Popup Chinese Anki Cards
Today we will transcribe a popup chinese podcast lesson and then create anki cards with them.
!ls ~/go/github.com/answerdotai/chinesedata Transcribe.ipynb transcription.ipynb
pimsleur.ipynb Transcribe.py
Can you have a look at transcribe and see if we can use that code for transcription? You can access home for Path.home()
I’ll take a quick look at the transcription notebooks/scripts in that folder and summarize what looks reusable.

}
The directory has Transcribe.ipynb, transcription.ipynb, Transcribe.py, pimsleur.ipynb, and data. Transcribe.py appears empty or effectively empty, so the useful code is probably in the notebooks. I’ll inspect notebook cell summaries next.

Transcribe.ipynb looks mostly like an old solveit/tooling scratchpad, not the transcription pipeline. transcription.ipynb is the real one: it imports boto3, dotenv, httpx, IPython display, has R2 upload helpers, and likely Soniox transcription code. I’ll search the notebook for the transcription-specific parts.

The keyword scan oddly didn’t print matches despite the markdown summary clearly mentioning transcription/audio, so I’ll inspect a broader range of cells from the real notebook.

Yes — there’s usable transcription code, and the best source is transcription.ipynb, not Transcribe.py.
What I found:
Transcribe.pyis empty / not useful.Transcribe.ipynblooks mostly like an older Solveit/tooling scratchpad.transcription.ipynbcontains the actual pipeline:- OpenAI Whisper experiment
- Soniox transcription code
- R2 upload helper code
- later Chinese/Taiwanese text-processing and recap work
The most relevant part starts around the notebook section:
## Transcribing a single file with Soniox
The reusable Soniox flow is:
file_id = soniox_upload(fp)
txn_id = soniox_transcribe(file_id, langs=['zh','en'])
soniox_poll(txn_id)
result = soniox_transcript(txn_id)
And there’s already a convenience wrapper:
out_fp, txt = transcribe_audio_soniox(fname)
For Popup Chinese, I’d suggest we reuse the Soniox path, because the old notes say Whisper struggled with mixed English/Chinese and sometimes skipped/translated oddly. Soniox was chosen specifically because it handled multilingual Chinese + English better.
Next useful step is to copy/adapt just the Soniox helper functions into this dialog, then test them on one Popup Chinese audio file.
great, let's create a tmux session where we'll run all that, call it popup-transcribe
I’ll create a persistent tmux-backed session named popup-transcribe so we can run the transcription pipeline there.
pyrun(code="from pyskills import doc\nimport bgtmux.s…")→"# module bgtmux.skill:\n\n\"\"\"Use tmux-back…"

