equivalent programs / anki compatibility ? #13

Open teto opened 1 year ago

teto commented 1 year ago

hi,

this program seems to be exactly what I was looking for aka SRS in terminal, (modulo a few missing features) but I wonder if there was any other program doing the same thing ? tough I am not an aki user I also wonder what's vocage compatibility with anki cards ? not being able to use those could be a hindrance, but even then I suppose there could be an easy converter.

so for instance I would like to take a JLPT N5 kanji anki deck and convert it to vocage format

The vocage tsv format is pretty straight-forward so I think it should indeed be easy to write a simple converter. There is none yet though, as far as I know. But if somebody writes it (in Rust, I'd be open to including that in this repo (as a separate tool).

I followed the guide https://docs.ankiweb.net/exporting.html#text-files and I was able to read the exported note in vocage ! which is great news ! I dont know how standardized the format is but my cards contained audio extract that appeared as (:sound ...) in vocage output, maybe that's something that can be parsed and even played by vocage if anyone is interested. I leave this open to see if I find out better ways to support this
