Is there any app for this?

Dear Santa,

This Christmas I would like an app that quizzes you with Japanese vocab recordings (WK reading sound clips) and then you have to input the answer by handwriting the Kanji or handwriting hiragana. I would like to order the quizzes by WaniKani level please. Basically it’s like Ringotan but prompting with just WaniKani vocab readings.

Sincerely,

A forgetful durtle

P.S. I’m aware we have the following apps that don’t quite deliver the features I’m asking for: KaniWani, KameSame, Ringotan

Pretty sure you can do it with a custom kitsun deck layout or in anki deck but you would have to compose the deck yourself.

Hmm I don’t think Kitsun is it. I really just want the prompt to be an audio clip. Like Kyoko says “しょうりゃく” and then I write down 省略 or しょうりゃく. Heck, I don’t even need the app to grade my writing. I could just write down my answer on paper and then flip the card to check my answer. Ringotan gets close but their audio clips aren’t from real people, doesn’t sound right and I want to practice listening/writing with vocab I already learned on WK. Basically training for Japanese-Japanese dictation and note taking.

Well there's this anki deck which has all the WK audio.

But I’m not familiar enough with custom layout to do what you described.

I did however make a working POC in kitsun but you'd have to redo the full deck.

I think your best bet would be to find a listening => reading layout directly in anki using the above anki deck.

(I’m not sure if posting such an Anki deck is allowed on the forums, if it’s problematic i’ll delete the message)

Thanks for the anki deck. I tried to import to Kitsune but couldn’t figure out how to make a custom deck with audio as the front card. Wasted an hour. Too frustrating. :pouting_cat:

I’ve been trying to import the whole deck too and map audio but it fail and produce a big empty deck :/.

For the Kitsun layout I just duplicated a vocabulary layout and selected “Audio” as the display field.

Here’s the raw code that works for me:

Front 
<div class="full_wrap">
  <div class="main_wrap">
  </div>
  <div class="audio_wrap">
  {{Audio}}
</div>
  <div class="input_wrapper"> 
    <div class="prompt_color">
    </div>
  {{type-ja:Readings[Reading]}}
  </div>
</div>
Back 
<div class="full_wrap">
  <div class="main_wrap">
    <p>{{Vocabulary}}</p>
  </div>
  <div class="input_wrapper"> 
        <div class="prompt_color">
    </div>
  {{type-ja:Readings[Reading]}}
  </div>
<div class="audio_wrap">
  {{Audio}}
</div>

 <div class="content_wrap">
       <div class="extra_wrap full">
      <div class="extra_header"><p>Readings</p></div>
<p class="highlight">{{Readings}}</p>
    </div>
   
       <div class="extra_wrap full">
      <div class="extra_header"><p>Meanings</p></div>
<p class="blur">{{first:Meanings}}</p>
         <p class="blur alt_meanings">
           {{rest:Meanings}}
         </p>
    </div>
   
    <div class="extra_wrap full">
      <div class="extra_header"><p>Sentence</p></div>
<p class="furi">{{furigana:Sentence}}</p>
    </div>
          <div class="extra_wrap full">
      <div class="extra_header"><p>Notes</p></div>
<p>{{Notes}}</p>
<br />
<p>{{cardtags}}</p>
<p>{{usernotes}}</p>
    </div>
  </div>
<div class="tags">
  {{#Part of Speech}}{{tags:Part of Speech}}{{/Part of Speech}}
 {{#Frequency}}{{tags:Frequency}}{{/Frequency}}
  
</div>
  </div>

For the proof of concept I extracted the anki .apkg with a .zip util (.apkg are just a zip archive in disguise) and the audio is found under the “media” folder. You just have to rename the file with “.mp3” to then be able to upload them as audio in kitsun.

Unfortunately it seems that using the “import deck from anki” kitsun feature bugs on this deck (at least I did not find how to make it work).

Thanks for trying. I’m only on the kitsun trial. Definitely not worth the cost if I can’t do an auto import of this. :woman_facepalming:t2:

Agree. I don’t know how’s the anki community help wise but I think applying a “listnening layout” to the deck could be not that hard and free to reach a somewhat acceptable state for what you’re looking for.

*.apkg is a ZIP archive (rename file extension to *.zip).

Inside the zip file, media is a text file with no file extension, in JSON format (add file extension .json or .txt). The format is dict[int,str] where str are filenames.

Files int got filename specified in file media.

collection.anki2 is a SQLite database, with tables as in seen here – Database Structure · ankidroid/Anki-Android Wiki · GitHub

There is also this Anki manual, but I don’t see direct answer to the structure of APKG. Exporting - Anki Manual

Self Study script still works? It can quiz vocab audio.

For a full fledge SRS or custom quizzes, I might use AnkiDroid with whiteboard feature (and probably also S pen). Kitsun should have something similar.

Add vocab to Anki via Yomitan. Then, I might replace audio file with Forvo’s. Or use a preexisting shared decks. (I’ve tried vocab audio + sentence audio, but vocab only + sentence cloze should work too.)

It’s not ideal but you could always use something like Anki and write the characters out on paper.

@polv Nice find with the self study quiz !

You gave me the idea to try with the Item Inspector and it works too !

@catwithcookiesandtea

The Item Inspector Solution

Using the superb extention: [Userscript] Wanikani Item Inspector

Settings tab: Select Audio in “Enable Features”

Temporary filters
I used my level (1-21) and the item type to “Vocabulary”, obviously creating your own targeted filter is better

Select the filter in the interface

And start the quizz

Then select the “Audio Quizz” and I think it’s exactly what you described :slight_smile:

If you do not already use the item inspector the Self-Study quiz may be easier to setup.
