Originally this add-on was for reminding you of RTK meanings on your vocab/sentence cards. Eventually that stops being useful though, as you should just associate the kanji with other words with the kanji, to get a feel for it. This add-on can do both of these things. These docs cover everything about the add-on Readme. If you need help, ask on my discord.

2025-02-15 Updated to support QT6 versions of Anki
2022-12-15 User configuration is now done from inside the Anki add-on config menu (no more messing with files). Added ability to create a new card in the source deck when a kanji from the expression field of the review deck isn’t found. Minor visual changes
As seen on my Patreon post, which outlines the 2.1 functionality additions: Re:booting the kanji high level guide

Edit: If you have problems with the new version, hopefully this document can help (there’s images too)

This add-on is exactly what I have been looking for and it works perfectly, but only if you exactly follow the instructions from the add-on page. I love that it takes my modified Heist keywords from my kanji deck and not just a hardcoded list. Comment from author Glad this worked for you. I do have some updates I should push to modernize this add-on a bit. No one had used it in so long besides me I didn’t think it would be worth the trouble!

I don’t know whether to rate this good or bad.
Finally managed to get this working after like 30 minutes, the documentation is not updated.
I’m not sure how many Anki users will be able to implement this, well at least it exists.

It doesn’t work. Thought the answer might be in the documentation — I was wrong.
I’m still not sure it’s supposed to do. Comment from author Thanks for the feedback - the add-on & documentation has been completely revamped

Works great!
This is to help others having problems.
Edit the file “Heisigs_Remembering_the_Kanji-_Add_Heisigs_keywords_and_link_stories.py” and find the variables at the top of the file.
This is mine:
srcFields = [‘Expression’] - This is the field with the Japanese text (for example a sub2srs deck & field)
dstFields = [‘2LeadingMeaning’] - This is where the RTK Keywords will end up. From for example a sub2srs deck and field.
rtkModel = ‘Japanese NihongoShark.com: Kanji’

I was getting the same error as everyone else: after intalling this add on, I couldn’t open the Browser to bulk-add Keywords to my deck, it caused a crash. I assumed it was broken & uninstalled. It turns out, I’m an idiot, and bad at reading directions. To use this add-on, you need TWO DECKS: the deck you want to add RTK keywords to with this add-on, and a “dictionary” deck with Kanji and Keywords for this add-on to pull from. So make sure you 1) download and 2) import the Kanji Deck from the de

I am a mac user and it didn’t work for me. When I clicked ‘browse’ an error code came up. Looked like an awesome add-on though. Please backup your deck before trying this!
