Next Question: are there any plans to do audio files for sample sentences? That would be amazingly useful as well.

However, if TTS is good enough you can use this script
Advanced Context Sentence
We all know Wanikani’s weakness, context sentences. I bet many of us just skip them entirely most of the time. This script enhances the context sentences by introducing two features:
Recognizable Kanji Highlighting
Highlighting the kanji you already learned and should be able to recognize. this will encourage you to read the context sentence just to try and remember all the kanji you learned in it.
Forgot the kanji? just click on it and you will be taken to the ka…

Kyoko and Kenichi are all well and good, but what about Koichi and the rest of the gang? Random Tofugoe Mode!

Put my vote for random voice selection, too.
I would also like to have Kanji read.
I sent a long list a while back of suggestions. Do you still have it?

It doesn’t really make sense to have audio for kanji. Kanji don’t have “correct” pronunciations on their own (even for a single reading) since the pitch accent can change depending on the word it’s in.

Would a script for this not be viable actually? Isn’t it doable to source the sound byte from an external website and push away the audio from WK?
I suppose it cannot be done “oficially” due to copyright issues.
Yes! Finally there’ll be a female reading for “好き”!
I-I mean, very useful update, it’ll definitely help my studies haha!
