Japanese Verb Transitivity Anki Plugin
Japanese Verb Transitivity Anki Plugin 🏮
📌 Overview
This Anki plugin parses cards and automatically appends the transitivity of Japanese verbs as:
- Self-Move (Intransitive) 🏃♂️ – The action occurs by itself.
- Other-Move (Transitive) 🎯 – The action is performed on an object.
This tool helps learners quickly identify verb transitivity, making sentence comprehension and memorization easier.
🎓 Project Background
This plugin was developed as part of my Grade 12 Computer Engineering final project. As part of this project, I also:
- Created a presentation on Anki and the problems with the Core 2k/6k deck.
- Maintained a daily development journal tracking progress and challenges.
- Developed a proof of concept for scraping verb transitivity from Jisho.org using JavaScript.
⚙️ Features
✅ Automated Verb Transitivity Detection – Parses Anki cards and classifies verbs as either intransitive or transitive.
✅ Efficient Integration – Works seamlessly with Anki to enhance existing decks.
✅ Jisho Scraping Prototype – Includes a JavaScript proof of concept for web scraping transitivity data.
🛠️ Tech Stack
- Python (for Anki plugin development)
- JavaScript (for Jisho.org scraping proof of concept)
📜 Future Enhancements
🔹 Enhance scraping accuracy – Improve data extraction for edge cases.
🔹 Support for more dictionaries – Expand beyond Jisho.org for better transitivity detection.
🔹 Customizable tagging – Allow users to modify how transitivity labels appear.
