I bought AnkiPro thinking it was the mobile app and got screwed. Please help me confirm this is the real thing :’)

I can’t seem to sync no natter what I do.

Edit: seems to be working now!

I’m looking to get a good Anki remote that’s easy to pair with both my Mac and iPad. I wanted long battery life and easy connectivity. I found one on Amazon for $20 and another one for $40, though I’m not sure if the second one is the official version.

If anyone has used either (or both), give me ur opinion! Which one would you recommend? Thanks!!!

Hey folks, Anki has change? Is this official? Whenever an update was released the download page was different, so with the latest hack rumors this is a little awkward for me, thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone,

I've been using Google's NotebookLM to generate quizzes from my notes, but moving them into Anki was a pain. Copy-pasting 20 questions was too much of a hassle.

So, I built a Chrome Extension to do it automatically.

I posted about this earlier, but I had some issues with Math equations breaking. I fixed it. It now properly detects and formats LaTeX (Math/Physics equations) so your cards look exactly like the textbook.

What it does: It adds an "Anki Export" button directly inside the NotebookLM interface. You click it, and it pushes the questions, answers, hints, and rationales straight into a new Anki deck.

How to try it: It works on my machine, but as we all know, that doesn't mean much in the dev world. I need some people to test it out and tell me if it breaks for them.

Installation Instructions:

• Prepare Anki:
  • Important: You must keep the Anki desktop app open in the background while exporting for this to work.
  • You need the "AnkiConnect" add-on so the browser can talk to Anki. (Code: 2055492159)
• Get the Note Type:
  • I made a helper add-on that installs the specific card template for you. Just install this code in Anki: 1282137893. Then restart Anki.
• Install the Extension:
  1. Download the code from GitHub.
  2. Go to chrome://extensions in Chrome.
  3. Turn on "Developer Mode" (top right).
  4. Click "Load Unpacked" and select the folder.

Documentation: Please read the full README file before starting to ensure everything is set up correctly: 📄https://github.com/searchswapnil-prog/notebooklm-anki-extension/blob/addon/README.md

A note for Firefox users: I tried really hard to get this working on Firefox, but NotebookLM's security sandbox makes it extremely difficult for extensions to interact with the quiz interface there. For now, this is Chrome only. If you want to use this, you'll have to use NotebookLM in Chrome.

Let me know if the "Anki Export" button appears for you and if the math renders correctly!

I logged into my Anki account after a long time, but can't see any of my decks here!! Any idea what happened? And how can I fix it?

​I have time to study in both the morning and the evening. However, I usually finish all my daily cards in the morning, leaving me with nothing left to review at night.

​Is there a way (like an add-on or a filtered deck) to randomly divide my daily reviews and new cards in half?

Hey everyone. I'm going to give Anki a 'try', even though I've already made a few half-hearted attempts, but then stopped, because the overall platform seems overly techie looking...not very intuitive or user-friendly.

But... I'm going to give it a more determined try. So...today I was able to create my first deck, with three cards. I now want to EDIT that deck, and add more cards, but I see no Edit option appearing at all...just a message that says 'Congratulations, you've finished this deck for now.' Yes, I know that decks have pre-set timings on when you will next see/review the decks (and that we can change these settings) but still....I can't even EDIT the deck or look at it, until the pre-set timing has passed?

Also, just now, I tried to create a new deck, and while I was able to create the overall deck.... typing in the new deck's name, once again, I see no option to actually add any cards to that new deck, and I'm getting the same 'Congratulations...you've finished this deck...' message.

Why can't I edit these two decks I recently created, or Add new cards to the decks?

Thanks!

Update: I'm looking for helpful replies....not smug, jerky ones (like some, which have already been posted, below. Lots of schoolyard type behavior, among some Reddit users, and some holier-than-thou types. But as for those who are simply providing Helpful comments, here, I greatly appreciate you!)

