Pronunciation of the word form #573

Open ganqqwerty opened 6 months ago

Presently, yomitan pronounces the dictionary form of the word. If a user hovers on 食べたい, yomitan will pronounce 食べる. However, sound banks often have the pronunciation for the word forms too. For example the pronunciation of 食べたい exists in NHK sound bank. It would be great to use such pronunciation when it's available.

In its simplest form, Yomitan can show the icon for the 食べる　and another icon for 食べたい. Import to anki should allow the user to pick a new field for the pronunciation of the word form (食べたい).

This is a good idea, but I'd recommend against adding icons to the page for features that are the same as what already exists. This would probably be something better suited for the right click menu that already exists on the audio icon.

Ah, that's actually great idea! The right click menu can have a section dedicated for the audios of the word form and a section dedicated for the audios of the dictionary form.
