An add-on to Anki that auto-defines words, optionally adding images. Visit ankisrs.net if you're unfamiliar with Anki and spaced repetition systems.
Only tested on Anki 2.1.x.
Note: This add-on uses Oxford Learner's Dictionaries to get definitions. Html parsing method is used, no API key required.

- Open Tools → Add-ons → AutoDefine Oxford Learner's Dictionaries → Config to adjust settings.

USE_DEFAULT_TEMPLATEenabled (default) the add-on creates a note type named AutoDefineOxfordLearnersDictionary and switches to it automatically. This note type already contains fields for the word, definition, audio, phonetics, verb forms and image, so no manual setup is required. - If you prefer to use your own note type, disable
USE_DEFAULT_TEMPLATEand set the field numbers to match your layout. Field numbers are zero‑based: the first field is0, the second is1, etc.SOURCE_FIELD– field containing the word to define.DEFINITION_FIELD,AUDIO_FIELD,PHONETICS_FIELD,VERB_FORMS_FIELD,IMAGE_FIELD– fields that will receive generated content.