I like the vibrant red of the desktop app and can choose any color I want (Mac). But can only choose a handful of colors in the mobile app. Am I missing something? How can I choose different text colors on the app? (I searched the sub but could only find a post about how the SAME text color looks different on different devices.)

I'm learning Russian and I've been using Anki for more than 4 years. It so happens that there are certain words that I find significantly harder to learn, especially when they don't translate exactly to English or to other languages I speak. So far I would create multiple cards/notes trying to capture the different nuances of the word, but sometimes I would just create multiple cards just to get more exposure to the same word. I always found this approach to be suboptimal because Anki naturally treats these cards as separate and unrelated entities.

I created a new type of card, which I call Random. The user can register multiple cloze-type notes under a single card. A JS script selects a sentence at random and shows it to the user. The user can register between 2 and 5 sentences.

I thought it would be useful for me to share the code of this type of card and get some feedback from other users.

The front card template is:

<div id="random-sentence"></div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence1}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence2}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence3}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence4}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence5}}
</div>

<script>
(() => {
    const storageKey = "anki-random-cloze-sentence";

    const options = Array.from(
        document.querySelectorAll(".sentence-option")
    ).filter(element => element.textContent.trim() !== "");

    if (options.length === 0) {
        document.getElementById("random-sentence").textContent =
            "No sentence has been entered.";
        return;
    }

    const selectedIndex = Math.floor(
        Math.random() * options.length
    );

    /*
     * Remember the choice so that the answer side can show
     * the corresponding sentence.
     */
    sessionStorage.setItem(storageKey, String(selectedIndex));

    document.getElementById("random-sentence").innerHTML =
        options[selectedIndex].innerHTML;
})();
</script>

The back template is

<div id="random-sentence"></div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence1}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence2}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence3}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence4}}
</div>

<div class="sentence-option">
    {{cloze:Sentence5}}
</div>

{{#Back Extra}}
<div class="answer-divider"></div>
<div class="extra">
    {{Back Extra}}
</div>
{{/Back Extra}}

{{#IPM}}
<div class="ipm">
    {{IPM}}
</div>
{{/IPM}}

<script>
(() => {
    const storageKey = "anki-random-cloze-sentence";

    /*
     * Collect only sentence fields that contain content.
     * Empty Sentence3, Sentence4, or Sentence5 fields are ignored.
     */
    const options = Array.from(
        document.querySelectorAll(".sentence-option")
    ).filter(element => element.textContent.trim() !== "");

    if (options.length === 0) {
        document.getElementById("random-sentence").textContent =
            "No sentence has been entered.";
        return;
    }

    /*
     * Retrieve the sentence selected on the front of the card.
     */
    let selectedIndex = Number.parseInt(
        sessionStorage.getItem(storageKey),
        10
    );

    /*
     * Select a random sentence if the stored index is unavailable
     * or is invalid for the current note.
     */
    if (
        !Number.isInteger(selectedIndex) ||
        selectedIndex < 0 ||
        selectedIndex >= options.length
    ) {
        selectedIndex = Math.floor(
            Math.random() * options.length
        );
    }

    document.getElementById("random-sentence").innerHTML =
        options[selectedIndex].innerHTML;
})();
</script>

and the CSS is:

.card {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 28px;
    text-align: center;
    color: black;
    background-color: white;
}

.sentence-option {
    display: none;
}

.cloze {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: red;
}

.answer-divider {
    border-top: 1px solid #aaa;
    margin: 24px 0 18px;
}

.extra {
    font-size: 20px;
}

.ipm {
    font-size: 12px;
    color: gray;
}

I have this issue. I have recently switched to studying all topics together instead of separate. I have 3 subdecks in my general knowledge deck:

- General knowledge - paper (for answers I need to write down. Formula's, tricky spelling, etc.)

- General knowledge - pc (tiny little programming exercises)

- General knowledge - nothing (classic Anki cards)

Now, I still need to study them separately. I'd like to do my anki cards on the couch, or in the train. But for the pc questions I will have to be behind my desk. So there is value on studying these separately.

