# AnkiConnect #
The AnkiConnect plugin enables external applications such as [Yomichan](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/) to communicate with Anki
over a remote API. This makes it possible to execute queries against the user's card deck, automatically create new
vocabulary and Kanji flash cards, and more.
