Japanese Dictionary/Anki flashcard generator

searching and generating some cards

A desktop application to look up english/japanese words and create Anki flashcards.

Uses the fantastic jisho.org search api, and example sentences from the Tatoeba project.

Written in Rust, using Iced: a cross-platform GUI library focused on simplicity and type-safety. Inspired by Elm.

Development Dependencies

Ubuntu

  • libexpat1-dev
  • libfreetype6-dev
  • libfontconfig1-dev

Generating Anki flash cards

Adding a flash card

This is what I use this application for primarily. Simply click the button "Save Anki Flashcard" on the Kanji detail page.
It will create a csv file called 'japanese_words_anki_import.txt', which you can load into Anki using the import button.
You must create a "Note type" so that that the fields can be put in the right positions. I created one called Japanese Basic and it looks like this:

anki import japanese basic

See the official documentation on Anki importing at https://docs.ankiweb.net/importing.html.
