Usage
The core feature of the add-on is the automatic field filling. To take advantage of this, you need to have an Anki note type with the appropriate fields (e.g., Hanzi
, English
, Pinyin
, Sound
). See config.json
for a list of valid field names.
If you don't already have such a note type, the easiest approach is to use one of the built-in models. Two types are installed automatically: Basic and Advanced. The only important difference is that the Advanced model shows more information.
To use the field-filling features:
- Add a new note to Anki (press a)
- Create (manage -> add) and select
Chinese (Basic)
orChinese (Advanced)
as the note type - Enable Chinese Support 3 for this note type (click
汉字
) - Enter a word (e.g., 電話) into the
Hanzi
field (sentences will also work) - Press Tab
- The remaining fields should then be populated automatically
