Setup

1. Must install the AnkiConnect plugin.
2. Must leave the Anki desktop application open in order for Ankiconnect to connect to it.
3. Install the unpacked Language-Learning-With-Anki extension.
4. Setup the URL (default is http://localhost:8765), deck and model values, making sure the top field of your note type has a valid field value.

Usage

Click a word to bring up the definition popup. Clicking the Anki button will send the current word and definition straight to Anki. The "RC" option, will remove the colour from the selected word

If the highlight word option is turned on then all words sent to Anki will be saved and highlighted, with this setting turned off, words will not be saved so will not be highlighted if turned back on.

When using the audio field, the extension will replay the subtitle again to collect the audio. Let the video play and wait for the success popup before doing anything else, interupting the playblack may cause a half finished audio track. Subsequent cards made with the same subtitle, will not need to recreate the audio.

1. Screenshot - an image of video taken at time when button is pressed
