掲示板 Forums - A few issues I need help with!

Hi all,

I'm so close to going over to the premium side for Renshuu but there are a few issues that I can't work out how to solve. I'm not sure if they're bugs or if I'm just misunderstanding something so I'm posting in here. Hopefully someone will be able to help!

1. More frequent reviews

I'm someone that needs something constantly reinforced for something to stick, and so for the first few times I see a word I have set the mastery schedule to repeat very closely together as demonstrated as below:

I also renforce completely new words with focused reviews during the day. To my understanding the above setting mean I should see any new words show up for review every 1 days for the first for mastery levels and then 2 , 7 , 14, 30 and 120 days respectively. However, yesterday I studied 20 completley new words (and an additional 9, which I know quite well already). The following day, (today) I have only 7 of those appearing in my mastery schedule, and 13 haven't appeared:

Why is this is, there something I'm doing wrong?

2. Not all study vectors are appearing for review

In addition to the above, not all study vectors are appearing for the reviews I have for the day. I like to have to physically type the answer and also do a recall question, so I've set the following:

However, on the review (of the seven above) only one study vector type has appeared. Leading to the below:

I'm not studying all the required vectors and talking longer to master than required.

3. No Kanji in Review:

With the above settings I would prefer on recall questions to show the Kanji with furigana, but instead for most of the questions it shows the kana with a kanji hint. Is there a way to change these settings?

Example:

4. Incorrect Conjugation

I've added the new word "真っ直ぐ行く” as it's something I've picked up in my IRL course. It is admittedly a compound word, but it should use the irregular conjugations of the 行く verb. Unfortunaley there's no specific option for this, so I end up with the below:

Is there a way to fix this or add a new type of conjugation for 行く?

5. Audio

Is there a way to add TTS audio for words that don't have them yet. It's not perfect but I find this helps for recall and pronounciation.

Sorry for the long post, hopefully someone will be able to help with these questions. :)

Wow thanks for such a quick and concise reply, especially on a Sunday!

5. Maybe a compromise could be an option for a user to upload custom audio for vocabulary or a sentance (maybe premium only to cover costs) and also that is only available to that user? That could be a decent compromise and is basically up to the user to decide.

4. Thank you!

3. I think the issue is that I would like the furigana as it helps re-enforce the reading for things I haven't learnt yet. I have set it as this and it isn't as displayed:

I think it should work as the following:

Option 1: Always display Kanji with Furigana. If you have studied the kanji, don't show the furigana.

Option 2: Always show kana with Kanji hint if available.

Option 3: Only show Kanji when available.

2. The thing is I studied the different vectors on the same day, which is why I can't understand why they haven't appeared on the following day, but could be due to one. I'm going to restart the mastery levels (as it's easier to see what I was expecting). When I study tomorrow, I will send through the report. :)

1. I think this exclusion would help massivley if you have the time to look at it! Thank you so much.

Thanks again!

5. While that is technically possible, it's unfortunately not a realistic option from my standpoint. Renshuu is just me and my wife, and I do all the development, so working on any given feature is not working on something else. While the concept seems simple, I can see a ton of possible feature creep (record vs upload, upload tons of files at once, dealing with file security, people wanting to cache the files on their devices, etc.) that would prevent me from making it a worthwhile feature without a considerable amount of work.

3. What you're saying makes sense. I do not intent to change that specific setting, but I do have an upcoming feature (I cannot say when, but I'd like to hope that it's this month or next) that will work inside of the schedules and do what you're hoping to see. That particular setting does not just govern how things appear in quizzes, but in word lists and sentences as well, so it's not one that can be changed easily without affecting just about every corner of renshuu :)

2. That sounds exactly how the randomizer and adjustments would affect it. One gets a day, the other gets 1.6 days due to various multipliers, adjusted up to 2 days.

1. I'll let you know when this is ready! Should be a fairly easy thing to do.

5. Totally understand the issue with scope creep, I work in Product Management so I can see where you're coming from! I figured it could be rather narrow in concept to avoid this, similar to how you attach images to a given word and you could leave it at that. Totally understand the issues with security and caching though.

3. Sounds awesome! I think the current setting is a bit weird because it differs in how you view vocab in quizzes as apposed to how you see them on the rest of the site (e.g. sentences).

2 & 1. Awesome, thanks for this! I've sent through a report this morning if you needed it but sounds like you're on top of it!

Sorry, I'm not overly familiar with what this is? I think this is great for a means of prioritization but I wouldn't want to have to wait for a recording to be done before I wanted to start learning a word.

Setting added! It has been turned off by default for all existing users (in other words, to preserve the status quo), but turned on by default for new users (in that they'll see it if they make changes to their mastery levels).

If you pop open the global settings panel and search for "mastery", you'll see it.

Too late, already in there! *laughs*

Got something for you to try!

Wow, what a lovely surprise! Seems to be working exactly as described for me so far!

I've encountered a couple of bugs for the new mastery schedules setting though:

1. Not all the the vectors are appearing in line with the strict Mastery schedules. The first set of vectors I had 32, the second I had 15. I've sent through a report but we should probably give the schedule to settle.

2. I seem to have a stuck 9 reviews that won't disappear no matter how many times I study. I've sent through a report on this. :)

Thanks for all of your continued hard work!

Just to add to some of my testing, I think that the new “Always Show kanji for hiragana -> meaning questions” settings is creating an issue where meaning questions do not progress in mastery for some reason. Again, I’ve sent a report this afternoon to help with it. (Sorry for all these reports you must be getting! >_<)

Sentence-questions should be compatible now, too.

In Shiritori my words played keeps going down for some reason. Before I had over 300 words and now I’m back to around 100. Is this normal？
