In Text Analyzer, is there a way to add the words/kanji/grammar points to a list, and having the sentences where they appear as example sentences? I know we can manually do that for each word, but I wonder if there's a more efficient way to do it since the tool already does a great job at parsing. Cheers!
Not yet, no. It would be a lot trickier, but possible. My main concerns, if and when I do this, is giving users enough freedom to filter out sentences they want/don't want via clever filtering options, as well as a way to easily add translations to everything.
Nothing is translated inside of the text analyzer, though - so it would need to have a step somewhere for them to translate it between TA and entry into a list.
Most texts that are put in are more than just "sentences", and the system is far from smart enough to filter all those out. What determines a title, for example, or an utterance inside of a [] (or do they want to actually add that into a sentence list?).
If the text has likes like
speaker a: sentence
How much work will it take for renshuu to filter all of those out into an optional category, with all of the various formats it will come in? What about sentences like "は～～"?
These are just a few off the top of my head, but I am sure I could pore through a dozen texts and find 2 dozen more examples of sentences that may be useful to some, not useful to others. So you're going to most likely want some "categories" of sentences that they can easily turn on and off, but in the end, a checkbox next to every sentence for confirmation into a list.
Compared to words, kanji, and grammar, which already have all of this info attached to it AND are atomic units, sentences are far from simple.
