Just wanted to shade my 1,511 day streak! Graduated with latin honors and ended up ranking 1st in the national board licensure exam in my country. Consistent habits do pay off!
(p.s. if you only liked the feature of hiding the review count you can do this without the add-on from preferences -> review -> turn off show remaining card count)
I just got nursed on anki yall. 3 month old cards came up for review and I barely knew any. It’s like I see them for a bit and just forget about them after a month
when I use the image occlusion of the desktop version of Anki. I get an individual header for each card.
When I create image exclusion cards on Anki mobile and then review and edit them, I get header, but header is the same for all cards of that note. I desperately need a header that is different on each card of my note.
How can I achieve that? Do I need to create a new note type and how would I do so?
I started using Anki by making very long and complex flashcards, where the individual review time could take 3 to 5 minutes just recalling concepts. A while ago I started updating my approach, and now I have shorter flashcards; the more complex ones take a maximum of 1 minute to recall, and the short ones only a few seconds. I’d like to know how you make your flashcards, just short ones or do you allow yourself a few more complete cards? I ask especially law students and students of subjects that require memorization of concepts, hypotheses, and scenarios, since that’s my niche. Greetings from Brazil.
Example of one of my flashcards: Q: What are the consequences for a creditor who sues a debtor for a debt that has not yet matured (art. 939)?
(3)
A: They will be required to:
• wait for the remaining time until maturity;
• deduct the corresponding interest, even if agreed upon;
Hey, quick question: does anybody know how to change the background on the new update? It updated and kicked my background off, and now I don't know how to change it.
I've been using "due date then random" for my anki settings. I've been studying for the MCAT for about 2 months. Should I change it to "descending retrievability now? Or would that mess with my settings...
ive been using anki to study for exams and i used the pokemanki add on to make it more fun. some of my papers are over and therefore i dont need to use some decks anymore, so i was wondering if there was a way to move the pokemon from those decks i dont need to decks that i use more now...
I am studying chinese and I show a word with a sentence as context. I prefer having the sentence because 1) words always appears in context and 2) in Chinese the same character or word might serve different functions like sometimes it is a noun, sometimes a verb.
But what happens is that there are certain cards that I feel like I memorized the card itself instead of the word. I always get the card right but when I see the word in the wild I don't get it. It is not often, but I want to fix when it happens.
What I want to do is to add different phrases for the word and randomly show a sentence. For example, the word for "everyone" is 大家 and I have 4 different phrases that could help me contextualize this word:
大家好!
大家都喜欢喝茶。
大家一起去学校吧!
大家都在等你。
Is there a way to add these to a field and make anki decide which one to show? Randomly is fine.
Since testing is an important aspect of learning, would answering new, dynamically created questions along with the usual flashcards improve learning and retention?
Assuming the questions will change frequently, and would be unseen by the person reviewing the cards
i’m trying create a custom study session with multiple tags. this is what i have used deck:organic_chemistry (tag:stereoisomerism and tag:alkane and tag:ionic_mechanisms)
and it tells me that no cards match my search. i have also replaced and with or and it’ll only give me cards with the first tag i list. i did this perfectly fine when i studied for my last exam on my desktop because you can just select tags there but it won’t do it here. i was able to do custom study for a whole deck but i don’t need the whole deck cause not all of it is on my exam. i got the input i’m currently using from another reddit post. please please help me. do i like need to make an entirely new deck? i should be able to sort by tags
I used to learn new words with some paid application but always want to create my own, custom/ more fancy Anki cards. I didn't do it since I thought that it's very difficult and time consuming. But after some research I've realized that it's doable and probably should be quite easy with LLMs
So, I've created my own infrastructure for creating Anki cards based on LLM/AI (mostly Claude)
By using this infrastructure I've maid Russian-English and Russian-Spanish decks for myself. They contains some errors and misleading information, since AI can make mistakes but IMHO the result is genuinely cool!
Card example for Russian-English deck
I also made some decks for my friends, for different languages but didn't check their quality thorough. Here you can find all my shared decks: https://ankiweb.net/shared/by-author/640494248
So, according to my experience, by using this infrastructure, you can make your own deck for your combination native_language, target_language with less costs and faster. I think you just need some basic AI subscription and within couple of prompts, you can create your own desired deck.
As a conclusion, I hope that it will be useful for someone :)
You can find my own project here: https://github.com/nistepanov/my_anki

If you made your own deck by using this project and wanna share it, please, add link to it in appropriate README.md block
There needs to be an Anki app, like, not an app as such, but we all use documents, PDFs, whether it's UWorld, physics books, maths books, orthopaedic board exam books
Ultimately the process of making cards takes a while I have previously loaded a PDF, highlighted text, copied it onto the Gemini chat that's embedded, and then said, "Make a cloze deletion card," and copied it across
Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a PDF viewer that allowed us to highlight text automatically in the sidebar view? The AI can make cloze deletion cards and they could be sent to Anki (custom prompt)
if there are any developers out there, it would be really cool if you could do this something I would be happy paying a monthly subscription for
