get the japanese audio urls for a word from jisho.org
this isn't on npmjs.com, so if you want to install it you'll need to do this:
$ npm i -g https://github.com/chee/ja
const ja = require('ja')
ja({
term: '犬',
reading: 'いぬ'
}).then(results => {
console.log(results[0])
// => http://d1vjc5dkcd3yh2.cloudfront.net/audio/10ce3f5eb7b4a9a03c4dafce2af60e28.mp3
})you can pass raw: true to get a newline separated list as
a string, instead of an array
# everything
$ ja dog

# when there are no results
$ ja pleased to meet you
$ echo $?
1in the bin directory there is also a script called jag, which is macos only
and will only really work if you have the japanese speech to text installed on
your macintosh and set up as your default speech to text.
everyone should do that and enable notification reading so she says アレルト！ ロウ バテリ！ to you. it warms.
anyway it will fetch the first word it finds for your term and optional reading as an ogg and save it, then open finder with that new file highlighted. then you can drag it into anki or burn it to cd or put it on your zip drive.
if it can't find a file for you on the interconnected network of computers, it
will create one with say(1).
thanks kyoko
interface is like:
$ jag $term $reading
# like
$ jag あれ
# now you'll have a file called あれ.ogg
# you can force it to use say by setting the env variable SAY to
# something truthy
$ SAY=下さい jag 犬it's not installed when you install this repo with npm, you'd have to download it yourself
