Reverso importer

Import Words From Reverso*

Description*

This is an add-on for Anki - powerful, intelligent flashcards, that makes remembering things easy via space repetition.

The add-on downloads your dictionary words from Reverso - a great free online resource to translate words- and transforms them into Anki cards. What makes Reverso very usefull is the Browser plugin that makes it absolutey no-cost to check the translation of a word. All the words you lookup while browsing the internet end up in your history in your reverso page and you can flag them with a star if you really want to remember them.

This plugin lets you import your words into anki.

Features

• import history and/or favourites
• can import all elements or just those new (so that it won't overwrite possible editing you made)
• can generate reverse card (as in the image where 25 words where found and 50 cards added to the deck**
• in the card you can click in a link to show the context

• import from your favourites lists: a selector lets you choose the list, with the last imported word tracked per list
• new Tools menu entry "Create Reverso note type" to create the note type without importing from Reverso (useful if you only want to use the note type manually)
• per-profile configuration: each Anki profile now has its own credentials and import settings, they are no longer shared between profiles
• fix: preferences were not saved when closing the plugin window

rel 2.0.0 2026-07-27*

• import reworked around Reverso lists (favourites no longer exist as such): the plugin connects as soon as you open it, shows History plus your lists in a selector and imports from the selected one
• the selected list and the last imported word of each list are remembered per Anki profile: one Reverso account can serve several profiles (e.g. one list per family member)
• the target deck is now really honoured (imports used to always end up in the 'Reverso' deck): the deck selector is always enabled and you can type a new deck name to create it
• re-importing a word no longer removes the reversed card you added with "Add reverse for selected cards"

Important Note In case of any problems please contact me on the official support page on anki forum or I won't be able to fix it.
