanese<->English for said lines (contacting the author/group that made the fan patch is your best option). So if you don't want a mono-deck, it requires much more effort than subs2srs with modern anime/dramas.

Well you don't necessarily need a full translation to make J-E cards. You can do it with just the J-E definition of the i+1 word in each sentence.
