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.
Auto-fetches Oxford Learner's Dictionaries definitions, examples, phonetics, audio, verb forms, and optional image links into Anki notes in bulk, without requiring an API key.
Generates complete Anki flashcards from a single word, filling fields with dictionary definitions, pronunciation, synonyms, examples, English-Arabic translation, and images without AI.
Fetches Merriam-Webster IPA transcriptions, including pronunciation context, into note fields via an API key configured through note type and add-on settings.
Batch download audio and pronunciation from Merriam-Webster into selected cards, though it is a half-working, unmaintained prototype incompatible with recent Anki versions.
Adds Google Dictionary pronunciations (American and British), meanings, and translations to vocabulary entries, with batch editing and configurable field targeting.
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.
AutoDefine simplifies finding definitions and pronunciations for words. Just install AutoDefine, click the blue globe (or use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+E), and see all pronunciations and definitions appear within the card instantly! Configuration options allow you to specify which field the pronunciation / definitions will be inserted in.
AutoDefine is optimized for use with an individual word/note at a time. If you want to generate many definitions at once, I recommend EasyDefine (it scales well to hundreds of words).
