README
jpdb_anki_import
Overview
An Anki plugin that imports review history for words studied in JPDB. Currently working as of Anki 2.60.0.
This plugin imports the following information:
- Japanese spelling (e.g. θ¨θ)
- Japanese reading (e.g. γγ¨γ°)
- Review history, accomplished by simulating the same button answer responses in Anki.
There's also an experimental option to scrape your existing cards in JPDB for more information that can be enabled in the setup window. This allows importing:
- Card definitions
- Custom sentence
- Notes
This plugin does not import audio or pitch accent, but see the "Recommended Additional Plugins" section for some tips on plugins that can generate these for you!
Usage
- Download your JPDB review history by going to the settings page and clicking "Export vocabulary reviews (.json)" near the bottom of the page.
- Create a new Anki deck where you want to import your JPDB cards.
- After installing this add-on, in Anki, go to "Tools" => "Import from JPDB"
- Follow the instructions in the setup window.
