> AnkiWeb <

Features

  • modes
    • bulk add and remove
    • manual add/edit/remove for single cards
  • accent illustrations
    • pitch accent illustrations are created as SVG; no image files involved and CSS stylable
    • illustrations include pitch annotations as well as aligned kana
    • each accent position corresponds to one mora; ζ‹—ιŸ³ (e.g. きゃ) are automatically merged
  • disambiguation
    • when an expression has several possible readings (e.g. ζ±šγ‚Œ) the script tries to determine which one is used by inspecting the reading field of the card
    • if a word is mostly katakana, katakana instead of hiragana are used in the illustration
  • compatibility
    • accent illustrations sync to mobile and web versions of Anki
    • night mode compatibility through CSS (see description on ankiweb)
