Good plugin
Posted on 2016-06-11

It doesn't seem to be finished, but it is the best plugin for adding audio for the moment. And also you can modify it to make it almost ideal.

Good for what it does, but time-consuming for my purposes
Posted on 2016-06-10

My only problem is how time-consuming it is to enter audio for every card. (I only use this with the JapanesePod source, so it loads faster after removing the other sources.) I study on my phone, not on the desktop program. So I use the desktop anki browser and this addon to generate audio for my cards before putting them on my phone. But that involves clicking on a note, clicking on a field in the note, clicking the addon button, clicking "Ok," wait for it to find the audio, click "Ok" again, then go on to the next note. If there was a way to mass generate with only one or 2 clicks for each note to make sure it grabbed the correct audio, then I would find this more useful. But the way it is now, I'd rather use AwesomeTTS to generate audio for hundreds of cards, even though I would prefer a real voice recording instead of TTS voice.

Great!

Super helpful for getting audio for my Japanese vocabulary cards. Have to admit I miss it a bit when I am doing my Korean cards. Would it be possible to add support for Korean (maybe Naver or Daum dictionary would be possible)? Other than that, totally awesome! Keep up the great work.

Amazing Addon

It's definitely the most useful addon for learning languages.

Like many others I have been searching for a way to disable some of the many sources from which audio files are downloaded because it takes quite some time to disable them one by one in the download video.

Luckily the FAQ offer a simple solution:

Thank you and please keep up the good work!

Great addon!

I've been using this addon for more than a year and am very grateful for it! Many thanks to the author!!

However, I usually only download one audio file for a card, so I had to uncheck all the other files i didn't want, which was a bit inconvenient (also mentioned by another user here). Therefore I had a look at the addon code and found where to set the default download option to delete. Now I am even happier with this great addon :-D

If you are wondering how to do it yourself, just follow these steps:
1. Find the path Anki\addons\downloadaudio on your computer.
2. Open the file "download_entry.py" in the folder with an editor.
3. Change line 31 "self.action = Action.Add" to "self.action = Action.Delete"
4. Save the file and restart Anki.

Annoying user experience
Posted on 2015-08-04

I always add only one audio file to my cards but every time it finds a lot of audio files and offers me to add all of them. That is really boring and annoying because every time I have to unset (delete) a lot of the audio files to add only one that I really need. I'd like to use only one source, how can I disable all the other sources?

a must-have !
Posted on 2015-06-07

but can you just add the possibility to choose one or more audio's sources, because with my low internet connection it takes a while to load.

Awesome!

Can't believe I didn't use this earlier.
I ususally download already made decks and when the next Japanese books deck had no audio my success rate dropped a lot - turns out I'm the auditive type.

Only complaint is that there seems to be no shortcut to the download function when adding to an old deck (that I'm aware of - might be just me). I made myself a mouse macro for "ALT+B->+M->Enter" to speed up the process - really nice!

Thanks for the awesome work!

I'd kill for this to work with Dict.cc
Posted on 2015-05-04

A lot of people, including myself, get a ton of pronounciations from Dict.cc, if we cannot find them on Duden.

Any chance you could add support for this huge resource, please?

Great addon!
Posted on 2015-04-03

It helps a lot with learing languages!

There is a small request for a feature.

http://s7.hostingkartinok.com/uploads/images/2015/04/f7826037d4fe9e83e587c3c2507dd705.png

For most of the words, like on the screenshot above, there are multiple sources for the prononciation. In most of the cases user needs only one file with prononciation, so he has to uncheck all options except for one. It is quite time consuming, when you add severl tens of words.

My proposal is to make some sort of priority list, so only one option with the highest priority would be checked on.

Priority lists would make it possible to skip this window at all. For example, i always prefer Duden to any other prononciation, if there is non then Beolingus or Wiktionary. So if the addon finds a file with the spelling on one of this sources, i don't need to see this window at all.

Thanks for your work, you are doing great job for users!

Great plugin, but could you make a few changes?
Posted on 2015-02-08

Brilliant plug-in and is amazing...only couple of things is would it be possible to limit the audio types to mp3 only or add an extra field so I know what audio type it is? Ogg files don't work on iphone. And can you modify it so the audio files are 'x' by default?

Excellent
Posted on 2014-12-16

This is spectacularly useful if you're learning one of the supported languages. I used to download the files one by one… Thank you so much for your work!

Please consider adding a donation or flattr button somewhere.

The Cambridge dictionary would be a nice addition - e.g. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/media/british/uk_pron/u/uks/uksta/ukstate022.mp3

(Yes, I know that you said you won't be adding any more English dictionaries – but the Cambridge one is one of the very best!)

In the case of the OALD, would it be possible to filter out either the UK or the US pronunciation? e.g. http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/media/english/uk_pron/a/ame/ameli/ameliorate__gb_1.mp3 vs http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/media/english/us_pron/a/ame/ameli/ameliorate__us_1.mp3

Another small thing: would there be a possibility to display the SOURCE directly as text in a separate column i.e. not only when one hovers over the link? In my case at least (Mac Yosemite), the icons are not showing, which, I gather, is due to the fact that I don't have Qt installed.

To the users asking for Forvo – have a look at the Manual! In short, use https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1211332804

Great, but pleaes add forvo!
Posted on 2014-12-15

Need forvo as it has hebrew. I can imagine this would be a great time saver.

Awesome.
Posted on 2014-12-12

A very good plugin! I use it for German. The only change I made in the code is to have all files default to "X" - meaning, I have to explicitly mark an audio file if I want it imported to the current card.

Really great, saves a ton of time.

Forvo
Posted on 2014-11-15

This is great but please add forvo, it is one of the best sources for native audio for many languages out there.

Default dictionary option
Posted on 2014-10-25

This is a godsend! thank you very much. Please add the ability to select a default dictionary to download from.

Great
Posted on 2014-10-02

I love this one sooo much, but Collins French Dictionary has just stopped working. It would be nice to hear audio files from Larousse.

Brillant but just one thing to be PERFECT
Posted on 2014-03-23

Thank you so much for having created this add-on.
BUT the best would be to add theses links for British English : http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/
AND http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english

Then, would it be possible to choose by deflaut the dictionnary database from which I want to download my files. Or having codes (like "pt" for Portuguese or "fr" for French) like "mm" for McMillan, "ob" for Oxford British, "oa" for Oxford American, and the "pt", fr", "es" etc. for the google voice languages ?

Thanks a million again for your work !

Doesn't work really
Posted on 2014-02-18

Well, it DID work for ONE day, and even then it wasn't using any sources except of google translate for most of the notes. Next day it stopped to download stuff at all...

Useful app
Posted on 2014-01-04

Thank you. Please, could you add a search voiced words site - www.forvo.com

Fantastyczny dodatek !

とくに、日本語の発音があるウェブサイトに沢山ダウンロード出来ます！とても役に立ちます！ありがとうございます。

fantastic add-on
Posted on 2013-05-27

There are many options, you can choose audio from different dictionaries or Google TTS as a last resort. I recommend...
Well done :)

Works well

This is an awesome plugin, perfect for my Japanese vocabulary decks.
Keep up the good work!

nice addon
Posted on 2013-01-04

this addon is very useful, but since today audio files from japanesepod101 doesn't found,
maybe they'll have changed the url or something else.

I've open an issue on github because japanesepod audio files.
