An extension that allows katakana input

[anon36621838]

I was thinking this would be a great feature to enable. I know hiragana very well at this point, but I still struggle with reading katakana at an acceptable speed.

So I was thinking since the mapping from hiragana to katakana is one-to-one, could we make a mod that enables katakana input (with the implicit understanding that it will be conveyed to hiragana to verify the reading)?

Personally, I use wanikani for about 1-2 hours every day, so having such a feature would make me fluent and fluid in katakana in a very short time?

Thoughts?

Have you tried the search box on top-right?

[Userscript] WaniKani Katakana Madness

This is Katakana Madness. Basically this script transforms all on’yomi readings to katakana, including dashboard, all the overview and infopages and even the lessons and reviews. From now on you need to answer your on’yomi readings in katakana. The input field automatically changes your input to katakana, so don’t worry just answer them like you always did. Reviews: [image] Overview: [image] And every other page… Download: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/26481-wanikani-katakana-madn…

Well I use the AlliCrab app, and I can only see 5 user scripts there. How
do I get this user script set up on my iPhone using AlliCrab?

Thanks,

You can’t install Userscript to app; however, if you have Android:

Userscripts on Android (Browser)

So, recently I found out that (most) userscripts can now be used through Firefox on Android by installing an addon called violentmonkey. After finding out about it I made some quick changes to some popular userscripts so that they work with mobile (most use keyboard shortcuts or don’t work with touch) as I found that the android app was a bit lacking in userscript support (no offence, love the app though!) The ones that I currently use and found working: WK dashboard progress plus WK overrid…

Awww, I don’t have android. Oh well, thank you anyway!

For what it’s worth, I think this is a great idea, and the Katakana madness script is pretty cool. I wish it made all of my input into katakana though. I am aware this is technically “wrong”, but it would be a very chill way of reinforcing my katakana on the side.

[anon36621838]

It is technically wrong, but Wanikani accepts hiragana for katakana
readings, so I guess it’s equally wrong to do it the other way around.

What does it take to create a user script for AlliCrab? I’m happy to work
on this as a side project if I knew where to start.

[finnra]

Well it takes the same as creating a userscript for any other page, honestly. There’s an API which I suspect will not be of much use for this project. Other than that it just takes Tampermonkey, Javascript and a lot of time.

You can also type katakana in reading section w\o any userscript - just hold shift\press capslock.

[anon36621838]

Yes, but then the reading is detected as incorrect.

Oh, i didn’t know. There are some katakana+kanji words, like フランス語 and they accept both katakana and hiragana for answer, so that’s why i thought wani could accept both kana’s.

[anon36621838]

Still would love this feature in AlliCrab iPhone version. Someone please let me know who to talk to add this? I want to write this app extension!

Oh yeh?

@CyrusS why is this not closed then

[CyrusS]

Because we fixed it.

Threads in the API sub-forum were supposed to stay open in case app-creators ever wanted to come back to them, but that gotten broken in Discourse somewhere along the way. Darin worked out a way to reimplement it, so that’s what’s going on with all these old threads.
