About jpdb

jpdb is a Japanese dictionary combined with a spaced repetition system for kanji and vocabulary. When new vocabulary is introduced, it also teaches the kanji needed to read it.

Users can paste in text to extract vocabulary in order of appearance, use prebuilt decks based on anime, novels and other media, and study with example sentences matched to words already learned. Progress is tracked across decks, and existing Anki data can be partially imported. The site is listed as beta.
