Wanikani + Speech Recognition =?

Chrome just disabled the extension with no option to turn it back on. Any extension that isn’t on the web store is now disabled automatically apparently. It’s to stop websites that try to force install unwanted extensions but having no option to turn them back on is just incredibly annoying…

ok so its not recognizing japanese, at least for kanji. haven’t tried it for vocab yet. it’s great with english though! I like it! :slight_smile:

Will try it out soon. Don’t have any reviews for 12 hours.

Chrome automatically disabled it before I had a chance to actually try it during a review. :frowning:

It needs to be on the web store otherwise chrome will automatically disable it.
I think there’s a way you can set it to hidden though, so that only people who get linked from here can get it.

Can’t use it either because it’s auto-disabled :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey peeeps,

thanks for the feedback!

Yes, for now you have to remove it and reinstall it everytime you restart chrome. :frowning:
As I said I will try to put it in the store if there is enough interest.

If it is not recognizing your japanese try to say it slowly and play around with the pronunciation :wink:
In my experience it mostly fails with short words that only consist of one syllable, as speech recognition isn’t really made for that.

But please get back to me with japanese words you can’t get the speech recognition to understand!

When trying so submit readings you really have to say “O-ke” like a japanese person would say okay. I haven’t found a better word for that.


Hi! O.o

This sounds interesting!

This is amazing!  I only had the chance to try it on a single radical review, but it certainly gets my vote.  As a professional musician, this would be an absolute lifesaver on those days when my hands have had enough.

I was recently looking for something exactly like this :smiley: I’ll give it a good try soon.

Can’t believe I just saw this extension, and reallllllly can’t believe it’s not a built-in option.  
Anyone feel like making a usable version of this?  Benefits similar to shadowing for new people, and great for those of us who don’t wanna type (some people here are handicapped with typing issues).

 I agree with this post.

This is a great idea.

This sounds really fun. Will you be re-uploading this extension at some point?

It is only down because Dropbox discontinued the public folder. Here you go

Haven’t tried it in a long time. Not sure if it still works.

how much i gotta pay for someone to update this so it works properly again?

I am not sure it ever worked properly, that’s why I asked for feedback in this thread. Unfortunately nothing much came of it :frowning:

Chrome just isn’t allowing to enable it

It worked for me after installing chrome dev version, enabling developer mode, and the using the “load unpacked extension”. For that you need to extract the .crx file using 7zip.
So far I like it a lot, I feel it helps reinforce my reading ability and character recognition in a faster and easier way. thank you
