This project is a work-in-progress. (I pinky promise to actually finish this one)
Graphical frontend for glossing based on data from ichiran. This is a tool created to service a personal need, and may not be useful to you. Below, I laid out my personal justification for investing time into creating this tool. If you agree, then this tool may be useful for you.
Why not use MeCab, JParser, ChaSen, etc.?: In my experience ichiran is much better at segmentation, provides more metadata, and makes fewer mistakes.
Why not use rikai(kun|chan), JGlossator, Jisho?: They don't do segmentation, they're not even morphological analyzers.
Why not use DeepL, Google Translate, etc.?: I want a gloss for language learning purposes, not a translation tool.
Why not use the web frontend ichi.moe?:
- There are a number of additional features I would like to implement
- Some of these features are not possible on a web platform
- The source code is not available as of writing
- Optimally, I would like to be able to use this tool offline
- Interface and parser for ichiran-cli (implemented as
ichiran-rs) - Visual representation of segmentation
- Visual representation of gloss on term basis (tooltip)
- Auto-clipboard
- Low-barrier distribution (i.e. extract and run)