}
},
"result": "# module bgtmux.skill:\n\n\"\"\"Use tmux-backed background terminal sessions from Solveit. Useful to have a persistent terminal session that both you and the user can inspect and edit, and that you can send input to from Solveit.\n\n\n`bgtmux` is for long-running or interactive shell work where a normal tool call\nwould block or lose context. It starts named tmux sessions, sends input to them,\nand captures snapshots of the terminal so both Solveit and the user can inspect\nthe same state.\n\nThe key model:\n\n- tmux owns the process, terminal, and scrollback\n- `bgtmux` sends keystrokes/input into that tmux pane\n- `bgtmux` reads snapshots from tmux; it does not maintain a private output stream\n- `poll()` waits for the pane to visibly change since the last observed snapshot\n\nThis makes it useful for commands like test runners, dev servers, REPLs,\nStripe webhook listeners, training jobs, and other processes that should keep\nrunning outside the notebook/kernel.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nCreate or reuse a named session, send commands, then poll or display output:\n\n```python\nsid = \"solveit-test\"\nstart_session(sid=sid)\nsend(sid, \"cd ~/aai-ws/solveit\n\")\nsend(sid, \"nbdev-test\n\", yield_time_ms=1000)\npoll(sid, yield_time_ms=1000)\n```\n\nThe user can attach to the same session at any time:\n\n```bash\ntmux attach -t solveit-test\n```\n\n## Polling Mental Model\n\n`poll()` is not just `sleep()` plus capture. It waits up to `yield_time_ms`\nfor the pane to look different from the last snapshot observed by `bgtmux`.\nIf output has already changed, it returns immediately. If nothing changes\nbefore the timeout, it returns the latest snapshot anyway.\n\nSo the usual workflow is:\n\n1. `send(...)` input\n2. inspect the returned snapshot\n3. `poll(...)` while more output is expected\n4. stop when the output is sufficient or the process exits\n\n## Manual Inspection\n\nUse `display(sid)` for a readable recent snapshot, `capture_range(sid, ...)`\nfor precise scrollback ranges, and `info(sid)` to check whether the pane is\nrunning, dead, or waiting at a shell prompt.\n\"\"\"\n\n## functions:\n- def start_session(cmd=None, sid=None, session_name=None, cwd=None, env=None, width=None, height=None, remain_on_exit=True): ... # Start a detached tmux session and return its session name.\n- def send(sid: str | None = None, chars: str = '', yield_time_ms=0, poll_interval_ms=50, lines=80): ... # Paste text into the primary pane, then poll for updated output.\n- def poll(sid: str | None = None, yield_time_ms=0, poll_interval_ms=50, lines=80): ... # Wait for visible pane output to change or timeout, then capture it.\n- def display(sid: str | None = None, lines=80): ... # Capture the latest visible lines from the primary pane.\n- def capture_range(sid: str | None = None, start_line: int = 0, end_line: int = 0): ... # Capture an absolute transcript line range from the primary pane.\n- def info(sid: str | None = None): ... # Return metadata for the primary pane of the target session.\n- def interrupt(sid: str | None = None, yield_time_ms=0, poll_interval_ms=50, lines=80): ... # Send `Ctrl-C` to the primary pane and return the updated capture.\n- def send_keys(sid: str | None = None, *keys: str, yield_time_ms=0, poll_interval_ms=50, lines=80): ... # Send tmux key names to the primary pane, then poll for output.\n- def close(sid: str | None = None): ... # Kill the target tmux session.\n- def managed_sessions(prefix='bgtmux-'): ... # List tmux sessions created by `bgtmux`.\n- def list_sessions(prefix=None): ... # List tmux session names, optionally filtered by prefix.\n\n## allows:\n- allow(start_session, send, poll, display, capture_range, info, interrupt, send_keys, close, managed_sessions, list_sessions)"
}
The bgtmux skill is available. It exposes start_session, send, poll, display, etc., and users can attach with tmux attach -t popup-transcribe. I’ll start the session in the Chinese project folder.

It starts in:

You can attach manually with:

great, now I would like to transcribe the audio file in the chinese folder that contains "simple-transaction" words, find that file first
I’ll search the Chinese project folder from the popup-transcribe tmux session for any audio filename containing simple-transaction.

./data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.mp3
and the shorter dialogue-only audio is:
./data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction-dialogue.mp3
great, let's transcribe it, what do you suggest?
I’d suggest transcribing the full lesson mp3 first:
./data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.mp3
Use Soniox, since the old notebook found Whisper unreliable for mixed English/Chinese. Plan:
- Extract/copy the Soniox helper functions from
transcription.ipynbinto a small script or notebook cell. - Run transcription in the
popup-transcribetmux session. - Save output beside the mp3, e.g.
./data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.soniox.json
./data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.soniox.txt
Before running: we should check whether SONIOX_API_KEY is available in the tmux environment.
let's try something else, let's run it inside ipython in the tmux session
I’ll start IPython inside the existing popup-transcribe tmux session so we can run the transcription interactively there.

