My code so far is on GitHub here. You can install an alpha version here.
Is there any interest for this kind of script? What would you all want out of it?
I’d very much like to add a feature where an “incorrect pitch accent answer” reschedules the card deeper into the review pile, but still without marking it wrong. Can someone help me figure out if that’s possible / how I’d go about it?
I’d be interested, but since I (and I would assume many other WaniKani users) don’t have a lot of experience with pitch accent and would be pretty much guessing for all of them. Would it be included in new lessons as well? And by the way, where’s a good place I can learn some of those rules? I’d probably want at least a basic background before I installed something like this.
Overall, I really like it. It’s a good logical way of inputting the accent. I finally feel like I am learning the vocab properly and completely now that I am quizzed on the correct the pitch accent.
I wish it had been around when I started. It’s been a bit tricky on reviews where I did not have pitch accent as part of the vocab lesson. My first review session with it was about 3x slower than normal because there was so much guess–>check–>correct. I imagine as I start to learn the material better things will go much faster.
In case you are looking to further develop the script:
One tweak I thought of:
It might be nice to have a way to skip fixing the reading once it tells you, maybe by pressing enter twice in a row.
Alternatively, it might be nice instead to have it just tell you you got the accent wrong, so you can choose to guess again (similar to how WK asks for the “on” reading of kanji) or choose to just press enter again to have it give you the answer.
Another tweak I thought of that would likely be harder to implement:
It would be nice to have some sort of statistics that track my pitch accent learning, %correct, and especially a list of leeches, perhaps accomplished by having a list sort-able by %correct.
Even just a list of which pitch accent readings were incorrect at the end of the lesson would be immensely helpful, especially if it could be cut and pasted into a spreadsheet.
After a week, things are much easier. I’m getting a good sense of the pitch patterns and can guess most of the ones I don’t know. it’s hardly slowing me down at all any more to input pitch.
Might report back here sometime. The script seems to “work” for me still, but of course would appreciate upkeep for such a useful script. Like it’s been said though, getting into memorizing pitch accent after not having done so for a long time makes the script a big hindrance. I’m looking forward to trying to make something that can help consolidate the pitch information for all previous levels of Wanikani in a more efficient manner.
Not sure if it was just me but this script didn’t seem to work anymore… I don’t think it’s perfect but it seems to be working “good enough” link to script on github
I might update it eventually on my github but for now it’s good enough for me
@lake I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this. It’s been absolutely indispensable and should be a core part of WaniKani. I hate using apps to study because your script is so good and useful that I feel like I’m not really studying if I’m not also quizzing pitch accent.
Seriously, thank you so much. I’m sure plenty of other people feel the same. And @visgotti too for keeping it up to date. If the MCU had heroes like you people wouldn’t be so bored of them. And they wouldn’t sound as cringey when they start speaking Japanese either!
Honestly I don’t remember at this point, I think there was an issue with jquery not being loaded, also now I’m doing some things using the item info injector script
Do you know what the problem could be?
