Resources for UNIX-like system users who are acquiring languages by immersion. Examples shown use japanese as the target language.
This repository provides files and instructions to replicate a typical workflow when mining cards in a UNIX-like (GNU/Linux, BSDs, MacOS) system. In a Windows system the workflow for creating flashcards depends on ShareX, which is free software but isn't available for other platforms
Using simple command line tools like xclip, imagemagick, arecord and
ffmpeg, it's possible to make scripts with dependencies that most users
should naturally fulfill. Each user is free to use and modify the scripts.
The folder structure is the following:
- AUDIO - how to record playback audio and export to Anki
- .asoundrc - config file for ALSA
- qolibri-play - script for grabbing audio from qolibri
- qolibri-mp3 - script for grabbing audio from qolibri as mp3
- record - script for recording playback audio
- PICTURE - how to quickly take screenshots and export them to Anki
- printscreen - script that takes a screenshot
- ocrshot - script that generates text in a target language from image
Most scripts are expected to run on X11, and, for the time being, Wayland users needs to adapt them by changing a few commands.