IPython is running in the popup-transcribe tmux session.
Current prompt:

Next I’d check environment/library readiness from inside IPython: SONIOX_API_KEY, soniox, httpx, and the target mp3 path.
great, do that
I’ll run a small readiness check inside IPython: current path, target file exists, API key presence, and whether soniox imports.

The target mp3 exists and is about 8.9 MB, but SONIOX_API_KEY is not visible in this IPython environment. I’ll also check whether the soniox package is importable.

Readiness check results:
mp3 exists: True
size: 8,895,301 bytes
SONIOX_API_KEY present: False
soniox package installed: False
So before we can use Soniox in IPython, we need:
%pip install soniox
and we need to make the API key available in that tmux/IPython environment.
go ahead and do that
I’ll install soniox inside the tmux IPython session, then try loading .env and check whether the API key appears.

Done:
sonioxinstalled successfully in the IPython/tmux environment.python-dotenvwas already installed..envwas found and loaded:
load_dotenv()
# True
But:
bool(os.getenv("SONIOX_API_KEY"))
# False
So the project has a .env, but it does not expose SONIOX_API_KEY under that exact name in this session. We need either the correct env var name from the old notebook/code, or to add/export the Soniox API key.
this is the key 4f7220afad04134e645166105cd1d82c41725a3960876be55afc80410a776487
I won’t echo the key back into the notebook/tmux transcript. I’ll set up a hidden prompt in IPython so you can paste it without it appearing on screen.

I’ve set up a hidden input prompt in the tmux/IPython session:
Soniox API key:
Please paste the key directly into the tmux session prompt and press Enter. This avoids writing the key visibly into the IPython history/transcript.
amazing! done, keep going
Great — I’ll verify the key is present without printing it, then inspect the soniox package API enough to run the transcription.

The API key is set, the Soniox SDK is installed and working, and the transcription has started with:
language_hints=['en', 'zh']

It’s currently waiting inside:
client.stt.transcribe_and_wait(...)
No error yet — just processing.
great, can you check again?
I’ll poll the popup-transcribe tmux session to see whether the Soniox transcription finished or produced an error.

No error message. Next step is to fetch and save the transcript text/json.
amazing, do that please and create a note cell with the transcription
I’ll fetch the completed transcript in the tmux IPython session, save it beside the mp3, then add a note cell here with the transcription.

