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 bu…

[image] catwithcookiesandtea: 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 c…

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 cl…

▶ 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 u…

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 ▶ Back For the proof of concept I extracted …

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.

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

Is there any app for this?

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.)
