AJT Furigana

The purpose of this add-on is to automatically generate and bulk-generate furigana readings. To do its job, the add-on relies on mecab_controller. The add-on comes with Japanese sentences note type optimized for usage with targeted sentence cards.

Features

• Furigana. After you type in a word or phrase into the SentKanji or VocabKanji fields and hit Tab, Anki will automatically generate furigana for you and place it in SentFurigana and VocabFurigana fields respectfully. Field names can be configured in settings.
• Furigana on flush. Automatic furigana generation when a new note gets created with Yomichan.
• Furigana from selection. You can convert any selected text to furigana by clicking Furigana for selection in the context menu while using the note editor.
• Bulk-add. To add furigana to multiple cards in bulk, open the Anki Browser and press "Edit" > "Bulk-add furigana".
• Toolbar button. You can replace the content of any selected field with furigana by pressing 振 on the toolbar. You can do the same with furigana without kanji by pressing 平 on the toolbar.
• Note type. A new built-in note type designed for studying Japanese sentences. You can find it by going to Tools > Manage Note Types > Add > Japanese sentences.
• Compound words properly split. Words like 取って置き or 言い方 produce correct furigana, unlike the previous add-on.

Installation

Install from AnkiWeb, or manually with git:

git clone 'https://github.com/Ajatt-Tools/Furigana.git' ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/ajt_furigana

Configuration

To configure the add-on, open the Anki Add-on Menu via "Tools" > "Add-ons" and select "AJT Furigana". Then click the "Config" button on the right-side of the screen.

Caveats

Mecab is not perfect and sometimes generates incorrect readings. There's nothing that can be done about it in a big picture, so make sure you check the generated text and adjust it if necessary.

Acknowledgements

Initially this add-on was forked from Japanese Support by Damien Elmes, but was almost completely rewritten.