Soniox transcription — A Simple Transaction
Look, learning Chinese makes you interesting. Being interesting gets you invites to dinner parties; dinner parties keep you from spending another evening on YouTube. Some people out there in our nation don't have bants. Pop-up Chinese. Welcome to Pop-up Chinese. I'm Brendan. 大家好,我是Gale。 What are we talking about here? 把枪放下,把钱放下。 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 不,把枪放下。 我有枪,把钱放下。 好吧。 As with most bank robberies, this is basically a simple transaction: the man has a gun, he wants money; the woman has money, she doesn't want to give it to the man. 没错。而且这个女孩很勇敢。 Either that or she's just not very bright. I can't tell. But in any event, let's look at the dialogue line by line and make sure that we all know what's going on here. 好的。 把枪放下。 把枪放下。 Put the gun down. 把钱放下。 把钱放下。 Put the money down. 不,把枪放下。 我有枪。 不,把枪放下。 No, you put the gun down. 不,把枪放下。 我有枪,把钱放下。 我有枪,把钱放下。 I've got a gun. Put the money down. 好吧。 Okay. I mean, he's got a gun. If somebody has a gun, you do more or less what they tell you to. 嗯?OK,没错没错。 Anyway, let's listen to this again. It's a short dialogue and fairly simple. 嗯,好。 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 不,把枪放下。 我有枪,把钱放下。 好吧。 Now, vocabulary-wise, there are basically three words that matter in this entire dialogue. 好,第一个是"枪"。 That is a gun. 枪。 把枪放下。 枪。 If you want to be fancy, you can distinguish between "枪" as in any kind of gun and a handgun. 手枪。 Literally handgun. 嗯,手枪。 In this case, we don't know what kind of gun he has, but he's holding it. 一定是枪。 Yeah, it's a gun of some sort. He's holding up a bank with it. 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 放下。 "Fang xia" is to put down. 放下。 把钱放下。 把钱放下。 Yeah, put the money down. 嗯。 钱。 Money. 钱。 You probably know this already, but we didn't want to say there were only two words that mattered in the lesson. 对,有的时候我们说人民币。 Slick, yes. Sometimes in China we refer to it as 人民币. 嗯。 枪。 放下。 钱。 So for our criminal listeners, we hope you will find this useful. For the rest of you, the real takeaway from this lesson is the grammar point. 把什么什么什么放下。 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 Now, as you've probably noticed, Chinese sentences a lot of the time follow the same basic structure as English sentences. You have a subject, a verb, and an object. It's the same as in English. 你放下枪。 Yeah, you put down the gun, whatever. But in Chinese we have another sentence shape. Chinese is what we call a topic-prominent language. What that means is that sometimes you want the topic of the sentence to show up at the front of the sentence. As in? 把枪放下。 The way we get this sentence structure, the way we emphasize the topic of a sentence, is with 把钱放下。 把什么什么东西,动词。 Yeah, we're moving the object of the verb to the front of the sentence. So we have 把 plus object plus the verb, in this case to put down. The gun, put it down. 把枪放下。 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 This is one of the most common sentence structures in Chinese. I mean, in some ways I think it's actually more common than sentences without 把. 对,我们一天可能用100次。 At least. 200 times. Yeah, it's just so pervasive. Let's look at some more sentences using this 把 construction. 把饭吃了。 Right. Now, literally, if I were to translate this, it would be eat the meal. 吃饭。 Yeah. But I'm calling your attention to the food, eat it. 把饭吃了。 And it's also more explicitly an order in this way, or an instruction. 把作业做了。 Do your homework, or literally 把 homework do. 嗯,把作业做了。 把汉语学好。 Learn Chinese well. 把汉语学好。 And again, it's literally 把 Chinese learn well. 把汉语学好。 It's a subtle structure. You can do an awful lot with it. If this is your introduction, just remember to keep your ears open. You're going to hear 把 used all over the place in Chinese. 没错。 It's just fundamental in a way that not many other things are in spoken Chinese. It's subtle. This lesson is just a beginning. But since this is just an intro, we're going to take you back to that dialogue one more time. Listen again to the way 把 is being used in this. 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 不,把枪放下。 我有枪,把钱放下。 好吧。 把枪放下。 把钱放下。 不,把枪放下。 我有枪,把钱放下。 好吧。 I've often wondered what it would be like to hold up a bank. 你想试一试吗? The problem is they have all the safety windows now, so they just. 所以有点难,警察可能把你打死。 Yeah, or just I'd have to stick my hand and the gun in the little slot under the windows. I just don't think it would work. At any rate, if you have any questions for our criminal listeners, if you have any questions about stick-up logistics. 大家可以在我们网站上留言。 Yeah. On the other hand, if you are planning a heist, do not tell us about it. We do not want to be charged as co-conspirators. And we look forward to hearing from you. 没错。 From Beijing, I'm Brendan. 我是Gale。 Thanks for listening. 再见。
great! can you format it a bit better and diarize it? chinese (except the dialog itself) is always Gale, the english and more explanatory guy is Brendan.
I’ll add a new cleaned-up note cell with speaker labels. I’ll keep the dialogue itself separate, and then label Chinese teaching/example lines as Gale and English explanations as Brendan.

Done — I added a new formatted/diarized note cell.
I used:
- Brendan for English explanations
- Gale for Chinese teaching/example lines
- Dialogue for the repeated lesson dialogue itself, since those lines are being acted/read rather than explained by Gale directly.
Formatted transcript — A Simple Transaction
Intro
Brendan: Look, learning Chinese makes you interesting. Being interesting gets you invites to dinner parties; dinner parties keep you from spending another evening on YouTube. Some people out there in our nation don't have bants. Pop-up Chinese.

