The notes include tone colors and audio files powered by the chinese-support-redux project.

You can also choose whether to add all words found, or only words containing new characters. Usage: 1. Install the addon and restart anki 2. TextScan will be added to the anki menu. Go there to open the configure or scan dialog 3. You may want to configure how the scanned words will map to your chosen note type first. If you skip this step, it will use an included default note type. 4. choose "scan file" or "scan pasted text" from the menu bar to use the scanner. 2020-06-27: updated to better support mac os, and to auto-import notes.

Reviews

I was looking for this exact type of thing a few months ago!

The copy and paste feature seems to work well, I couldn't get the "scan file" function to work (it recommended amending the code pathways, and I know nothing of coding).



The screen is slightly too large on my Windows 10, the bottom fields are obscured by my task bar. Would be nice if it were slightly smaller and/or had a scroll bar on the side to view all options.



I wish there were a function to sort entries by how common the characters/words appear, it seems like there this is already cataloged during the scan.



Thanks!!!
