This is a small tool I made for quickly looking up meanings and readings of Japanese Kanji without leaving Anki.
Simply select the Kanji and a popup will display.
You can also move the popup around if it's in the inconvenient spot.
You can also adjust what information will be displayed about the Kanji, and if you want the add-on to use the internet, to fetch the kanji it doesn't know.
I fetch all the data from kanjiapi.dev. Data of all the Jōyō Kanji is bundled with the add-on. Other Kanji will be automatically fetched from the API when selected.
This is my first Anki Add-on, so if you encounter any issues make sure to report them.
This is an Anki Add-on that allows convenient access to basic information about Japanese Kanji, without leaving Anki. It comes with data about all the Jōyō Kanji already saved so you can use it offline. Other Kanji will be automatically fetched from the API when selected, and saved for future lookup (requires access to the internet).
Displayed data can be adjusted in Add-on settings.
