I make this thread to discuss a project that has been on my mind for quiet some time. I want to create a program which does the following:
INPUT:
-(large) database of sample sentences + audio-links
-list of known vocab-items
-list of new vocab-items
OUTPUT:
Spreadsheet/table with the following information for each new vocab item
-new vocab item Hanzi
-new vocab item Translation
-new vocab item PinYin
For said vocab item:
-Sample Sentence Hanzi
-Sample Sentence Translation
-Sample Sentence Pinyin
-Sample Sentence Audio-link
-possibly some formating for comfortable anki-import (for cloze deletion etc)?
So basicly the programm has to do:
for(new vocab items)
for(database sentences)
if(only new vocab item unknow) then (write sentence and data into spreadsheet)
The merits of this kind of program are pretty much obvious: Creating flexible i+1 anki-decks eventually of a certain theme. (For instance one could take a large subs2srs database of one's favourite show etc). This would also be usable for beginner decks.
I only have little programming experience, however I DO have a lot of freetime right now, so I guess I should succeed. I was thinking of creating an excel-spreadsheet via visual basic. I still have to learn it though ;-) Any suggestions or comments concerning the programming part/the functionality of the skript?
