Bring in words from Anki, Shirabe Jisho, or any list. In Anki: select a deck → File → Export → format “Notes in Plain Text (.txt)”. In Shirabe Jisho: export your list as text/CSV. Upload the file or paste below — only the first column is used, extra columns are ignored.
If words show up without a meaning (or with a katakana-only reading), their dictionary lookup failed when they were saved. This re-checks every affected word against JMdict and fills in what it finds. Safe to run any time.
Tama uses FSRS — the same modern algorithm Anki recommends — to decide when each card comes back. Desired retention is how well you want to remember cards when they're due. Higher means you recall more, but review more often. Lower means fewer reviews, but you'll forget a bit more. 90% is the recommended balance.
How many due cards to load per study session. Smaller sessions feel more manageable when lots of cards pile up. When you finish a batch, you can load the next one. (1–200)
Download your entire deck as a CSV file — every word with its reading, meaning, JLPT level, and status. Opens in Excel or Google Sheets, and can be imported into Anki. Your data is yours.
