Context Sentences review app?

[davesters81]

Hi there. Is anyone aware of a third-party app or script that will let you review the context sentences for all the vocabulary you have already learned in WK? I was thinking it could be nice to have something I could pull up and just randomly get shown a context sentence from stuff I have already learned. I could try to read it on my own. View the translation. Maybe have it broken down for me to help understand it better. Not sure exactly. I have been trying to start reading stuff recently, but it’s still hard for me as I’m only on level 15. At least the context sentences have stuff I have already seen mostly it seems like. Any help is appreciated. Would this seem useful to anyone else? Or alternatives that could fill a similar desire?

I know this is going to be of no help, but I could swear I recall seeing a post on the forums in the past week or two from someone that had created an app for just this purpose. I did a quick search and found nothing, so it could just be that I am losing my mind.

Edit: Did not find the post I thought I saw, but did find this. It is from quite a long time ago so I tried it out and it does seem to be still functioning.

Procrastinating again, thought this’d be fun and/or useful. I tend to ignore the context sentences when I’m learning vocab, many of them are way too advanced for me. However, there are lots of them, they’re often amusing/unusual, and reading practice is apparently good. Therefore… Enter a V2 API token and this thing will* list all the WK context sentences with kanji you know (down to a SRS level you can specify). >> WK SENTENCES << Order is randomised, and english translations are blurred unt…

Hi

Several ways to propose a solution:

JPDB

For random context sentences you can add the vocabulary you learned on WK in a custom JPDB deck.

Example sentence setting

WK userscript

I was thinking it could be nice to have something I could pull up and just randomly get shown a context sentence from stuff I have already learned.

I do not know about existing apps or user-scripts.
But here is what the forums easily give, maybe that is sufficient for you:

• [Userscript] WaniKani Context
• [UserScript] Advanced Context Sentence
• [Userscript]: Anime Context Sentences
• [Userscript] Media Context Sentences (formerly Anime Context Sentences 2)

Scripting

If you want something using more targeted material I have made a python script that extract sentences from text for a vocab entry and put that sentence as a custom example sentence a matching jpdb deck but the project is still very experimental and not ready for non-developers users and improving it is not on my immediate todo list. (if perchance you’re a dev I don’t mind sharing the code).
The sentence is not random but it is from material you learned or want to learn (you need to have the raw text). It’s “just” automation of a process I was doing by hand.

Thank you for the link! I’ll definitely give it a spin!

Thanks for the links @yqxysidora . I guess I should have done a forums search first before posting my question. I’m not the best at forums.

I am a dev, but I’ll be completely honest, I really don’t like Python, so I do everything I can to avoid it. Sorry! It’s one of those languages people either love or hate. Thank you for the offer though.

I’ll definitely give these other scripts a try though! I am starting to think tho that I might end up just using AI and building a web app that does exactly what I am thinking in my head. Maybe others could find it useful and also something fun to do in my spare time.

If you’re proficient with JS making your own userscript may be the easiest way (and converting it later to a webapp when your base is strong). I am making my own customisable SRS on top of kitsun backend described a bit here and there) and i’m pretty much blown by how easy it was to do it.

Don’t forget to learn Japanese though .
