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.

Imports Wiktionary ZIM files into Anki to extract definitions, examples, and pronunciation into notes, with a reviewing-screen pop-up dictionary and content browser.
Fills empty Anki fields and generates new notes using AI language models, with previewing, field-specific instructions, context examples, and support for several providers.
Automates AI-powered vocabulary card creation with audio, translations, images, definitions, mnemonics, and progressive exercises, but requires the separately purchased companion dictionary.
Generates complete Anki flashcards from a single word, filling fields with dictionary definitions, pronunciation, synonyms, examples, English-Arabic translation, and images without AI.
