Sentence Analyzer

Excited to announce the release of the Sentence Analyzer to Kanjiverse! This powerful tool allows users to search for whole sentences at once, providing detailed information about the vocabulary used in the sentence.

The standout feature of the Sentence Analyzer is its ability to display a list of the vocabulary used in the sentence with links to the word page in the dictionary. This makes it easy to look up the meanings of unfamiliar words and expand your Japanese vocabulary. Furthermore, all searched sentences will be saved in your history for future reference.

In addition, the Sentence Analyzer color-codes words based on their frequency of usage, helping users to identify the most important words in the sentence. This can be especially helpful for learners of Japanese, who may be trying to focus on the most common vocabulary.

But that's not all! The Sentence Analyzer also assigns a difficulty rating to the sentence based on its vocabulary, making it easy to gauge the level of difficulty of a given sentence.

And if you want to share a particularly interesting or challenging sentence with friends or study partners, it can be done via the share button as a dynamic or deep link. Such link can also be used in your anki deck to link back to Kanjiverse! Stay tuned for the next blog article to learn about how to harness the power of deep linking to integrate Kanjiverse with other apps.

Hope you will enjoy this first iteration of the Sentence Analyzer, more features will be added in the coming week such as automatic translation, etc.
