I’m going to check this out later for Korean. It doesn’t look too complicated in your video. A while back migaku was free but too hard to use in my opinion. It looks a lot more polished now.
I'm good at making things hard I think. I'm using this to watch Netflix. I spent a lot of time last night using your video to setup Migaku. Your video is really helpful but I still struggled. I am using this for Korean and I'm having a couple issues. One issue is that the imported definitions are not spaced well at all. They have a lot of multiple lines and blank lines in them so it doesn't fit on one screen and I have to scroll a lot (on my iPhone anyway) unless I go in and manually clean up the definitions which I'm doing right now. This isn't a deal breaker as I'm used to it anyway. Then the pop up dictionary is super annoying. I mean it's useful of course, except when you're done looking at it. It just sticks around and doesn't go away unless you restart the movie. But I'm doing other things and if I go to make a card then the dictionary pop up will ruin the screen shot. I really hope they fix this. Also not a deal breaker. (EDIT: found out how to make it go away - just press shift when the mouse isn't hovering over a word) The deal breaker is that the toolbar and pretty much the add on itself just crashes. This has happened several times now. The tool bar randomly disappears and you can't look up words etc. I need to restart Chrome. I'm going to keep trying to use it and hope it stops crashing but if it doesn't then I think I'm done. I had a good run last night and it worked for a couple hours without crashing but today it's crashed several times. I'm looking on the forums and it's depressing to see how people are asking questions but nobody is answering anything. (EDIT: Another edit, the problem came back even with no other tabs it windows open. It seems another add on caused the issue. I don’t know what, I just disabled all other add ones to fix it)
Thanks for the tutorial it's quite complete, I need to use the legacy app because the new one doesn't have a way to delay the subs (or I haven't found it) but one thing I miss is seeing faster (with just hovering) the frequency to know what to focus on, I think there's something similar from the settings in the frequency dictionaries config but I don't truely understand the setting it's related to T1 sentences I think?
I was having trouble mining single words. When I click Q, it mines the entire sentence. How do you mine one word selected so that you dont need to go into the auto generated card to delete the other words? I tried highlighting the word I wanted and pressed Q but it still creates a card for the entire sentence
I personally just use English dictionaries most of the time as I find it much quicker and I haven't experienced benefits from using J-J dictionaries unless I feel like I want to see an additional definition. I left a more detailed comment on some other video, but maybe I'll just make a video one day explaining the reasons why in detail.
Is there a way to automatically bold the target word when you create a card and send it to Anki I like to keep the target word in a sentence on the front, but if it’s not bolded, I’m not always sure which word I’m supposed to be trying to remember
What is the macOS equivalent hot key for looking to see if you have an anki card in your deck during sentence mining? I haven't found that out yet so I have to go through the pain of searching a deck manually to see if I made a card.
Hello! The "shift" button in Migaku player does not work for me. I can't view dictionaries and it's very inconvenient! But if you watch the video on TH-cam, then everything is fine, please help)
How did you get the unknown words bolded or underlined? like you have the original sentance above on the anki cards and then below is are the unkonwn words.
It can be demanding with very long videos or websites with tons of text. Though I was able to sentence mine on an i7-6700HQ/16GB ram laptop no problem.
Alright could you help me with migaku as I'm really struggling with it I thought it would be simple to set up but it's far from simple I can't get the dictionary add on with anki it's not recognising the add on code I'm on the newest anki I think it's the q5 one 2.1.60 it just seems so hard to sort out I watched your videos and thought I'd try it out as I am also learning Japanese I've been trying for hours to sort it the whole set up and I'm struggling
The cards from Migaku get added to note types in Anki, not to the decks. So I cannot study them like usual decks. It is really confusing..What should I do?
Do you have a deck and a note type properly selected in the Migaku Dictionary? It shouldn't be able to turn cards into note types just due to the way Anki works. If there are further issues, you can contact Migaku or join their Discord or something for help since they/others can probably help you more.
Does the extension stop automatically for you when you reach a sentence that is 1T (i+1)? Or do I always have to look out for them myself? Maybe there is a setting?
If I wanted a sentence in Anki to have a screenshot for context, how would I do that? For example, when trying to answer an Anki card I am shown the screenshot and sentence before hearing the audio and answer
I have a question, you mark words as seen by pressing 2 each time you mine a word. Doesn't it add all mined words to the words database automatically? Do you have to re-sync to anki regularly?
After spending half a day trying to set up anki and migaku i came to outcome that it really wont help in very beggining stages of learning, and it would really take more time to set up everything than learn. Conclusion, dont force yourself to use something if it really dont works out for you, for me, setting up anki and searching for reputable deck that will also fit to my needs took hell of a time
After shopping for groceries and then cutting up all the produce, I made dinner and realized I could have had the same outcome if I had just gone to McDonald’s. Moral of the story - just eat fast food every time you’re hungry.
@morgan yu yes, beginners should be getting listening practice and a little bit of immersion, what I said was a complete beginner shouldnt be SENTENCE mining, immersion is fine
For anyone who uses migaku, it got updated and now you're forced to pay for a subscription fee and you're tied to only 100 cards in the trial, here is a comment from the anki forum regarding this: ''Code for this add-on is open source for the kind person who wants to port it to anki versions above 2.1.35. Taking something that WAS free and making it paid in a world where everything is now a subscription is a great way to alienate your users and fans.''
🤔That software is free. Our new software isn't free. We didn't make something that didn't cost before cost. Surely we have the freedom to move on to new projects? 🤷
I am a heavy Anki user who has been religiously using Anki for the past 3 years. I absolutely love the idea of migaku as I am currently learning German however the add-on is so unbelievably difficult and buggy. The founders are absolute donuts for making this so complicated and the automated card generation still doesn't work.
Hi Livakivi! Sorry to botter, but I seem to have a problem with your custom note type. For some reason, it does not have the same layout as its shown in the video. Every thing is centered to the left and the font size is very small, and i dont know how to adjust it 😔 Could you help me?
It's kinda hard to tell, but sounds like the CSS might be missing? You don't need to use the note type I provided, but, if you hit "Tools" > "Manage Note Types" > Livakivi Example Note Type > Cards > Styling, does it have the fields cards / font face / japanese text? If not, may be a good idea to delete it and re-download the note type.
I have the same problem. It worked for the first couple of times, and now everything is left-aligned. Unfortunately, I dont have a programming background and will most likely have to end up using the default migaku note type.
In my case, pressing 'q' is not working - the card is not being created. It succeeded very occasionally after pressing it hundreds of times. Do you happen to know why is that? I would be grateful for help. Edit: Actually, any hot key is not working now :(
That is weird, I haven't had anything like that, occasionally the keyboard layout you have active in your OS can affect it like I said in the video, but it shouldn't be a problem for keys like Q. I recommend joining the Migaku Discord or something and asking there, they are usually fast to respond, and I can't really help much myself since I'm not part of the Migaku team.
Does Migaku provide audio for the word if you mined it from text like the wikipedia you showed? I really like having the audio for the word even if its AI generated or not fully pitch accurate.
@@chiefsosaya7869 Maybe I frased my question wrong: What features are missing in language reactor that make migaku better? (I haven't used either, so I basically wanted to know which one is better. Since Livakivi is using Migaku, he thinks its better than language reactor, so I was asking why).
@@jonande LanguageReactor can parse videos like Migaku, thats the only thing it really has going for itself. Can't automatically create cards, can't import ankii knowledge to mark which words you know, can't parse text, doesn't have pitch trainer etc. Migaku is a all-in-one solution for sentence mining while languagereactor just displays the text for you and makes it more accesible
I think I explained how somewhere in my sentence mining video, but as a note, I personally just mine auto-generated subtitles for a long time already by now. Though it requires a higher baseline as you need to know when the auto-subtitles are wrong.
The shortcut is listed in the Migaku Anki extension settings. You should be able to change it/see it there. It worked on Linux I remember, so I assume it should work on Mac as well. As a note, the Anki extension is free, so you should be able to use that shortcut even without subscribing to Migaku.
I used Yomichan for around 4000 cards I think before I started using Migaku. For me there are plenty of reasons I prefer Migaku over Yomichan, starting with automatic recording of audio + screenshotting in TH-cam/Netflix based on subtitle timing, as well as adding multiple unknown words into a single card instead of being limited to only 1 unknown target word during card creation. I have to edit the card manually afterwards every time I want to mine 2 words inside a single card with Yomichan. The keyboard shortcuts, pitch colorings, learning status are also a nice bonus for Migaku. I still have Yomichan installed on firefox for quick lookups though, as Migaku is chrome-only and I use Firefox as my main browser.
There seems to be no simple step by step instruction in chronological order their guides are all over the place and it's not in a step by step you don't know which order they are in it's confusing maybe you could do a clear and simple guide in order from the beginning and explained in a way for people that ain't the best on computers

