All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - shakkun - 2008-08-20

The book is Pirate Bay'd. Some notes:

There are some crooked pages, and they won't c+p very well.
My scanner is suuupperr dodgy but the OCR seems to handle it surprisingly well. If a page is straight and not shadowed (most of them) it should be totally fine, but still double check.
Default language for character recognition is Japanese, so English comes out like this:

Over there is ar ed book，ri ght. It's ak anji book. /S ee the red
book over there? Tbat's a kanji book

You may or may not find it easy to type in from scratch.

Anyway, it's not as ideal as the first few pages lead me to believe so a spreadsheet would actually be really good. I'll do TO WA, YA, and TO KA as they're all really short.

Anybody that has downloaded the file: I've figured out how to batch process images in Photoshop and should be able to improve the quality considerably. I'll delete that torrent and upload a better one asap. Sorry about that, but at least it's not a huge file.

Edit: Okay, a much better one is up so please grab that and delete the old one. Got rid of most of the shadowed parts, plus changed the image mode so it's not completely unreadable at anything other than full zoom.

Wow, thanks much for the torrent. With this, the project will probably get on much faster.

Edit:
I decided to do the DE MO section to try out the PDFs effectiveness. The accuracy of the copy pasted Japanese was near perfect. There was maybe one or two small mistakes out of the thirteen sentences. Copy pasting the English, like shakkun said, comes up with common space problems and the like, but it's not bad at all. I found it very effective and quick, given that there is time taken to double check what was pasted into the cell.

DE MO section completed.

I own this one and willing to input. What is the current allocation?

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - ew8049 - 2008-08-21

By the way.. You do get the benefit of you first review when you're actually typing them up.

There really is no allocation outside of what Alyks posted. As it stands, all you do is go in, grab an empty section and just start doing it.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - abaddon - 2008-08-21

Finished E and KARA.

Due to work related issues, I don't have much time the coming 1.5 weeks. I'll continue with HODO and BAKARI (chap 20 and 21) at that time...

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - alyks - 2008-08-21

As it stands:

WA - Alyks/done

KURAI (GURAI)

And that's all the current spreadsheet will allow, and we don't move on until all these are done.

It seems were getting up steam. Smile

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - AdamLeliel - 2008-08-21

Sorry, I've been very slow-- GCSE results, sorting out college, etc. But I still want to do my part.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - phauna - 2008-08-22

I'm a masochist and I can't bear that I have this book and aren't doing anything with it. So I can do NA DO, and maybe more when I've finished that one. I'll send you an email with my address, alyks.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - shakkun - 2008-08-23

to wa, to ka and ka are up. Will do ni and de next, I'll put my name on the spreadsheet. Typing even minor corrections with a broken finger is unbelievably frustrating so apologies for total slowness.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - ew8049 - 2008-08-23

I'll take the next three in there:
DAKE
SHIKA
NOMI

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - atreya - 2008-08-23

I am also willing to pitch in. Are DE, NI, MADE, NO and O taken ? If not, I will start working on them right away. ^_^ I have been quite idle after I finished my share of the mining work for "Making out in Japanese"....

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - ew8049 - 2008-08-23

DAKE - done
SHIKA - done
NOMI - done

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - Nukemarine - 2008-08-23

Hmm, little late now, but maybe doing it by page numbers would have been a bit easier? Some particles have 50 sentences while others might have 2.

Still, I'll provide my Proof of Purchase for this and Making Out in Japanese when I get back.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - aovora - 2008-08-23

Hi,
I ordered this book last week and itshould be there on monday and I would love to participate in this project.
So I can type the sentences for:
KIRI
NO DE
MONO DE
KAREDOMO
TOKORO DE

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - atreya - 2008-08-24

Finished MADE, also Bolded the particles for which the sentences have been added for the sake of clarity. Smile

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - phauna - 2008-08-25

Finished NADO and uploaded it. I'll take NO NI next.

I would have liked to bold the particles but I couldn't work out how to just bold the word, and not the whole cell.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - Nukemarine - 2008-08-25

Not sure if the Bold will make it when you copy the sentences into Anki or Mnemosyne. Granted, if it must be done, Anki offers it I think.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - atreya - 2008-08-25

Yea, the bold feature in anki actually adds a "[ b ][ /b ]" tag to the word which is in bold. So making a word/sentence/particle bold in excel wouldn't change anything

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - AdamLeliel - 2008-08-25

Finished TO (I think... I hope.). I'll see what I can do next.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - Zarxrax - 2008-08-27

Meh... pretty cheap book... what the heck, I'll join in. Sign me up for something.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - alyks - 2008-08-27

When you get the book, go ahead and pick which ones you want to do.
KUSE NI, MONO NO, TOKORO GA are all good ones.

All About Particles (Kodansha Book) - atreya - 2008-08-29

Been slightly busy this week <_<, will start work on the rest of my quota by Sunday.
