I want to make my own vocabulary deck in Anki. I want it to have sound. I had this idea. I thought it was
going to work. But I'm reading the Anki docs: You might be tempted to do this in a template, like: <img src="{{field name}}"> Anki doesn’t support this My hopes and dreams - dashed. Destroyed. /cry. The author is clearly aware of the royal pain the butt it is to get anki to use media and just doesn't care. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Images are easy to add to Anki though. You can just copy and paste!

From what I'm reading in the thread below that tag in a template *does* work, but isn't
officially supported so there is a chance it could stop working down the line as Anki is updated. The other option I saw mentioned in the thread was to put the IMG tag in the field itself instead, rather than in the template, which is supposedly the better option.

I sent feedback to in the forum and got a response.. I was surprised. I explained that making the user add the
media tags on their end was less efficient than if anki had specific fields for that which did it automatically. I was told they might already be adding this to the next version of anki. Nice! Also, I tried adding the required text to rikai-sama. Rikai-sama is pretty flexible and it worked like a charm. So I don't have to do a find and replace function on my spreadsheet to import the vocabulary file that rikai- sama makes. It's easy. As for pictures.. if I want to hand pick them then yes - the dragging or copying and pasting is pretty nice. I couldn't help being a bit impressed by that too. But picking out images by hand takes a while. I am going to just use a script to download a list of images of vocabulary and use that. Just like what I'm sure the Core 10k further optimized deck author did. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Sort of learned how to add furigana to my kanji in Anki. I say sort of because it works but I basically had to
copy and paste from the Core 10k styling template since my own efforts to duplicate that failed unless I just did a copy and paste O.o <span style="font-family: ＭＳ ゴシック; font-size: 25px ">{{furigana:Japanese Sentence}} I guess my deck had a div instead of a span (no clue what either one means) and changing that, it still wasn't working. I'm guessing Arial doesn't play nice with furigana/ruby? I don't know. It's working though. And I stumbled on a post explaining the need for a space before the kanji so it can line it up correctly. Japanese should have spaces anyway =p. What I would really like is a tool to say take my sentence field that doesn't have furigana and spit out the same sentence with furigana into another field. Like what the text to speech plug in does for audio. I don't think this plug has been written yet though. I'll just put in furigana manually as needed while reviewing which isn't so bad. Excessive furigana is kind of annoying anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That tool exists!
You need the Japanese Support Add-on - details on the Anki website here. If you then use the Japanese note type as a basis, it will convert text in the field named Expression to furigana in the field named Reading. You still need to check the furigana because the dictionary occasionally gets it wrong, but it's still a big time saving device. Also, the Japanese Support pack gives you a Kanji Stats item in the Tools menu on the desktop version, which gives you a really cool breakdown of how many kanji at each level are covered in your deck(s). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I was reading the description and I had the impression that it only added furigana to kanji if you were typing it in manually. I'll give that a try. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Well since the new version of Anki isn't out and I'm not sure if they'll add the feature anyway I just saved an
Excel spreadsheet with a little added formula. ="<img src="&""&J1&""&">" I have this in the 8th column since that's were I want the image name and formatting to appear. I just copy and paste the list of image files to column J and as you can see it copies the formatting onto the file name for me. I honestly am confused why Anki makes the user do this sort of thing. It's time consuming looking up formulas and using quotes within a formula etc. But the new version should have a fix.. and I'm getting used to it anyway. Of course this step is unnecessary if you're going to hand pick your own pictures (you can copy it into Anki directly). But I've noticed this adds a minute or so to each word you add though. Or more if you're picky. I have a bad habit of just picking cute girls instead of something that relates to the vocabulary anyway /sigh. 1 person has voted this message useful |
