Usage

From Anki main menu select "Tools -> Sõnaveeb Deck Builder". Set your preferred settings on the toolbar. Search words, and click "Add" to add them to your collection.

The toolbar contains the following settings:

  • Deck to add your Sõnaveeb cards into.
  • Note type. Out of the box it allows you to select between generating cards with translations from your language to Estonian, or from Estonian to your language, or both. But with custom note types you can have full control over which cards to generate and how they look, see more about it here.
  • Translation language.
  • Sõnaveeb Mode:
    • "Lite" gets the data from Keeleõppija Sõnaveeb. It has simpler definitions and examples, fewer lexemes, and is recommended for language learners.
    • "Advanced" gets the data from regular Sõnaveeb.

For more information about general Anki usage please refer to Anki documentation.

Development

To test the addon during development you can symlink or copy its directory directly into Anki's addon folder.

  1. Disable upstream version of this addon if installed: "Tools -> Add-ons -> Sonaveeb Integration -> Toggle Enabled"
  2. Locate Anki addon folder (addons21): "Tools -> Add-ons -> View Files".
  3. Symlink or copy anki_addon directory from the repository into the located folder (under a more descriptive name for convenience). For example, on Linux (replace the destination with the correct path):
ln -s ${PWD}/anki_addon /path/to/Anki2/addons21/sonaveeb
  1. Restart Anki. sonaveeb should appear in the list of add-ons.
