I just logged in to do my evening reviews, and I was greeted with something that I’m pretty sure is new? When a card asking for the reading of a vocabulary word with okurigana comes up, if I haven’t included the correct okurigana in my answer, it…gives me a screen shake and won’t let me submit my an…

Hi everyone! I want to confirm that we did launch a feature to catch typos in visible kana, but we realized quickly that there were bugs in our algorithm so we disabled it as soon as we realized that. I’m sorry to everyone whose workflows were affected in the meantime. The plan for this feature is t…

[image] cmaes: Tried using “i” instead of “a” just now, and it didn’t work for me :frowning: Still gave me the shake and the “you’re missing kana” message. Could it be a scripts issue then? :thinking: Because, I can definitely do this. [image]

I have the same as @ekg , but only after disabling my scripts, so it’s definitely got to do something with the scripts. [grafik] Although I have to add that if I try to use あ first, then い won’t work as well, so I think it’s some sort of bug.

[image] ekg: Could it be a scripts issue then? :thinking: Because, I can definitely do this. [image] This issue only applies to readings, not to meanings. Specifically, readings of kanji with okurigana (the kana that are attached to kanji in certain words, like the しい in 楽しい). I suspect tha…

[image] cmaes: I suspect that’s why @NeoArcturus was able to input い. 善悪 has no okurigana, so it won’t trigger the shake. Oh, I didn’t think about that :thinking: Seems like you’re right [grafik]

For what it’s worth, I like this new feature, even though it confused me the first time I ran into it (trying to fail a review on purpose). There really ought to be a way to fail a review on purpose without having to type in all visible kana though.

I have high hopes for iteration! :grin: [image] "That looks like a typo." No! I'm actually trying to FAIL the review! WaniKani It would be so awesome if the solution to this actually ended up being an “I don’t know” button, with inputting の、しらん、しらない、わからん、わかんない、いや、だめ、むり et…

It’s been changed to the way it was as it no longer happening for me. The idea was good, but the implementation was just terrible. Getting a “that looks like a typo” for answering たのむ for the reading of 頼み would’ve been nice. But answering あ or any single kana should not look like a typo for an…

Absolutely! If they were to monitor what people were inputting I’m sure they would find plenty of ‘a’ submitted answers as the shortcut for ‘I don’t know’. I do it myself. Bunpro you just hit enter twice to mark it wrong on purpose but I like in the flaming durdles app where you just click the ‘I …

[image] marciow1: Getting a “that looks like a typo” for answering たのむ for the reading of 頼み would’ve been nice. I wouldn’t want that. I just typed そそく for 注ぐ because I genuinely remembered the word wrongly. I want this to be a failure.

Thank you for letting us know! I have a question regarding the topic, if you don’t mind :slight_smile: During my reviews, I sometimes accidentally type only the consonant of a kana, which ends up with something like くｒしめる, for example. I noticed that if I hit enter twice, that answer is being marke…
