# Yomichan #
Yomichan is an [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/) plugin built to solve the various annoyances I encountered when trying to
read Japanese books on my computer. This tool makes vocabulary mining trivial by allowing you to focus on your reading.
Yomichan can be used in conjunction with [Yomichan for Chrome](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan-chrome) to further enhance your
learning experience by enabling flash card creation from your web browser.
Yomichan is an Anki plugin built to help students of Japanese learn the language by reading native media on their
computer. This application's one-click flash card creation feature makes vocabulary mining trivial, allowing you to
focus on enjoying your reading. Yomichan can be used in conjunction with [Yomichan for
Chrome](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan-chrome) to further enhance your learning experience by enabling flash card creation from your
web browser.
## Motivation ##
## Requirements ##
For running:
* [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/)
For building:
* [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/)
* [Python 2.7](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/)
* [Qt Designer](https://www.qt.io/ide/)
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
behave well with large text files, doesn't remember where you last stopped reading, and most importantly there was no
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.
## Installation ##
Yomichan can be downloaded from the its [Anki shared addon page](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/934748696). 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. Developers can also clone the [repository on
GitHub](https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan-chrome); be aware that [Git LFS](https://git-lfs.github.com/) is required
for downloading the included Japanese data files.

AnkiConnect is a revolutionary feature which allows external applications to communicate with Anki, making it possible
to query decks and create new flash cards directly. This feature must be enabled through the preference dialog prior to
use. AnkiConnect is also available as a [separate plugin](https://foosoft.net/projects/anki-connect) for those who want to get this feature
