Backfills Japanese vocabulary notes with example sentences, screenshots, audio and translations from Nadeshiko, Immersion Kit or local Aobana sources, either deck-wide, for selected notes, or by hotkey while reviewing.
Adds images, audio, and sentences to Anki notes using Yahoo image search, legacy Google Custom Search, Nadeshiko, and Gemini image generation, with configurable settings and review hotkeys.
Adds Tatoeba example sentences, translations, and native-speaker audio to Japanese flashcards, either one card at a time or through fast batch deck processing.
Automatically translates example sentences and target words on newly created Yomitan cards into a chosen language via Google Gemini, filling the SentenceTranslation field in the background without blocking card creation.
Sorts new cards using Yomitan frequency dictionaries, with toggleable dictionaries, multiple averaging methods, optional backfilling, review-time frequency display, startup sorting, and occurrence-based filtering.
Generates AI-assisted text and Edge TTS audio from Anki note fields using configurable OpenAI-compatible providers, with prompt templates, batch processing, and optional image OCR input.
Anki add-on to backfill fields including media and audio using Yomitan's API
Create a Backup of your profile/deck before doing any of these steps
Make sure your Browser is running and the API is working.
Run on deck
Tools -> Backfill from Yomitan in the top bar.Deck dropdownRun on select cards
BrowseEdit -> Backfill from Yomitan in the top bar of the card browser.General Steps
Expression Field choose the expression field (e.g. Expression in Lapis) of your note type, this is the field that will be queried into Yomitan.Reading Field (e.g. ExpressionReading in Lapis) to differentiate expressions using their reading. If left blank, the add-on uses the first result Yomitan returns.Field choose the field to backfilled.Handlebar type in the Yomitan handlebar, from which you wish to pull data from (e.g. frequency-harmonic-rank). You can concatenate multiple handlebars using a , (e.g. single-glossary-jmdict-2025-08-08,single-glossary-デジタル大辞泉)Replace if you wish to replace the current content of the field in every card.Run.You can cancel backfilling by pressing on the close button of the processing popup. Changes can be undone with Edit -> Undo or with CTRL + Z.
Depending on the dictionaries, backfilling can cause a large amount of inline css to be added to your cards. You can use the Inline CSS Cleanup addon to reduce your collection size.
You can backfill multiple fields using a .json preset. Presets are stored in the user_files folder in the addon directory. An example for Lapis is included and can be found here.
Format:
{
"targets": {
"FieldName": {
"handlebar": "{handlebar}",
"replace": true
},
"FieldName2": {
"handlebar": "{handlebar2},{handlebar3}",
"replace": false
},
...
}
}
handlebar and replace behave identically to above.
Make sure every handlebar in the preset is a valid handlebar in Yomitan. Otherwise backfilling will fail, because all handlebars are requested in a single API call. For the included Lapis preset, this means adjusting the MainDefinition handlebar to the one matching your preferred dictionary.
Tools -> Add-ons -> backfill-anki-yomitan -> Config
max_entries
Default: 4
Amount of entries to request when Reading Field is specified.
reading_handlebar
Default: reading
Handlebar used to compare against Reading Field.
yomitan_api_ip
Default: 127.0.0.1
yomitan_api_port
Default: 19633
yomitan_api_timeout
Default: 10
If you're backfilling audio, please be aware that retrieving audio, depending on the audio sources configured in Yomitan, can be quite slow. You can reduce the time by decreasing max_entries in the config.
If you encounter any issues, please report them on GitHub or in the add-on's TMW #resources-sharing thread. Please attach the backfill-log.log file, which can be found in the add-on's user_files directory.
