ffao said... Funny that I hate anki for this reason -- it takes me too long to decide whether I remembered it or I just remembered after seeing the answer. Typing is a lot quicker and less error-prone than that.You can input the answer in Anki.
I wish I could use speech recognition software to input the reading answers, rather than typing.
Failing and pushing the item back a few levels is slow, too. The Auto-Correct script might do the trick. Just press the submit button and your reviews are 0. So handy.
Serious answer:
If you can’t type fast enough that typing a single word takes too long, you should go learn to type faster.

When you have dozens or hundreds of reviews, you do understand that you’re no longer talking about a single word, yes?
Anyway, 18 replies later (gotta love the WK community), here’s what OP was looking for (or at least the nearest thing available)

Well, there is no script for dictating. I initially wanted to suggest him to use things like Siri, but you’d have to change the keyboard/language for it every single time, and the Japanese Siri is not that great for dictation. It would either won’t find the exact term you want, or when it finds the correct item, most likely input the Kanji instead of Kana.
This is too long, this is too slow, etc…People wants to do lots of things, but nothing comes as quick as we’d like too. This is called patience, and most of the things in life requires it…

I’ve been on the iKnow “3 months free” trial for a bit over a month. They have a “quick review” option, where yeah, the kanji/vocab shows up and they just ask “do you know it?” and you click yes/no.
DONE. So fast. I did it once not really knowing how useless it would be (for me). But if you’re 100% confident in some items, it’s a good way to get them out of your SRS.
When it comes to kanji, I’m for sure a beginner.

I agree… Sometimes I wish there was some sort of speech to text option, but then I realize my pronunciation is terrible, and then I just do my reviews.
Or if you have lots of money, a proper works with everything on your whole computer program like Dragon Naturally Speaking, could do the trick. Not sure if/how it recognizes languages other than English, however. Surely there are settings for that, or, if not, you could find either the Japanese version of the program, or a similar program if you searched for it.
I agree that maybe if the difficulty comes from typing, then it should be the first thing to learn, especially now that we type so much everyday for everything. Once this problem solved, I don’t think time will be a problem (for this at least).

Is there a script that just says "Do You know Japanese Y/N?"
And if I hit Y it tells me how cool I am, even though I did nothing and could never have a conversation in Japanese?

hinekidori said... You can input the answer in Anki.I have tried your Anki theme, but it's still error-prone in the sense that I can type the answer correctly, then incorrectly press Again, or type it incorrectly and press Good by mistake, and that seems sort of hacky. It seems like it would be possible to fix that with plugins but that would need quite some time, I wish it was built-in functionality...
I’m not joking, this is a legitimate attempt to help
When I was in middle school I couldn’t type well at all. Then in computer class the first thing we did everyday as we arrived would be to go to a typing website for a few minutes before the teacher was ready to start the lesson. It helped immensely and now I can type rather well.
Here is that website:

I don’t have a issue with typing, I use my phone. I’m just looking for something similar to anki: Question > flip card> answer> know this? Yes/no. This would make things go WAY faster and I won’t be intimidated by a large review pile and neglect my lessons. Thank you to those that gave resources, I’ll check them out. And to the smartasses, broh.
Some people are determined to cheat themselves.
Or perhaps they’re in denial? Although being aware of denial is fairly paradoxical.
