  4. AGAIN, restart your Anki (I know xD), then Tools > JPMN Manager > Run batch command > Paste the command below:

    empty_field AJTWordPitch

  5. In your Anki's Main Window > Browse

    • In the left side under Note Types, Click on JP Mining Note
    • Select all cards by clicking on 1 card and then Ctrl + A

  6. In the toolbar on the top left, select Edit > AJT: Bulk-generate

    • Wait for the process to finish

  7. Done! To check if the card has no problem, view a card > check if the ! icon on the top left isn't red

If you didn't update then the following features will be missing: (click here)
  • Automatically generated furigana
  • Devoiced and nasal information to pitch accents
  • Less coverage on pitch accents
