Scans configured Anki fields to match mined Japanese words against the JPDB top 10k by word and reading, showing coverage, rank-band progress, searchable list, and manual known/mined marks.
Automatically fills Japanese vocabulary and sentence flashcards from a typed word or sentence, adding translations, kana readings, kanji readings, transitivity, part-of-speech, offline dictionary lookups, and Google TTS audio.
Displays Heisig RTK keywords and, optionally via KanjiVocab, related vocabulary containing the same kanji on sentence and vocabulary cards, with in-Anki configuration and card styling options.
Auto-generates Japanese vocabulary notecards from a word list via the Jisho.org API, including definitions, readings, JLPT level, kanji explanations, furigana and example sentences, placed in a custom deck.
Displays kanji stroke order in Jisho's visual style when hovering Japanese characters, for configured note types, with customizable styling.
Adds Japanese vocabulary to kanji-writing cards using known words from other decks, prioritizing common words, hiding target kanji, and saving results in fields for syncing.
Version 1.0.2
JapaneseMining helps you turn Japanese sentences into clear Anki cards, while keeping your RTK (Heisig) progress in view.
Paste or type an example sentence, translate it if you like, click a word token into the Word field, and fill the rest with Jisho. The add-on tracks which kanji you already know from your RTK deck, shows a heat map of your strength, and can optionally add audio through HyperTTS.
Your mining cards stay personal: Heisig keywords are written onto the note, extra dictionary meanings appear when you hover a kanji, and the dots in the top-right corner show whether the word is usually written in kanji or kana, and whether you already know every kanji in it. As you study RTK, those cards grow with you. After a session, the add-on can also show which mined cards became fully known.
Open Settings → Help for the full workflow, field overview, and troubleshooting.
Mining note
Keywords from your RTK deck appear on the card. If you change a keyword, that is reflected in your cards. Hover a kanji for extra dictionary meanings. The dots in the top-right corner show whether the word is usually written with kanji or kana, and whether you know all of its kanji. Cards stay aligned with your progress as you study.
RTK note
Each RTK card centers on the Heisig keyword. Beyond that keyword, the note can also show additional kanji meanings of the kind you would find on Jisho.
Kanji heat map
When you mine a word that contains kanji missing from your RTK deck, those kanji are added automatically. The mapped RTK deck is the source of truth for learned status, which is why backups matter: the add-on can keep automatic snapshots of that deck.
Today’s Progress
See the words you mined today, the kanji that moved out of “new,” and the mining cards whose kanji all became known after you studied.
Jisho
Search word definitions on Jisho
Desktop Anki (tested on 25.09). DeepL needs an API key. Audio needs the separate HyperTTS add-on and an Advanced-mode preset.
Jisho support is based on code from Anki Jisho Connect (MIT). If you already use that add-on on its own, disable Jisho here to avoid conflicts.

I actively work on bugs and feedback — please reach out.
Note: Before implementing new features, I will redesign the codebase, which will take some time. However, reported bugs will be addressed promptly.

Anki add-on for Japanese sentence mining.
Mine words from real sentences, keep track of which kanji you already know (via Remembering the Kanji / Heisig), fill dictionary data from Jisho, translate example sentences with DeepL, and optionally generate audio with HyperTTS — all from inside Anki.

Config is stored per Anki profile. The add-on is careful about surviving note-type renames where possible.
This is the first public version. Expect rough edges.
