@anon-fn Another user suggests that Pleco uses a more accurate parser; is it possible to use the same one, or otherwise find a more accurate parser library?

I’ve seen a number of parsing issues too. I reported a few of them but it’s not very motivating since it’s fairly time-consuming, but I don’t get any feedback when I do that. Is there a way to set up an automated feedback loop where we can correct the errors from within Anki, and then the parser automatically learns to make fewer mistakes in the future?

I think it is important to get this working really well since parsing errors contaminate the list of known words, and then when I go to make new cards, sometimes Migaku thinks I know a word I actually don’t, or vice versa, and sometimes it gives me an incorrect list of new words because one or more word boundaries were identified incorrectly.

Hi, this is happening with quite a significant portion of my example sentences, somewhere in the ballpark of 50%. It is really very inconvenient for Mandarin learners. Can you please escalate this? It seems like it shouldn’t be very hard to fix.

In this sentence (Traditional Chinese):
你有AIT護照無法配送請跟我聯絡約配送時間

約 should be yue1, not yao1

In this sentence (Traditional Chinese):
做了什麼事情？

The 事 in 事情 (shìqíng, meaning “a matter; business; circumstances; an event; an affair; an incident; an occurrence”) is getting stuck onto the end of 什麼 (shéme, meaning “what”) and leaving 情 (qíng, “feeling/emotion/passion/situation”) as a separate word.

In this sentence (traditional Chinese):

對剛到台北的外國人士來說，坐捷運的時候，在英語播音之前，會先聽到三種發音不同，卻又好像有點相似的廣播，讓他們覺得奇怪，但也很有意思。

外國人士 is made up of two words: 外國 (“wàiguó,” foreign country) and 人士 (“rénshì,” persons sharing a specified characteristic). Together it means “foreigners.” It’s getting parsed as 外國人 (“wàiguórén,” a more common word for “foreigners”) and 士 (“shì,” a surname or “member of the senior ministerial class (old)/scholar”).

@anon-fn Also in this sentence, 上 is parsed as shǎng (which means “rising tone”), but it should be parsed as shàng, which is almost always correct for this character.

@anon-fn This sentence has a second parsing error: 都會 should be parsed as “dōu huì” (two words meaning “all will be”) but is getting parsed as “dūhuì” (“city/metropolis”).

This sentence (Traditional Chinese) was parsed incorrectly:
第一次坐台北捷運的人，差不多都會被捷運上的站名廣播所吸引。

坐台北捷運 (zuò Táiběi jiéyùn) means “to take the Taipei MRT.” My flash card ended up with the word 坐台 (zuòtái) which means “to work as a hostess in a bar or KTV.”

I added a card for this sentence:

他在待命的時候接到電話，有一個小孩不小心用槍射到自己的眼睛

“小心” means “to be careful” and “不小心” is the opposite of that (“careless” perhaps?). This got parsed as “不小[bu4 xiao3;形容词]心[xin1;名词]”. “不小” got identified as a new word, but there’s no definition shown for it (because it’s not actually a word, I believe).
