I'm debating internally on how I'll ultimately use this. What I decided after an initial pass through it was: NO ENGLISH SUBS FILES. I looked at it with Rookies and it just seemed pointless.
Should I use it like I'm doing iKnow? I don't think so. With iKnow lists, I'm learning very specific sets of vocabulary. With those, it's about writing out the word correctly or reading it correctly.
Anyone, my current mindset when I actually get to using these is: Shadowing. I haven't tried it yet so it's bound to change. However, after I'm done with RTK3, iKnow Core 2000 and Tae Kim's advanced grammar section, I'll have more time to add on a Shadowing project.
I'll put in a request on Anki's group for a "Delete" and "Suspend" button on the main screen, visible via an options check. I figure if I'm shadowing, may as well just shadow the guys, so delete the lady's lines. I have so much material available, this should not be an issue. Yeah, I could mark the card for later deletion, but "delete" button seems useful.
Some things to look into for the subs2srs program:
1. Timing segments. There may be issues with timing of the .srt file to the video. Maybe create an advanced option to process only part of the file. This is also useful for partially processing a show to ensure setting work without waiting an entire half hour to be done.
2. Timing offsets. Plays off the above, as .srt may not be in sync with all parts of the video (commercial inserts for example), so an advanced option to move timing of .srt file forward or backward.
3. Exclude all kana/number/special character lines: I'm probably assuming too much here, but likely any line that's entirely kana and/or alphanumeric is not a line you're overly concerned with.
4. Exclude sentences with only words from this: .txt file. Here's my thinking, the program can reject duplicate lines. What if it can reject lines where all words in it are from this list you give it ie nothing new. Not sure if it's feasible. I would use it with words from iKnow for example.