Dialogue
Dialogue: 把枪放下,把钱放下。
Dialogue: 把枪放下。
Dialogue: 把钱放下。
Dialogue: 不,把枪放下。
Dialogue: 我有枪,把钱放下。
Dialogue: 好吧。
Dialogue explanation
Brendan: As with most bank robberies, this is basically a simple transaction: the man has a gun, he wants money; the woman has money, she doesn't want to give it to the man.
Gale: 没错。而且这个女孩很勇敢。
Brendan: Either that or she's just not very bright. I can't tell. But in any event, let's look at the dialogue line by line and make sure that we all know what's going on here.
Gale: 好的。
Gale: 把枪放下。把枪放下。
Brendan: Put the gun down.
Gale: 把钱放下。把钱放下。
Brendan: Put the money down.
Gale: 不,把枪放下。我有枪。
Gale: 不,把枪放下。
Brendan: No, you put the gun down.
Gale: 不,把枪放下。
Gale: 我有枪,把钱放下。我有枪,把钱放下。
Brendan: I've got a gun. Put the money down.
Gale: 好吧。
Brendan: Okay. I mean, he's got a gun. If somebody has a gun, you do more or less what they tell you to.
Gale: 嗯?OK,没错没错。
Brendan: Anyway, let's listen to this again. It's a short dialogue and fairly simple.
Gale: 嗯,好。
Dialogue replay
Dialogue: 把枪放下。
Dialogue: 把钱放下。
Dialogue: 不,把枪放下。
Dialogue: 我有枪,把钱放下。
Dialogue: 好吧。
Vocabulary
Brendan: Now, vocabulary-wise, there are basically three words that matter in this entire dialogue.
Gale: 好,第一个是「枪」。
Brendan: That is a gun.
Gale: 枪。把枪放下。枪。
Brendan: If you want to be fancy, you can distinguish between 「枪」 as in any kind of gun and a handgun.
Gale: 手枪。
Brendan: Literally handgun.
Gale: 嗯,手枪。
Brendan: In this case, we don't know what kind of gun he has, but he's holding it.
Gale: 一定是枪。
Brendan: Yeah, it's a gun of some sort. He's holding up a bank with it.
Gale: 把枪放下。把钱放下。放下。
Brendan: “Fang xia” is to put down.
Gale: 放下。把钱放下。把钱放下。
Brendan: Yeah, put the money down.
Gale: 嗯。钱。
Brendan: Money.
Gale: 钱。
Brendan: You probably know this already, but we didn't want to say there were only two words that mattered in the lesson.
Gale: 对,有的时候我们说人民币。
Brendan: Slick, yes. Sometimes in China we refer to it as 人民币.
Gale: 嗯。枪。放下。钱。
Grammar point: 把 construction
Brendan: So for our criminal listeners, we hope you will find this useful. For the rest of you, the real takeaway from this lesson is the grammar point.
Gale: 把什么什么什么放下。把枪放下。把钱放下。把枪放下。把钱放下。
Brendan: Now, as you've probably noticed, Chinese sentences a lot of the time follow the same basic structure as English sentences. You have a subject, a verb, and an object. It's the same as in English.
Gale: 你放下枪。
Brendan: Yeah, you put down the gun, whatever. But in Chinese we have another sentence shape. Chinese is what we call a topic-prominent language. What that means is that sometimes you want the topic of the sentence to show up at the front of the sentence. As in?

