# Waydict: dictionary importer
[](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/377012597)
Waydict is an open-source, free [anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) add-on that lets you import your favorite dictionary and add its definitions to notes.
## Usage
After installation, the add-on can be accessed in multiple ways.
Selecting any option will open a dialog to process all notes currently selected.
First, you should set a dictionary and a note configuration; after pressing `Start`, notes will be updated.
To access the dialog, choose one of the following options on the browser menu:
- `定` button inside note editor.
- `Add definition` action in edit menu or right-click context menu.
| Note editor | Edit Menu | Context Menu |
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:
| 
| 
### 1. Select a dictionary
At the top-right of the dialog, there's a `Browse` button that will let you select a *zip* file containing the dictionary entries.
To check if a dictionary was properly imported, use the `Preview` tab to search a word definition.
There are three text formats to choose from:
- `HTML-Full`: keep all HTML.
- `HTML-Brief`: keep only list elements, discard styles.
- `Plain-Text`: format list elements to plain text.
> [!WARNING]
> Only dictionaries on [yomitan](https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan) format are currently supported.
> To access a handful of those, please refer to yomitan [wiki](https://yomitan.wiki/dictionaries/).
### 2. Set note options
Given a selection of notes, definitions will only be added on those that match the given note configuration:
- `Note type`: target note type.
- `Source field`: field with the word to be searched.
- `Destination field`: field in which definitions will be added.
- `Overwrite destination`: overwrite destination even if it has content.
