# Ankimaker |
||||
|
||||
WIP |
||||
|
||||
A CLI app to generate anki decks. |
||||
|
||||
From csv file, with configurable parameters, filters and media. |
||||
Flashcards are a great tool for accelerating language learning. |
||||
You can choose one from the many databases out there, developed |
||||
by teachers and very conscientious people. It would be even better |
||||
it is easy to create new flashcards to satisfy personalized needs. |
||||
For instance, generating flashcards from your bookmarked words in |
||||
google translator or dictionary add-on on your browser |
||||
would be much more effective because you would focus in the words |
||||
you actually are not familiar with including the ones that are more |
||||
frequent in your professional or hobby contexts than in default |
||||
common language use. |
||||
|
||||
# Usage |
||||
|
||||
## csv |
||||
|
||||
From csv file, with configurable parameters and |
||||
(media to be supported in the future). |
||||
|
||||
```bash |
||||
ankimaker csv -i file.csv -o deck.apkg --conf conf.yaml |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
#### Configuration File |
||||
The configuration file required to convert csv can be |
||||
generated manually or interactively with the following command: |
||||
```bash |
||||
ankimaker make-csv-config -i sample-input.csv -o custon-conf.yaml |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
If you want to create the configuration manually, see instruction |
||||
in `Manually create configuration file` section. |
||||
|
||||
## Manually create configuration file |
||||
```yaml |
||||
AnkimakerConfig: |
||||
header: |
||||
question_column: 'original' |
||||
answer_column: 'translation' |
||||
separators: \t |
||||
filters: |
||||
- - column: 'original language' |
||||
values: Chinese |
||||
- column: 'translation language' |
||||
values: English |
||||
- - column: 'original language' |
||||
values: English |
||||
- column: 'translation language' |
||||
values: Chinese |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Explaining the fields: |
||||
* **header**: Row index to be used as column. Use null |
||||
if nonexistent or just don't insert this field. |
||||
* **question_column**: Name or index of column to be used as question. |
||||
* **answer_column**: Name or index of the columns containing the answers. . Use null |
||||
if nonexistent or just don't insert this field. |
||||
* **separators**: Select the character that separates cells in your csv. |
||||
* **filters**: This is a list of groups that will be present in your |
||||
final deck. Each group is defined by a list of rules that must be fulfilled |
||||
so the row will be part of the group. For instance, the following filter |
||||
would keep only the rows whose 'original language' column value |
||||
is Chinese. |
||||
|
||||
```yaml |
||||
filters: |
||||
- - column: 'original language' |
||||
values: Chinese |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This other filer would keep only the rows that 'original language' |
||||
column is Chinese and 'translation language' column value is |
||||
any of English or French. |
||||
|
||||
From epub, finding difficult* words in the book and getting their translations. |
||||
```yaml |
||||
filters: |
||||
- - column: 'original language' |
||||
values: Chinese |
||||
- column: 'translation language' |
||||
values: [English, French] |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
*I still don't know what 'difficult' will mean. Probably difficult words will be less frequent words that are more frequent in the text than in some corpus, cut above a grade threshold. The grades will map percentiles of frequency. |
||||
The logic of the groups is that any row satisfying at least |
||||
one group's rule will be present in the final deck. In short, |
||||
they're reduced with `or` logic. In the example bellow any row |
||||
that has 'original language' column value Chinese and any roll |
||||
that has 'translation language' column value English will be |
||||
in the final deck. |
||||
|
||||
| Language Level | Number of Base Words Needed | |
||||
| ----- | ------ | |
||||
| A1 | 500| |
||||
| A2 | 1000| |
||||
| B1 | 2000| |
||||
| B2 | 4000| |
||||
| C1 | 8000| |
||||
| C2 | 16000| |
||||
```yaml |
||||
filters: |
||||
- - column: 'original language' |
||||
values: Chinese |
||||
- - column: 'translation language' |
||||
values: English |
||||
``` |
||||
