Description

Anki Automatic Kanji Readings and Definitions Add-on

Welcome to my Anki add-on! This add-on provides the ability to automatically populate fields in Anki flashcards with kanji readings and definitions. The add-on utilizes JMdict (Japanese-Multilingual Dictionary) for the definition lookups. It was created primarily because I was a little annoyed that the rubytext never seemed to line up with characters properly with any of the existing addons I could find.

Plus, I didn't really get why I needed to use the internet when there's already readily available dictionaries to be downloaded.

Features

With this add-on, you can:

  • Automatically populate Anki flashcards with kanji readings and definitions.
  • Limit the number of definitions to top X number
  • Work entirely offline.
  • Updated: Now includes example sentences from the tatoeba project
  • Updated 25/01: Bulk update option now available!

References

I have used JMdict for fetching kanji readings and definitions. More information about JMdict can be found here: JMdict

Here's an example of what this addon does for a note, please note that there are no note types provided with the addon so you'll need to make your own.
