animebook VS mpvacious

Hello everyone! Although I first started learning Japanese a long time ago, I just stumbled upon some really useful resources here today that motivated me to do more studying. In particular, I found out about the animebooks video player that makes it possible to add sentence cards while watching movies with subtitles. I've set up Anki and everything works as intended now. So far, I sometimes created a subs2srs deck after finishing movies or an anime, but this approach seems far superior. Nice!

It's a lot less distracting, plus I can tweak size and word and line spacing. This is a screenshot from youglish. For local files I use my tweaked version of : https://github.com/animebook/animebook.github.io

Animebook works like a charm and does exactly that: https://github.com/animebook/animebook.github.io

For anyone using Anime for learning, Animebook is a great tool. If you have the video files + subtitles, you can use Yomichan + Animebook to automatically create Anki cards with a screenshot + audio clip.

If you are willing to acquire the content yourself, you can use this web app. It's browser based so you just drag the video file and subtitle file into the browser, then hover over unknown words with yomichan and add them that way.

I've heard about some programs while studying Japanese that might be useful: Animebook, Voracious, and Knowclip.

I use mpv because you can use mpvacious for language study. I also use custom scripts to locate subtitles automatically in non-trivial folder structures.

I've been learning spanish, and since hitting the intermediate stage outside of talking I mainly watch spanish shows or dubbed shows (Star trek TNG). I can create flash cards of difficult to understand phrases, or new words in seconds.

I usually still edit them slightly depending on my purpose for the flashcard, but having > 2000 cards right now, I can't imagine what doing this by hand, or manual review would have cost me.

I do sentence cards, meaning whenever I encounter an i+1 sentence in my immersion, I make a card for it. Thanks to a bunch of addons (first and foremost mpvacious), this takes like 2 to 3 button presses. "transferring the data from dictionaries to flashcards" what you're describing seems to be misguided in my opinion; once you're out of the beginning stages, you want to learn words in context to get to know all their nuances, connotations and special senses.

I'm well aware of the myriad of tools. I prefer mpvacious combined with Yomichan over anything else that's available. asbplayer is the only decent tool for Netflix and other web players but mpvacious is simply better because you can far more quickly create flashcards.

For Japanese immersion, I am using the following setup to automatically parse and analyse subtitle sentences in a series I am watching: https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/mpvacious To briefly explain: each subtitle sentence automatically gets placed on my clipboard in the mpv media player; Yomichan, a browser extension, tracks what's on my clipboard and automatically parses each sentence if it is Japanese.

Hey guys! I have windows 10 pro and was just following some ideas shared in a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbg6ztWecbU) that mentions the idea of using mpv to create anki flashcards. The issue I'm running into is that while all my basic keyboard shortcuts seem to work, I want to use a script called mpvacious: https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/mpvacious
