Add text to speech for Kanji and vocabulary

Open DPTJKKVH opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I'm using Kakugo in conjunction with Duolingo to focus more on Kanji and vocabulary "to meaning" training. Kakugo is pretty much perfect for that matter while Duolingo is lacking a dedicated vocabulary training mode.

However one thing that Duolingo is doing well is to provide text to speech for all Kanji and vocabulary they teach you. One of the dictionaries (Aedict) I use also allows text to speech if a Japanese TTS is installed on the device. This feature is lacking from Kakugo.

Learning pronunciation and meaning of Kanji/vocabulary seperately is not optimal in my opinion. For Kanji/vocabulary to meaning it would be great if I was presented with a Kanji/vocabulary and then be able to "tap" it for a TTS readout before I give my answer. This way I could learn the pronunciation and meaning in one go like I do with Duolingo. (I'm also remembering kanji/vocabulary easier if I can associate a pronunciation to it.)

I hope this was not too confusing. I'm happy to explain via voice chat or create a video to show what I mean if necessary.
