Can this tool be configured to automatically import audio files? If so I'm sold

Feature Request!
Support for the EPWING version of Eijiro and WaEijiro here:
http://www.japaneselanguagetools.com/docs/Eijiro.html
would be totally awesome. Really, really awesome.
He *just* came out with version 1.44, too, so it should be stable for a while.
Also, a program request: A program that would suck in the Word List (Vocab Builder I think it's called?) from the Kindle Paperwhite, E2A it, then dump out a deck you can use in Anki, including all of those wonderful sentences you've already read.
Right now, the process is:
-find the hidden file on my Kindle
-open in SQL viewer
-find the right table and export it
-copy/paste the book info, because I want to know which book the sentences came out of as a memory hook
-break it into chunks, because disambiguation takes a lot of time, and when I tried to do a 2300 word list, I got a 2000 word output. (maybe duplicates?)
Also, find a way to knock out non-L2 words from the word list.
Just a thought.

I'll look into adding Eijiro/WaEijiro support. Not particularly interested in the rest.

Thanks for looking into the Eijiro/WaEijiro support. I understand not being interested in the rest.

Recently I've been using imiwa to build word lists, which I then export to Epwing to Anki. However I've noticed the vocab selection for imiwa is smaller than I'd like. Is there any app out there that can export tab seperated lists like imiwa but has the word range of Kenkyuusha's Daijiten?

Hi
It is a request which will help a lot of peope studying the JLPT n1 vocab.
Can someone please generate one sentence each for the vocab?
The decks now have no sentences, so I will make a deck with sentences from these.

Another request and btw this software is a life-saver!
It is possible to add an option to select more than one entry when the software asks you to disambiguate between two or more identical words?
Es.:
いちにち 一日
ついたち 一日
ゆか 床
とこ 床

Are there any plans to support more dictionaries in future updates? It seems sentences are well supported by what is there now, but I think it'd be great if there was a way to generate a thesaurus output. 分類語彙表 (増補改訂版) seems like it'd work for this due to the way it just spits out its results. 角川類語新辞典 is another one but the way it displays results seems more conducive to gathering sentences. Still, they are usually good in that they are short and to the point, so supporting it for that alone would still be cool. If you're interested I'm happy to share the EPWING version of these dictionaries if you have trouble finding them.

Still, they are usually good in that they are short and to the point, so supporting it for that alone would still be cool. If you're interested I'm happy to share these 2 EPWING dictionaries if you have trouble finding them.I've noted that with yhe two epwing dictionaries already supported it is a little exhausting to manually disambiguate between words if you intend to do it with massive lists of words. Because they seems to have more than a single entry even for word where the other readings/meanings variants are very uncommon / rare. So I think it would be great to have at least a third dictionary, a more compact one with less entries. Maybe a dictionary aimed at young students?
How are those two dictionaries in this respect?
As an alternative could it be possible to make the disambiguation process in a way that, if you use the edict for definitions and an epwing for sentences, when you chose a word in the disambiguation process, the reading of that word is used to automatically disambiguate between sentences?
So that way one could edit the edict db and remove all the uncommon words so the chances to be prompted with the disambiguation window will be way fewer, and after you chose the word you want, the right epwing entry will be chosen by the software itself based on the previous selection of the word.
Es.:
There are two (edict) entry for the word 床:
床 ゆか floor
床 とこ bed
and if you chose 床 ゆか floor, the sentences from the epwing dictionary will be taken directly from the entry 床 as ゆか by the software.
I don't know if this does make sense ._.
Or editing the epwing itself to remove all uncommon entries so that they will not be prompted to you every 10 secs. But why? In the db taken from cbJisho the frequency takes in consideration readings too, so that if a word has more than one reading/meaning but only one of these is common, the word is present only with the common reading.
Would be great to use this list to automatically delete all uncommon words/readings/meanings from an epwing file, so you will end up with a light version of the dictionary itself and use it to make a deck from a list of, for example, the 20000 most commons word generated from cb analysis tool.
You will end up with a sort of custom core deck, based on your frequency list of choice, with multiple sentences automatically taken from epwing2anki (otherwise I find that the addition of sentences is the longest part in the creation of a vocab deck) in matter of mins, because ep2anki will draw words and sentences from a relatively small dictionary where the uncommon alternatives are already removed so the disambiguation process will be way faster.

It does have a lot of entries for certain words, all split up into different entries which you click on separately, like so:
![[Image: toru.png]](http://s16.postimg.org/wuynm89l1/toru.png)
I can't really say whether it'd be good for younger students or not. The short definitions and sentences indicate that it might be though. Something I like about it is it'll sometimes have like a *注意* portion that gives really helpful details for how the word's use may have something peculiar about it, or the nuances of the same words that use different kanji.
The other dictionary doesn't have sentences really, it does some collocation-type stuff but I don't use it enough to know if it's good just for that. It does seem to be quite comprehensive as a thesaurus alone, which is exactly what I'd want it for.

To cb: about my previous post, a definitive solution would be if you have a word list with readings included in a second column, if epwing2anki could be able to read both columns and choose the word considering the given reading. So that, if you have a list containing:
床とこ
it will search for 床 and select the 床 entry with the reading とこ, instead of asking to the user.
This and the option to let the user add more than one entry for the same word, if that word is in the list more than once, with two different readings.
so if the list has both 床とこ and 床 ゆか it will make two cards, one for each reading.
Do you think it is feasible?

Guys, most of the adding dictionary stuff is very technical.
Can anyone actually explain how to get these dictionaries, what format etc., and how to install them.
How big are these dictionaries in size?
Are they available for free?
Is the software able to make sentences without adding additional dictionaries too?
It will be a great help if anyone can explain more to non-technical people like me.

This piece of software is a life saver, you don't need any additional dictionary to use it (but it's explained in the first screen when you launch it), but I suggest you to add one EPWING dictionary for the sentences because of the tanaka corpus issues. EPWING dictionaries aren't free however...

A quick question:
in the window where it gives you the list of sentences to chose from, there is a way to increase the font size? I suspect it is more of a global windows option but I'm not sure...
to Roketzu: is there a chance you could share your beautiful dictionary someway? xD I would like to see how it is formatted so I can find a way to add it to the compatible dictionaries in Epwing2Anki

If you still have to hunt down a sample sentence or two manually, you'll still have spent far less time than if you had created thousands of cards by hand.

cb, there is an issue with the new version :/
When I try to add an EPWING dictionary it says "could not find title of the EPWING dictionary!".
While if I add it (the same path) to the old version of Epwing2Anki, it works without any issue.
It gives the issue both with "daijirin 2" and "kenkyuusha shinwaei daijiten 5" (there are no non-ascii characters in the path).

Hmm, nothing looks out of the ordinary with the .e2a file, and the log file just re-enforces that a problem does indeed exist.
One difference between v1.6 and v1.7 is that v1.7 uses a newer version of eplkup (it's the same version that Rikaisama uses to perform EPWING related tasks). Perhaps this newer version isn't working on your computer for some reason. As a workaround, one thing you can try is to delete the Utils\eplkup folder from v1.7 and replace it with the Utils\eplkup folder from v1.6.
