Anki add-on: maobi - Chinese Hanzi Writing Quizzes in Anki v0 6 0

máobĭ (毛笔) is an Anki add-on to create cards with writing quizzes for Hanzi (Chinese characters). Please visit the maobi Github repository web page for a more detailed README. Please use the Anki PyQt 6 version with this addon! Quick start Install the addon via the code found on the maobi Anki page Download and import the example deck Restart Anki. Open the deck and start writing! Motivation Learning Chinese is difficult, remembering what you have learned even more so. I heavily rely on Anki to review my vocabulary. It has changed my study life and made it possible for me to remember all the words, characters, chengyu, sentences and pass my exams. While Anki itself is good to remember the meaning of words and characters, I found it difficult to use for remembering writing Hanzi. There is the possiblity of using AnkiDroid and the built-in whiteboard or defining a workflow as described in a blog entry of EastAsiaStudent . I tried it, but I did not like it too much. A paid alternative that I used heavily in the past is Skritter . Right now, I really dislike the Version 2, their update policy and the bugs in the scheduling. It also is really unresponsive, making me wasting (lots of!) time by just waiting for the app. A contender of Skritter for mobile is Inkstone , but I did not get warm with that either. Another aspect is that I personally do not like to use many different programs and tools to collect vocabulary. Therefore, I built maobi to remember writing Hanzi within Anki . Now, I have all my learning progress in one tool! Configure the decks and note types for which maobi is enabled Before using maobi, it has to be specified for which decks and templates the add-on should be enabled. The field that contains the character to write also has to be given. In order to tell maobi these values, you need to edit the add-on configuration. This can be done in the Card Layout view: For more information, visit the maobi Github repository web page . Disclaimer This add-on right now just contains a basic implementation. It is by no means feature complete or well-tested. If you have feature requests or encounter bugs, please open an issue in the issue tracker .
