Anki

Kimochi adds cards to Anki through the AnkiConnect add-on. Anki has to be running with AnkiConnect installed; Kimochi talks to it on this computer (http://127.0.0.1:8765 by default).

How you set it up depends on your dictionary engine:

Engine Where cards are set up
Built-in Yomitan Yomitan’s own Anki settings: Settings → Dictionary → Open Built-in Yomitan settings → Anki. Its pop-up has the add buttons.
Hachidori Hachidori’s settings (through AnkiConnect).
10ten No Anki mining.
Yomitan API Kimochi’s own card builder, below.

With the Yomitan API engine, Kimochi builds the cards itself. In Settings → Dictionary → Anki:

AnkiConnect URL http://127.0.0.1:8765 Test checks that Anki answers.
Deck / Note type — Where cards go, and which note type they use.
Tags super-texthooker Comma-separated, added to every card.
Import from Yomitan — Reads the deck, note type, tags and field mappings from a Yomitan settings export.
Field mapping — For each field of the note type: a Yomitan marker, (sentence), or literal text.

The markers are expression, reading, glossary, dictionary, frequencies, pitch-accents, part-of-speech, tags, conjugation, audio, sentence and sentence-furigana.

In the pop-up, Add to Anki turns into Added (click to open the card in Anki), or In Anki when the word is already in your deck. If Anki isn’t running you’ll see Anki not running.

Settings → Log → Reset Log settings resets the Anki setup along with the other Log, Sources, Dictionary and AI options.
