yomichan: a tool for reading books with Anki vocab deck integration

FooSoft Wrote:New version released, yay. Lots of bugfixes. Good to get those out there before adding new stuff.

Btw, I've switched to using GitHub for yomichan instead of Google Code, so if you are feeling adventurous you can clone the dev branch later...

Works much better but there is still small bug. When i changed laguage option in windows to 'japanese' to play japanese games, yomichan doesn't remember what font i was using before. actualy, ms mincho changes into MS sth, i think windows have problems with differ beetween MS and MS. So when i try to use this MS sth font, next time i turn on yomichan, i see another font (MS sth).

Despite Anki not being my primary SRS, your Python project took both my Japanese learning and professional interests and I took a liberty of looking into the source code.

I admit that the idea for the tool itself and state of the source code made a good impression on me (I know how poorly written Python can be...) so I can only thank you for sharing this tool with the rest of the world.

Glad you like it! I hoped that it would be useful to more than just me alone when I started the project, so it's great that this is the case.

Hm, strange! I'll see what's up once I get my Windows VM running again.

Is there any way this AMAZING plugin can be souped up to Anki 2.0 sometime soon? Smile

I haven't looked at Anki 2.0 yet, but I definitely want to update it to work with it Big Grin

Awesome. Big Grin I went to use it and then realized it wasn't compatible with the beta version of Anki and was sad. Big Grin

Eagerly looking forward to a release for 2.0. Yomichan is the only thing keeping me back in 1.2.8.

Is there an Anki 2 compatible version yet? Big Grin

This looks amazing! Is there any other language versions?? My korean is novel level and i would love to use it for that!!!

it's really annoying that the explanation for this tool is so terrible. I can't figure out how to use it, I never alter models on my decks, and apparently this guy assumes you know how. I use pre-made decks, occasionally add cards, and have one simple front+back 3000+ hand typed korean deck. how should i adjust the model so that I can review both directions while still having example sentences? using the hint button would be nice, but i have no idea how to set that up.

edit: nevermind, I kind of got it figured out now, i'm tired and in a bad mood, sorry. still up for advice though on the most optimal way to use this.

Good news everyone!
I'm alive and updated Yomichan to work with Anki 2!
Let me know if anything is broken ^^

Edit: Also, make sure to update your Yomichan preferences, there are a couple of new things in there that need to be specified for you to use the plugin.

Welcome back! Though you really should list a change-log on the add-ons page. Apparently you made some significant changes, but no one will know what they are.

Also after installing this add-on:

An error occurred in an add-on. Please contact the add-on author.

Damn, that's what I get for not testing on Windows... Will fix in a little bit...

Ok, should work now I think (I have no way of testing it since I don't have Windows, but I'm pretty sure I knew what the problem was). Let me know if it's fixed or not.

Hi.

Thank you for all your hard work. Unfortunately, this error appears when I try loading a text file.

Updated again... Sigh, looks like problem was due to differences in Qt version.

Great, now works under OS X 10.6.8. Thanks for using the holidays for such charitable tasks!

FooSoft Wrote:You can replace the dictionary in the data directory with another dictionary if you like, and it will work Smile Yomichan currently uses the exact same dictionary format so it should work (I assume it's just a different dictionary for Rikai, I don't have Firefox installed anymore).
I'm wondering if there's a way to convert an EPWING dictionary into that format to get a J-J lookup? All the utils I've found only go into the other direction. The rcxmerge tool found at http://www.polarcloud.com/rikaichan/ can supposedly append to an existing dictionary, but only actual text files, while the HONMONs seems to be binary files.

If there is any way to dump dictionaries to CSV format or something similar I can hook it up to Yomichan

Wow! This tool is phenomenally useful, thanks so much for creating and sharing it.

I was wondering if you think it might be possible for some future version to add a dynamic tag that pulls the sentence except for the selected word (replacing it with a placeholder like __ or something)?

For people who use cloze delete decks, this would make them super easy to generate. If not, though, no worries! Going through manually to fix after the fact is still a thousand times easier than creating the deck from scratch would be.
