User provided files

Some scripts expect files in a specific format to be available in the same folder as the scripts.

Chinese.txt: Anki Export

The Chinese.txt file should be a tsv file with the second column containing the simplified characters.

skritter-export.tsv: Skritter export

This is just the word list exported from Skritter in tsv format.

Scripts

summary.py

Shows some useful information:

• Characters in Skritter not in Anki
• Missing chars in Anki: characters that appear in Anki Multi-Char words, but have not been added as a single character (by frequency).
• Missing chars in Skritter: same thing, but for Skritter
• Missing words HSK: words the HSK level (hardcode to 3) not included in Anki yet (random).

Requires Chinese.txt anki export and skritter-export.tsv to exist.

words.py
