Kanji Anki Deck Generator

This project automatically generates Anki decks to support studying Japanese Kanji. It's designed for learners who want to:

• Customize and generate their own Anki decks based on their study preferences.
• Download prebuilt .apkg decks and start studying immediately in Anki.

📦 Getting Started

You can either download the prebuilt decks or build your own deck using the provided scripts.

✅ Use Prebuilt Anki Decks

If you just want the ready-made Anki deck:

1. Navigate to the decks/ folder.
2. Download the latest .apkg file.
3. Import it into your Anki profile and start studying.

🛠️ Build the Project Locally

This project was developed on macOS and uses AppleScript to interact with Apple Numbers for CSV data export.

⚠️ You may need to adapt parts of the workflow if you're using Windows or Linux (e.g., switch from Apple Numbers to Excel).

Dependencies

• Python 3
• genanki
• hashlib (standard Python library)

Install required Python packages:

pip install genanki

Directory Assumptions

Run all scripts from the project root directory, due to hardcoded file paths.

📋 Step-by-Step Build Instructions

1. Export your data from Apple Numbers:

python3 scripts/export_numbers.py

2. Build the internal kanji database:

python3 scripts/db_build.py

3. Generate the Anki deck:

python3 scripts/build_deck.py
