Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.
Shows popup kanji entries from an RTK deck for highlighted text or the current card's first field via hotkey, supports keyword lookup, and finds other words containing the same kanji.
Looks up definitions of selected words and phrases during review via the macOS dictionary, opened with Cmd+D instead of a context menu.
Pronounces highlighted words or phrases during Anki reviews using Merriam-Webster and Google TTS across 27 languages, triggered by a floating button, hotkey, or automatic playback.
Shows an instant popup dictionary when you select English words during Anki review, with Portuguese (BR) translation, definitions, phonetics, audio pronunciation, synonyms, and offline caching.
Streamlines language learning with global-hotkey dictionary lookups, automatic deconjugation, frequency data, and quick export of definitions and audio to Anki cards.
Adds hoverable Wikipedia tooltips with definitions and images to underlined terms in flashcards during review, with configurable language, appearance, class targeting, and blocked-word lists.
This is the official beta for the Pop-up Dictionary add-on. Pop-up Dictionary allows you to quickly draw up related facts from your card collection, just by double-clicking on words or phrases: 
USAGE Simply double-click a word or phrase on your card to draw up a pop-up of related information. Alternatively you can also highlight a phrase and then use the Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+D hotkey to invoke the pop-up. To look up multiple words, either use the hotkey, or double click on one word and then drag your mouse until the rest of the phrase is highlighted. You can look up terms within pop-ups as well, and go as deep as you want with that (pop-up-ception :) ).
CONFIGURATION There are a number of options you can customize in the add-on's config file. On Anki 2.1 you can simply head to Tools → Add-ons → Pop-up Dictionary → Config to update the config values. On Anki 2.0 you will have to manually edit the meta.json file instead. All config values are documented in the config. md file which will automatically be shown next to the config screen on Anki 2.1. I'm planning on adding a graphical options menu for the stable release.
HELP AND SUPPORT
Please do not use reviews for bug reports or support requests. I don't get notified of your reviews, and properly troubleshooting an issue through them is nearly impossible. Instead, please either use the issue tracker (preferred), add-on support forums, or just message me at
