Generate definitions for your sentence cards

Показать описание
You've just made a subs2srs deck, it has images, audio, and text. But it doesn't have any definitions! Or there's a sentence deck you'd like to use but you dislike its definitions. Give up and add manually, or?... I have found myself in this situation once, and I'm here to save the trouble for everyone else.
Shortly speaking, we make MorphMan to take the needed words out of sentences, and using MIA's Dictionary addon we export definitions from a given dictionary based on the words that MorphMan points out. And you'll need to repeat the process from time to time.

This all might sound like a hassle, but it is definitely faster than manually pasting definitions for thousands of cards.

Preparations
Please refer to the links below to see how to set them up.

MIA Dictionary allows you to integrate a dictionary in Anki and use it for reference, quick flashcard making, etc.
MorphMan keeps track of the words you know and reschedules cards based on this data, so that your new sentence cards will contain only a single new word.

MorphMan has full support of Japanese and Chinese, and also allows a limited support of languages that have spaces between words.

Now, watch the video. Warning: I included some music in the middle of it.

Explanation to the video: MorphMan will not generate the needed word out of a sentence when the card "is not ready", that is, when it contains more than one unknown word, so, like in the video guide, since MorphMan's database is empty, you will only get correct definitions for the cards that have no more than a single word, whereas the rest will be defined by something irrelevant, like を in my case.
To deal with it, I suggest you to get a side deck with ready definitions and study it for a while, like 100 words from it, and make sure that MorphMan tracks it, so that when you start generating definitions, you will have something MorphMan can work with. If you already have a deck, simply let MorphMan know about it, run MorphMan Recalculation, and do the steps shown in the video.
It is therefore recommended that your sentence deck includes as many cards as possible, so that you get more new suitable cards in shorter time. Combine several sentence decks, etc.
As you only need to generate definitions only for these suitable cards with a single unknown word, you don't want to define the whole deck all over again.
Once you run out of the defined cards, simply repeat the process.

That's it. Feel free to ask any questions or provide suggestions in the comments below. Happy studies.

The video includes a fragment of the Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. I claim no rights for the anime.

it doesn't work anymore. Morphman is not taking the words from the Expression Field.
