RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - RawrPk - 2016-03-18

Well I'm no expert at making card templates from scratch but what I usually do is use the existing template that I do like and manipulate it to my liking which is what I did with the Optimized Core 2k/6k when I made it recognition.

As to adding furigana to words, just [] with appropriate kana inside. Place in the appropriate fields. Here is an example from my Core deck(I'm not adding all the fields I have but just relevant ones):

Code:

Vocabulary-Kanji: 大人

Vocabulary-Furigana: 大人[おとな] 

Expression: お酒は大人になってから。

Reading:お 酒[さけ]は 大人[おとな]になってから。

In the Cards Template section, to make furigana show up I just add {{furigana:[field name]}} like I did with the Vocabulary-Furigana and Reading fields:

Code:

{{furigana:Vocabulary-Furigana}}

{{furigana:Reading}

Hope this helps.

EDIT: I replaced the parenthesis with brackets because it showed up as a sad face lol sorry xD

Hello,
sorry if it's been asked and answered before (but I can't find it), I vaguely remember in the browser you could search for cards in a deck by production/recognition. What's the exact procedure again? Reading the manual now but still no clue.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Vempele - 2016-03-22

card:production

See http://ankisrs.net/docs/manual.html#searching for more information.

card:[number of card]
e.g. you want to search for prod cards and under the card type editor, prod cards come frist:
card:1
if recognition cards come after that then card:2 to search for recognition cards.

@Vempele
Ah right; yeah there was nothing in the manual's searching paragraph.
I also had the extra issue of having my production cards type not being called "production".
Thank you very much.

It's there, in subsection "Tags, decks, cards and notes".

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - EratiK - 2016-03-22

There's only:

"card:forward
search for Forward cards
card:1
search for cards by template number - eg, to find the second cloze deletion for a note, you’d use card:2"

Maybe you can infer card:production from card:forward but I sure can't.

There is an anki add-on that duplicates a deck. You could duplicate your 10k deck and then delete all of the cards. This would be the easiest, most foolproof way to do what you are asking. Unfortunately It's taking me more than 3 minutes finding the add-on but it's out there. If you can't find it, there is this add-on that has a clone function, but I haven't used it.

Is there any way to style my furigana? Specifically I want to make it a smaller point size and lighter color (while leaving the kanji untouched). In other words I want it to be less noticeable, so I don't see it unless I specifically look for it.

Add this line to your Styling (shared between cards) box (the middle one):

Code:

ruby rt{ font-size: 36px; }

Change the 36px to whatever size you want. 36 will make it all gargantuan.

But generally, any attribute you want to assign to furigana/ruby **should** be available by assigning it to the ruby rt class/thingy.

Thanks rich_f. I was hoping it was as easy as that.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - FlameseeK - 2016-04-28

Is there a way to undo specific reviews in Anki?

I find myself having to restudy certain flashcards because I mean to press easy on the numpad, but instead end up pressing fail and not even noticing it at the time. By the time I'm done with a whole bunch of cards, that relatively easy card that I was supposed to see again in at least a month appears. It's infuriating.

Of course, I could avoid using the numpad altogether, but I'd rather not because some of the other number keys have been failing to register sometimes. I feel this is such a simple function that it should be there, but I can't find anything like that. As far as I know, "undo review" simply undoes your last review, not a specific card. Doesn't it? So yeah, I'd like to know if there's a way to do that.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Vempele - 2016-04-28

You can't do that, but you can edit the interval: select the card in the browser, (Info->check the previous interval and multiply by ease), Edit->Reschedule.

Wouldn't that just push the review forward though? As in, rather than relearning the card today, I'll end up relearning it a month later or so as if I'd failed it the following review anyway? If that's the case, I'm not sure which option is more worthwhile.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Vempele - 2016-04-28

No, it doesn't do that. You can verify this by searching for the card with is:learn afterwards (you won't find it).

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - yogert909 - 2016-04-28

My suggestion in your other thread might take the sting out of those accidental fails enough that rescheduling individual cards would take more time than re-studying them at the new intervals.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Hinsudesu - 2016-05-09

Does anybody happen to know of a way to tag failed cards or in a similar way mark them up?

I`m going through a big pile of cards in a filtered deck of cards that might be relevant to spend much more time on, but I don`t know which (switching from recognition to production....)

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Vempele - 2016-05-09

rated:1:1 prop:lapses>=1 finds the cards you failed (rated 1: the second 1) today (the first 1; in the last 1 days) that you've failed at least once (that is, lapses>=1 excludes the cards you've only learned today).

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - rich_f - 2016-05-26

Sort of tangential to Anki, but I'm trying to add a bunch of WWWJDIC audio files I found here: (all the way at the bottom of the page)
http://jptxt.net/edict-and-kanjidic.html

To a 15k work Anki deck in bulk.

The problem is that the file names are encoded in UTF-8 for linux, and I need UTF-16 for Win7. When I try to un-TAR the file, the filenames all come out like gibberish, ruining my plan to easily link up the audio files and my Anki deck.

Anybody have any ideas on how to convert the filenames to UTF-16? Would it just be easier to set up a small linux box and FTP them to one of my Windows boxes or something? I'm kind of stumped right now. Thanks.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - yogert909 - 2016-05-26

I'm not really sure, but how about something like this? Otherwise, maybe it would be easier getting someone on linux (or a mac?) to un-tar them.

If I have time this weekend I could try downloading and repacking them on my mac. According to what I read in that link, 7z should compress and expand without the same problem.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - rich_f - 2016-05-27

Hmm, that looks interesting, but I'm not sure how slow it's going to run on a 1.8GB directory of 120k sound files. :\

Might just be faster to dig out my linux box, unTAR it, and send it over to my Win7 pc somehow.

I just wish that everyone would standardize on this stuff. -_-

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - rich_f - 2016-05-27

D'oh. A kind person pointed this out to me:
http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?pid=122413#pid122413

EDIT: CB's program is throwing errors at me, but I think if I just use Anki's Check Media function under Tools, and then have it delete my unused files, I should be okay. I'm doing all of the editing under a second user profile so I don't screw up my main profile.

EDIT#2: I successfully added audio to most of the notes, and used Check Media, HOWEVER: if you move 120,000 audio files into your collection_media folder, either unzip to that folder, or copy/paste in 5k-10k file chunks. Trying to move all 120k files at once kept crashing explorer for me.

Also, Anki's Check Media worked just fine, but took around 90 minutes to run and delete about 100k files. Turn off your anti-virus, close all other programs, give Anki plenty of computing room to work. Also, at times it would bog down-- emptying the recycle bin stopped that.

Now I probably need to run the deck through morphman or something similar to get the spacing right.

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Hanafuda - 2016-05-28

I hope this is the right thread for this - I have a PDF document with vocabulary that I converted into txt to import it into Anki ... but now I don't know how to separate the cards.

Of course I could do it manually, but with 5000 cards it's a bit time consuming. Is there a way to do that automatically?

The list looks like this:

And I want the deck to look like this:

RE: Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - RawrPk - 2016-05-28

You can place the data in your txt file into a spreadsheet then mass import. Each column will represent each field. Just make sure to match the content to the fields you have in your Anki deck. You can do this with any desired spreadsheet program of your choice. Here is a video of someone using LibreOffice.