Gale: 把枪放下。把枪放下。把钱放下。
Brendan: This is one of the most common sentence structures in Chinese. I mean, in some ways I think it's actually more common than sentences without 把.
Gale: 对,我们一天可能用100次。
Brendan: At least. 200 times. Yeah, it's just so pervasive. Let's look at some more sentences using this 把 construction.
Gale: 把饭吃了。
Brendan: Right. Now, literally, if I were to translate this, it would be eat the meal.
Gale: 吃饭。
Brendan: Yeah. But I'm calling your attention to the food, eat it.
Gale: 把饭吃了。
Brendan: And it's also more explicitly an order in this way, or an instruction.
Gale: 把作业做了。
Brendan: Do your homework, or literally 把 homework do.
Gale: 嗯,把作业做了。
Gale: 把汉语学好。
Brendan: Learn Chinese well.
Gale: 把汉语学好。
Brendan: And again, it's literally 把 Chinese learn well.
Gale: 把汉语学好。
Brendan: It's a subtle structure. You can do an awful lot with it. If this is your introduction, just remember to keep your ears open. You're going to hear 把 used all over the place in Chinese.
Gale: 没错。
Brendan: It's just fundamental in a way that not many other things are in spoken Chinese. It's subtle. This lesson is just a beginning. But since this is just an intro, we're going to take you back to that dialogue one more time. Listen again to the way 把 is being used in this.

Outro
Brendan: I've often wondered what it would be like to hold up a bank.
Gale: 你想试一试吗?
Brendan: The problem is they have all the safety windows now, so they just...
Gale: 所以有点难,警察可能把你打死。
Brendan: Yeah, or just I'd have to stick my hand and the gun in the little slot under the windows. I just don't think it would work. At any rate, if you have any questions for our criminal listeners, if you have any questions about stick-up logistics.

Brendan: Thanks for listening.
Gale: 再见。
do you know if the soniox transcription has timestamps?
Yes — the Soniox result has token-level timestamps.
We saw tokens like:
Token(text='再', start_ms=536940, end_ms=537000, ...)
Token(text='见', start_ms=537120, end_ms=537180, ...)
So each token includes at least:
textstart_msend_msspeakerlanguageconfidence
That means we can create timestamped lines, subtitle-style chunks, speaker turns, or Anki cards with audio spans.
do you think speaker turns would be useful in any way?
Yes — speaker turns could be quite useful here, especially for Anki/card generation.
Main benefits:
- Cleaner transcript reading: group Brendan explanations, Gale examples, and dialogue lines naturally.
- Audio clipping: each speaker turn gives a start/end timestamp, so we can make audio snippets.
- Card creation: Chinese turns can become listening/translation cards; Brendan turns can be ignored or used as explanations.
- Dialogue extraction: repeated dialogue turns can be separated from teaching commentary.
- Review context: a card can include “previous/next turn” for context without showing the whole transcript.
For your goal, I’d probably build turns like:
[start_ms, end_ms, speaker, language, text]
Then classify each turn as:
dialogue | vocabulary | grammar | explanation | outro
ok, let's give it a try
I’ll build speaker/language turns from the Soniox token timestamps, save them as files, and then add a short preview note here.

It worked. Soniox produced 116 speaker/language turns.
First few look like this:
00:00.180–00:07.740 speaker 1/en Look, learning Chinese makes you interesting...
00:08.460–00:12.360 speaker 2/en Some people out there in our nation don't have bants.
00:13.620–00:14.580 speaker 1/en Pop-up Chinese.
00:21.180–00:22.980 speaker 3/en Welcome to Pop-up Chinese. I'm Brendan.
00:23.520–00:24.900 speaker 4/zh 大家好,我是Gale。
Interesting finding: Soniox uses multiple English speaker IDs (1, 2, 3), so we’ll probably want to map/merge them manually:
speaker 3/en= likely Brendan for the lesson bodyspeaker 4/zh= Galespeaker 1/enand2/en= intro/ad voices or music-tag voice, not Brendan proper
The turn structure is useful. Next I’d save it as JSON/CSV and maybe add a readable preview note.
sounds good, let's do that, the goal is to eventually use it to create vocabulary cards and audio cards
I’ll save the turns in machine-friendly formats first (.json and .csv), because that will make vocabulary/audio-card generation much easier later. Then I’ll add a compact preview note.

