mpvacious VS AutoHotkey

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.

mpv, mpvacious [1], and anki

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

DownloadAHK() { global wb wb.Stop() file := A_Temp "\ahk-install.exe" switchPage("downloading") Sleep 10 if !Download("https://autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe", file, "DownloadAHK_Progress") { MsgBox 0x2010,, Download failed. switchPage("start") return } Run "%file%" /exec waitclose %A_ScriptHwnd% /exec downloaded "%file%" ExitApp } Exec_WaitClose(hwnd) { DetectHiddenWindows On WinWaitClose ahk_id %hwnd% } Exec_Downloaded(file) { ; global SilentMode := true DetermineVersion() QuickInstall()

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
