This release implements several share intent related features, a dedicated card creation mode for outside video playback and shadowing mode.

Card Creator Mode: Users will now be able to use the new Card Creator in the main menu to easily create cards outside of video playback. This is practical for users who are reading manga. In addition, users may now share links, text and images to the application. Sharing an image or text to jidoujisho will open the card creator with the appropriate media imported for the card. The card creator allows for searching of photos (via Bing) and text definitions via the same sources in video playback, with bilingual and monolingual search support.

Card Creator Exports: Exports in card creator mode have their own Anki template which can be customized. This is because users may desire a different format in their cards from those exported in normal video playback.

In the default creator template, only the image and word are present in the front of the card. The intention is that the picture replaces the sentence, and the word replaces where the sentence context usually is, with the reading and meaning shown in the back. This makes card creator mode really easy to use out from a fresh installation if reading manga and taking pictures. As always, the template can be customized in AnkiDroid, under the card type jidoujisho (Creator).

Shadowing Mode: In video playback, users may now tap the video duration to toggle shadowing mode. When the video duration is red, shadowing mode is enabled, indicating the end time of the current subtitle after which the player will seek back to the beginning of the subtitle.

System Requirements: This application has been tested by myself and other users to work on a variety of real-world devices and emulators running Android 7 and above (thanks to Hexavall). If the installation fails, try clearing enough storage space (Cheers to kekkonkinenbi for letting me know).

From video player to sentence mining multi-tool

Developer Note: I have been picking up speed with manga lately, and I noticed that I found myself looking up words when reading physical media, though unable to mine them as efficiently as I would when I watch a video on my own app. That's why I made card creator mode. Not only does it allow super easy sentence mining if you're reading, it also allows you to see images for any words that you've run into that you'd rather assign a photo to. You can also tap on the preview photo to expand and zoom on it if you easily want to use any OCR software alongside the application. Hopefully, this will help users who desire to read more!

Which file should I download?
