Identify Cards

One line per kind of card.

ColumnWhat it does
Note typeThe note type of your cards. Or All note types.
FieldsThe field MorphMan reads. See Which field?
TagsOnly the notes with these tags. Separate them with commas. Empty = any note.
MorphemizerHow the sentence is cut into words. Keep MeCab for Japanese.
Count Words / Modify / ReorderWhat MorphMan does with these cards. Pick one.
  • Count Words: MorphMan counts the words you know. Nothing is changed in the notes. A word counts as known once you have reviewed its card, or if the note has the mm_AK tag.
  • Modify: same, and MorphMan also writes its fields and tags into the notes. The cards stay where they are.
  • Reorder: same as Modify, and MorphMan also sorts your new cards. The k+1 cards (one unknown word) come first.

Which one to use:

  • Your old decks, or decks you don't want touched: Count Words.
  • A sentence bank: Modify. Its cards keep their place, and Recalc doesn't spend time moving them.
  • The deck you learn from: Reorder.

Which field?

Every word of the field counts. When you review the card, all of them become known, not just the word you're learning.

  • Best: a field with a full sentence. The context helps MeCab find the right words.
  • No sentence on your cards? Use the field with the word the card teaches.

Buttons under the table:

  • Add Row: a new line.
  • Delete: removes the selected line. The last one can't be deleted.
  • Up / Down: moves the selected line.

If a note matches several lines, only the first one counts. So order matters.

Don't forget the field. If a line has a note type but no field, Recalc stops and tells you.
