FAQ and Troubleshooting

MorphMan says MecabUnidic is missing

MorphMan needs the MecabUnidic add-on to cut Japanese into words. Go to Settings > Parsing > Download and install, then restart Anki.

If the download fails, install it by hand. See Installation.

Recalc says "No field to analyze is selected"

A line of Analyze Cards > Identify Cards has a note type but no field. Pick the field with the sentence, then Recalc again.

My new cards are not sorted

  • Is the line of your deck on Reorder? Count Words and Modify don't move the cards.
  • Did you Recalc (Ctrl+M) since?

A word I know counts as unknown

  • Is the card with this word read by Recalc? Check its note type and field in Analyze Cards.
  • Have you reviewed the card at least once?
  • Spelling: with Match the spelling on, 言う and いう are two words. See Settings > Parsing.

You know it from somewhere else? Press K on its card while you study, or add the mm_AK tag.

The Example column is empty

None of your cards has this word in a sentence long enough (Settings > Words to learn > Examples). Or Recalc was never run.

"Show in text" is greyed out

The title was read from a corpus file (.corpusdb): its texts aren't on your computer. It works on your own files.

"Create vocabulary lists" or "Save as Corpus File" is greyed out

MorphMan let go of the last analysis to free memory (the window was closed, or a new analysis started). Analyze again.

A shortcut doesn't work

Another add-on may use the same keys. Change MorphMan's in Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts.

I have the old MorphMan

Turn it off in Tools > Add-ons. The new one reads your old databases. See Installation.
