掲示板 Forums - Fall 2024 Focus: Text Analyzer Improvements
Top > renshuu.org > Feature Requests/Improvements
Small QOL thing, but for the Pro features it would be nice to have the list option work the same as the schedule option and allow you to add to an existing list, rather than having to make a new list for each text.
More QOL feature / setting ideas:
1. Render document as a single page, instead of paged.
2. Break pages at end of final line, rather than in the middle.
3. Allow adjusting vertical spacing between lines. Many other readers have more gap between paragraphs, to make the distinction slightly more obvious and improve readability.
4. Allow defining/ignoring red (missing) terms, and/or allow hiding the red until hover. Documents with names are spotted with red words, which is highly distracting from reading. Reparse doesn't allow defining words that aren't in the dictionary.
5. Enable auto-speak on word hover (if audio available).
6. Default to the Reader tab, instead of Analysis.
7. Once groups exist for documents, a Next button at the end, and maybe a Previous button at the beginning (when a next/prev file exists) would make navigation simpler.
8. Ability to mark a document as Read (small dot indicator?) in list
9. Ability to favorite a document
10. Notes attached to a document, and maybe even its own tab. Example: Adding notes on a grammar item. Tab could show all my notes on that document next to the line the note is about, or even all notes on files in a group.
11. Highlight words / lines that you find valuable. Similar to 10, but could indicate without interaction.
12. Inline / temporary parsing. Would parse the content immediately on pasting, update once parsed, and disappear once tab is closed. Even better if the content could be updated without having to open the separate edit document modal and find where to change the original source.
13. Load text from txt file / PDF. May not be worth the work, but would be nice not to have to open the file separately and then paste the content over. Could then default to use the file's title as well
14. Building on 13, bulk upload of files
15. Ability to cancel analyzing a file while it is processing. Currently have to wait until it is done.
16. Option to bias rendering dialog above/below hovered word
17. Adjust / invert font + background color (only for text analyzer)
18. Adjust font / font size (only for text analyzer)
1. Filter by frequency/JLPT. The current filter only allows "Nx and up". If there are lower JLPT/more frequently used words I don't yet know, I want to learn those first. Rather than both "Nx and up" and "Nx and down" allow to just multi-select the individual JLPT (or frequency) category in the filter.
2. Filter by frequency of words found in the analyzed text. If I'm reading a book, it makes more sense to learn a word used 100 times over a word used once. E.g. "only include words used more than XX times" where XX is a whole number input, defaulted to 1 (everything). Might be useful to extend this to Kanji and Grammar as well.
3. List what file types the tool allows to import. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what I could use. Epub, then pdf, then docx and none of them worked. I'm guessing it only takes txt files? I ended up just copy/paste from the docx into the tool manually.
And yes, my ideal use case would be using it to make vocab lists for books I'm about to/currently reading. 
Notes on groups:
Super excited to have this feature! Initial thoughts:
- Minor: Don't show Ungrouped header / Dropdown when no other group exists
- Minor: Something is off about the header; feels a little weird rendered as a link with same emphasis as other links (minus the size). It is good enough, and I don't have a suggestion other than a chevron showing open state.
- Header vertical centering with text count would be nice.
- Got an undefined group when I tried to make my first one
- Group list isn't shown in the Adjust groups section. No option to edit / delete (I assume these are coming)