Could you please do an updated video with the new Migaku? 😊
That would be amazing. Did you ever find find another video with updated migaku?
hiii love your channel and content, would it be possible to have another guide on migaku since they've updated the app?
bro, I think they must pay you to make some videos on their channel cause you're far more comprehensive than they're entire help section

さすが、リヴァキヴィさん、凄く便利な動画です。ありがとうございます。一つ質問があるんですけれども、カードを作る時に知らない言葉の説明にはいつも英和辞書を使っていますか。それともスーパー大辞林とか新明解のとかも使っていますか。今僕はN3/2レベルで、出来るだけ国語辞典を使っているんですけれども、勿論日本語の説明は難しすぎる場合は英和のも使っています。でも、リヴァキヴィの動画を見ると、英和の説明だけの方が覚えるのが早いかなあと思ってるんですが、リヴァキヴィはどう思いますか。🤔毎度ありがとうございます🙏
I personally just use English dictionaries most of the time as I find it much quicker and I haven't experienced benefits from using J-J dictionaries unless I feel like I want to see an additional definition. I left a more detailed comment on some other video, but maybe I'll just make a video one day explaining the reasons why in detail.
@@BudgetLivakivi 返信してくれてありがとうございます！そうか、なるほどね。時間があれば、この話について動画作ったらすっごく面白いと思います！一つ問題見つけたんですけど、ある言葉は文脈によって、沢山の同義語があって、その同義語の中で意味の違いを調べたら、日本語の説明だけで分かるのは難しい… なので、その場合だったら、英和辞典を参考にしています。一方で、メリットは読書力が凄く進歩して来ました。そう言っても、もしいつも英和辞典使ったら読書の速さがもっと速くなって来るかもしれません。
兎に角、本当にリヴァキヴィさんのご意見を全部聞きたいので、この話について新しい動画を楽しみにしています！ありがとうございます！🙇♂

Sometimes people focus on the newest tool, rather then just studying the language. There are no shortcuts.
