Anki Jiten (BETA) is a Chrome extension that captures and converts highlighted Japanese text into an Anki deck for English speakers. It allows you to easily create Anki cards from Japanese content found on websites like ebooks and news sites. The plugin translates and puts all the highlighted words into a deck, including kanji, kana, and definitions based on the EDICT dictionary file. Join the BETA to contribute and suggest improvements!

If you are interested in creating Anki cards from content you find on Japanese websites (ebooks, news sites), then this is the app for you. Go to any Japanese language website and highlight text that you don't know and would like to learn, then click the icon to activate the plugin. All the words you've highlighted will be translated and put into an Anki deck containing the kanji, kana and definition (based on the EDICT dictionary file).
Right now, the app is in BETA, so some definitions might be off. The code is open source can be found at: https://github.com/Munksey/anki-jiten. Any contributions/suggestions are welcome.

My first impression is that it's amazing at saving time in finding individual pronunciations and definitions.
