Use subs2srs to Create Anki Decks Based on Your Favorite Movie or Show

Tobberoth Wrote:Won't the import files be quite enormous? I mean, just look at a random subtitle file, it's generally several hundred lines of dialogue. Getting through just one movie would probably take you quite a while... and most of the dialogue will probably be stuff you allready understand.

While the program is really cool, I'm wondering if it's such a good idea to use it. To bring up Khazu, he usually says that you need to learn 10 000 sentences as fast as possible, make them count by picking out the ones you really need. Taking every line in a whole movie isn't really picking the important ones.

This software makes it easier to develop decks based both on what individuals want and what they need, based on analyses and manipulation of the data once it's collected. Gives us more control, allowing for diverse, distributable, user-specific corpora. There's all kinds of possibilities with this, I'm sure people that are more database/list savvy than I can offer and develop more concrete examples.

And I mean, in addition to the interface/filtering stuff in regards to culling excess words/sentences from these specific decks. (I guess you could do some kind of check against import files you already have, eliminating redundant lines?) Just imagine, for example, analyzing the decks created by different users, cross-referencing them based on different taxonomies/genres/themes (to create, for example, frequency lists), and creating condensed decks from those that a person can select depending on whatever a person wants or needs to study.

Is there someplace to use as a 'headquarters' now that ajatt.pseudosphere is gone? Bad timing with that.
