Vocabulary words sound recognition

[wakalabis]

In my experience learning kanji with WaniKani I’ve found out that most times when reading a mastered kanji/vocabulary word I instantly recall its meaning. If I want to read it out loud, then it takes me a little bit longer. If I want to think about it’s constituent parts than it takes me even longer. Sometimes it is the other way round - I think that happens mostly when I knew the word before learning it’s corresponding kanji writing.

The thing is WaniKani trains us to to recognize Kanji and it does a superb job at that. But if I were to listen to those words, or worse, if I were to read them in hiragana, I’m not sure I could recognize them.

Is there some kind of way to complement WaniKani to practice recognition of WaniKani’s vocabulary words by listening?

I intend to play the original Pokemon game on the gameboy, which is all written in kana. I’m afraid I won’t be able to recognize the words I learnt on WaniKani then.

Is there any userscript that drills the vocab words hiding the Kanji?

This script changes extra study sessions to Audio ⇒ Meaning questions:

[Userscript] Extra Study: Audio Quiz

This is a third-party script and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely. This is a script I created three months ago after a request by @Hubbit200. You need WaniKani Open Framework to use this script. What does it do? This script adds a switch to the extra study section: [image] After enabling this switch, all vocabulary items in extra study sessions will only have audio ⇒ meaning questions.…

It also works for custom self study sessions created with Reorder Omega.

Alternatively, Self-Study Quiz also supports Audio ⇒ Meaning questions as far as I know.

That’s incredible. This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much! I was considering having a look at the WaniKani SDK to make my own webapp.
