Hello.
I’ve made a post recently in the Vocab thread but was met with no response even though the staff here seems to be very active. The post is here.
After starting doing the N5 vocab deck I noticed a couple things that could improve the experience:
- option to show furigana after answering (could of course apply to all decks, not just vocab), this is a minor QoL feature but it could greatly improve the flow; taking my hand off the keyboard and aiming the mouse at the word takes more time for me than answering the question,
- using a random (or not so random) example sentence with the word in question highlighted instead of showing a single word with no context (this could again be a turn on/off option), this could greatly benefit everyone as the example sentences here are pretty great and the more exposure the better,
- hooking some voice synthesizer to play audio on demand, I don’t expect you to voice everything here as there is just so much, but I think having even a poor voice synthesizer could be beneficial,
- option to change input method from English meaning to Japanese pronunciation, I’m listing this but I’m not so sure about this here; this is what I used for my Anki decks as remembering an English translation 1:1 for thousands of words is rather improbable, especially for a language that expresses complex English concepts in single words, however Bunpro has some synonyms and also allows small typos so it’s not so bad, and there’s also many hiragana/katakana words which wouldn’t work well with this.
I know Bunpro is mostly for grammar, but since you added vocab decks too, I would like them to be as good as possible. What at your thoughts? Would this be good/useful?
