@ -4,6 +4,8 @@ A while ago I started working on an [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/) plugin in an att
encountered when trying to read Japanese books on my computer. Yomichan is the result of my efforts and makes Japanese
sentence/vocabulary mining trivial.
## Motivation ##
The software I was using for mining up to now was [Rikaichan](http://www.polarcloud.com/rikaichan/). I'm sure most
people studying the Japanese language are familiar with this browser extension and probably have it installed in
Firefox. Although pretty amazing, this tool is bound to Firefox. Firefox is obviously not a book reader: it doesn't

integration with Anki. As such, adding new vocab to my Anki deck was annoying; I wanted to be able to do this with one
mouse click. After several hours of work, Yomichan could do this and much more.
Yomichan can be downloaded from the its [Anki shared addon page](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/934748696) or the
[Yomichan page on GitHub](https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/). There is an automatic update checker included in the
plugin that (unless you disabled it in options) will notify you when new versions become available.

## Importing Vocabulary ##
### Importing Vocabulary ###
Yomichan is capable of importing vocabulary lists from plain text files and the vocabulary deck database the [Amazon
Kindle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindle) automatically generates when you look up words in the built-in dictionary
(this file can be found as `/system/vocabulary/vocab.db`). Note that importing does not create flash cards
automatically, but rather outputs the contents of the file to the Vocabulary and Kanji panes so that you can add facts
the same way as when reading within Yomichan.