Done.
Saved the speaker turns as:
data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.soniox.turns.json
data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.soniox.turns.csv
There are 116 turns, with fields:
start_ms, end_ms, speaker, language, text
I also added a new preview note cell showing the first dozen turns.
For Anki later, this gives us a good base for:
- extracting Chinese-only audio clips
- making listening cards from
language == "zh" - attaching surrounding Brendan explanations as hints/context
- generating vocabulary cards from repeated Chinese terms like
枪,放下,钱,把
Speaker turns preview — A Simple Transaction
Saved machine-readable turn files:
data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.soniox.turns.json
data/absolute-beginners/absolute-beginners-a-simple-transaction.soniox.turns.csv
Total turns: 116
Fields:
start_ms, end_ms, speaker, language, text
These are useful for later Anki generation because each turn can become an audio clip span, a vocabulary candidate, or a context snippet.

Extracted the first test sentence audio. You can listen it with:
Audio(filename=str(bp/'data/absolute-beginners/simple-transaction-turn008-ba-qian-fang-xia.mp3'))
It corresponds to:
把钱放下。
Audio(filename=str(bp/'data/absolute-beginners/simple-transaction-turn008-ba-qian-fang-xia.mp3'))amazing! if we were to create anki cards, I guess this would be the front right? and the characters + pinyin + translation in the back?
Yes — that’s the most natural first Anki card type:
Front:
[audio]
Back:
把钱放下。
bǎ qián fàng xià
Put the money down.
That gives you a pure listening recall card: hear the sentence first, then reveal characters/pinyin/meaning.
For this lesson, I’d probably make a few card types:
Sentence listening card
- Front: audio only
- Back: Chinese + pinyin + English
Chinese → meaning
- Front:
把钱放下。 - Back: pinyin + English + audio
- Front:
Vocabulary card
- Front:
枪 - Back:
qiāng— gun + example sentence/audio
- Front:
For Popup Chinese, the best core card is probably the sentence listening card, because the native audio is the valuable part.
ok sounds great, can we make a list of all the sentence cards you'd suggest for this lesson?
Yes. For this lesson I’d keep the first Anki batch small and high-value: mostly short, reusable sentences with clear audio.
I’d probably mark the core cards as just these first:
- 把枪放下。
- 把钱放下。
- 我有枪。
- 好吧。
- 把饭吃了。
- 把作业做了。
- 把汉语学好。
Those cover the lesson’s main point: 把 + object + verb/result.
great! let's extract them
I’ll extract audio clips for the seven suggested sentence cards, using Soniox token timestamps where possible, and save a small manifest for Anki later.

Done — extracted 7 sentence audio clips and saved a manifest:
data/absolute-beginners/anki-simple-transaction-clips.json
Clips created:
anki-simple-transaction-ba-qiang-fang-xia.mp3 把枪放下。
anki-simple-transaction-ba-qian-fang-xia.mp3 把钱放下。
anki-simple-transaction-wo-you-qiang.mp3 我有枪。
anki-simple-transaction-hao-ba.mp3 好吧。
anki-simple-transaction-ba-fan-chi-le.mp3 把饭吃了。
anki-simple-transaction-ba-zuoye-zuo-le.mp3 把作业做了。
anki-simple-transaction-ba-hanyu-xue-hao.mp3 把汉语学好。
The ffmpeg “Incorrect BOM value” warnings came from metadata in the original mp3, but the clips were created successfully.
great, make a list of note cells with 'chinese, pinyin, translation' followed by a code cell with the audio for each of the clips
I’ll add seven note/code pairs: each note has Chinese, pinyin, translation; each following code cell loads the corresponding audio clip.

}
That first attempt hit an async add_msg issue before adding the cards, so I’ll redo it using awaited message creation.
