Hi, I'm trying to use kakasi to generate a few readings for a few kanjis.

But I'm not beeing able to understand how to use it.

Has anyone ever tryed it?

If you are talking about the kakasi in Anki.

What it did was take kanji/kana information from a certain field and instantly print out possible readings in another section.

Like:

Stardard Japanese deck

F1 (i forget what it's called as i edit them)

あなたの方が好きです。

F2

Whatever

F3

あなたの {ほう|かた} が {す|こう|ゆ|い|この} すで。

You have to set "Reading Destinastion" flag in the model properties menu. Start a new deck and look through and you'll see it.

I think it is very annoying. I turned it off as it actually made entering sentences more time consuming. I'd rather just type the original sentence all over than fish through these.

If you are talking about a different kakasi then I have no idea

Yes, it is the same. But I want to use it outside anki.
It has a command line interface too.

Also, I'd like to know if there is a chance for kakasi to work like this website:

I'm concerned only with kanji->kana conversion.

Basic usage:

kakasi -JH < kanji_text_file > kana_text_file

Just be careful about the character encoding.
Kakasi works with Shift JIS.

Some more examples:

Furigana injection:
kakasi -JH -f

Kanji to spaced hiragana:
kakasi -JH -s

Kanji to hiragana, showing all the possible readings (anki style):
kakasi -JH -p

Swap hiragana and katakana:
kakasi -HK -KH

Everything to romaji: Big Grin
kakasi -Ka -Ha -Ja -Ea -ka -s -C

Any hint to convert a file from/to unicode/shift_jis?
