It’s easy for me to recall the meaning of vocab when I just read the kanji, but when it comes to listening I need to work on recognising the words, is there any program I can use to practice listening to the wanikani words I’ve learnt? I’m thinking of something similar to like kaniwani, except instead of giving the meaning and you type the reading, it gives the audio and you have to type the meaning

Unsolicited advice incoming. Sorry for not answering the actual question.
I used to do this for the vocabulary I learned via Anki when I first started out, seemed like a great idea at the time, but there’s a reason I stopped:
Opportunity cost. You can only spend so much time a day studying, and imo using it to quiz yourself on vocabulary in three different ways really isn’t the best way to spend it. The issue of “not being able to recognize words when listening” resolves itself fairly quickly once you start listening to actual Japanese. Instead of even more SRS’ing, spend the time on e.g. some easy podcasts and slowly work your way up to more difficult material.
Same thing applies to KaniWani. Is your time really better spent learning 10 words with both KW and WK instead of learning 15 but with only WK? I don’t think so. But instead of writing another paragraph, let me borrow someone elses words.

I don’t think there is such an app. It also would be kinda difficult especially for later levels bc. plenty words have the same reading.
I also agree that the best way to improve listening is to acutally listen. However, I will say that it took me quite a while to get into podcasts. I actually recommend something like satori reader or japanesepod101 or something similar, where you have texts/dialogues at different levels and can read with the audio. If you read while listening you’ll get better and eventually will not need to read along to understand.
Good luck!

I’m pretty sure you can do this with the self study userscript. I also recommend turning on auto play audio during reviews.

Would love to have something like that, maybe with sentence, which we then type.
Not sure if single words would be actually that helpful. I think the difficulty when hearing something is, that it has a certain speed and maybe other words too etc.
