Japanese learners who want to build vocabulary and kanji while reading or watching media can use jpdb to look up words, kanji, and sentences, then study vocabulary with spaced-repetition reviews. The dictionary also provides example sentences and can turn pasted Japanese text into a vocabulary study list, following the order words appear in the text. Learners can study from ready-made decks based on anime, novels, visual novels, web novels, and live-action titles, or import part of an existing Anki database. jpdb tracks learned vocabulary across decks, uses it to tailor example sentences, and can suggest media based on how much of its vocabulary a learner already knows. It may suit learners who want to connect Japanese study with reading or media immersion, rather than follow a fixed course sequence.
