This program was created because anki would not compile for me on OpenBSD. If somebody for whatever reason decides to try this, be aware that this was programmed in 3 days and only provides bare minimum functionality.

Features (not in anki):

  • automatic scraping of meaning, furigana and word lists from jisho.org
  • kanji meanings for every kanji in word are shown when flipped
  • for every new kanji in word, a single kanji word will be added with this particular kanji
  • when single kanji word is flipped, topmost parts of kanji are shown
  • easy creation and management of word lists
  • will probably scale very badly because python

How to get japanese input to work on OpenBSD (this worked for me):

  • install japanese fonts
  • install fcitx, fcitx-anthy, fcitx-configtool-qt and kasumi
  • put this into .xsession: 
    export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
...
exec dbus-launch i3```
  • autostart fcitx5 (I put it in i3config): exec --no-startup-id fcitx5 -rd
  • configure with configtool to use anthy

Actions:

  • [a]dd
  • [l]ist: manage word lists
  • [e]dit
  • [r]eview
  • write: save changes to flashcards.db
  • exit: exit and save to flashcards.db
  • abort: exit without saving
  • export: export words to words.json
  • import: import words from words.json (already added words will be ignored)

Add:

  • input the word to add and follow prompts
  • [e]dit: the current word is automatically selected
  • [m]anual: switch to manual mode and back
    • edit the EDITOR variable in flashcard.py to your favorite text editor
    • you will get a json form to fill out
    • example furigana input for 三月(month): ["さん", "がつ"]

Edit:

  • input word to select it
  • [d]elete: delete selected word
  • [m]eaning: edit meaning
  • [i]nfo: display word info
  • [a]dd: add to word lists
  • [r]emove: remove from word lists

Edit meaning:

  • [c]hange {index}
  • [d]elete {index}
  • [a]dd

Manage word lists:

  • [r]ename {index}
  • [d]elete {index}
  • [a]dd

Review:

  • choose word lists and from their union select n cards
  • repeat until no word list is chosen
  • review process will start:
    • if you get a card wrong once, card stays in the same slot
    • if you get a card wrong twice, card goes back one slot
    • otherwise card advances one slot
  • [b]ack: cancel and save state
  • [a]bort: cancel without saving
  • cards that are loaded from save which have been deleted in the meanwhile are discarded

Notes:

  • almost all prompts allow you to input [b]ack which will cancel the action and go back
  • everywhere where you can choose several options you can provide comma separated list and range notation is supported (e.g. 1,4-6,9)