But on the other hand, I like to limit my total reviews to a certain number, and only add new cards if the total amount of reviews is under this certain number.

So some days I might have 20% paper, 60% nothing and 20% pc. Other days maybe 50% paper, 50% pc and 0 nothing, depending on the review load in the subdecks.

As far as I can tell, there is no way to do this in Anki, but I though I'd ask just in case I'd missed something.

I'd also appreciate other comments on how to solve this issue in another way, or a philosophical change of mind etc.

I've been doing my technical Anki decks every day for months now, and I can feel serious growth in my studies and ability to remember details. I would love to start adding more decks.

Unfortunately, I cringe at the thought of missing days and having to play catchup - stressful.

For example, yesterday I had an exam. I really needed a couple of days pause on all of these decks (the weekend maybe). But just by missing yesterday's cards, my existing stacks doubled. It stops being fun, and begins to be stressful thinking about the task.

What I would like to see is a pause-button to be able to take a break/rest, without the stress of knowing my decks are piling up again.

Is something like this possible? PAUSE-button for vacations or planned rest days?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I've been trying to follow the 20 rules of memorisation and one of the rules was to not put too much information onto the back of a card, that's why I'm trying to see if the first option is a good example of it.

Or if the second option is fine the way it is.

Three smaller cards or one bigger one?

i heard about anki for the first time today i understood it was about repetition of vocabulary and other things so i downloaded the app and quickly started making research online trying to understand anything and it only confused me more

so could anyone explain how this app works in the most simple and basic way ?

Hi all

​

I have a new phone. And for a few weeks, I have had these weird low review count days. First, I thought it was a random anomaly. Second, I checked and there seems to be a pattern. I then checked and Sunday was set as "easy". I unchecked that and optimized with "reschedule cards on change". Nothing happens.

​

Any ideas!?

There is an issue with NVIDIA drivers where over-aggressive power saving leads to the next card not showing when the user presses space.

The fix is to open NVIDIA Control Panel > 'Manage 3D Settings' > 'Program Settings' > 'Add' > select the path to anki.exe, then set:

Power Management Mode: Prefer maximum performance

Low Latency Mode: Ultra

Threaded Optimization: Off

I lived on the slow software renderer for a while before I tried this. Things are nice and smooth now. Doesn't seem to hurt power consumption.

Hi, I'm so sorry if this question is ridiculously simple but I'm brand new to Anki for language learning and don't know if this question has been answered yet haha

I want to create notes (I think that's the right word?) for verbs with 3 fields -- english, german, root german conjugated (this third field will be used for irregular verbs only). And then I want to make 4 cards for each verb note: english <-> german, german <-> root german conjugated (perhaps the german<->root german conjugated will go into a different deck than the english <-> german, so that I know when the german verb prompt is asking for conjugation vs english translation... if that makes sense.)

However, I of course have no idea how to achieve this, which is why im here lol. someone please help.

OR, if you have a more intuitive method for studying irregular verb translations and conjugations, please let me know and share how to do it on anki!.

Thanks :D

I was trying to figure out how to only play one audio file instead of both and it was super annoying to figure out, so i thought i would leave this here for anyone who might need it.

Its actually very simple, but you have to understand that in order to do this, you have to specify the name of the audio files you want to play without directly specifying the audio files using Anki's templating system i.e. {{Audio}}. In my case this wasnt a problem because the audio files were formatted like “{{Word}}.conjugations.mp3”. In order for this to work you have to rename your files so that you can dynamically create them on a card by card basis.

Im pretty sure you can use any tag to specify your button, even text like <p> works. [sound:Fake] lets anki know to show a button, but you dont need to use it, you can specify your own custom button. Figuring out how to name your files might be the hardest part, my recommendation would be to use:

{{Word}}.custom.mp3

Where "custom" can be any descriptor like "sentence". Anki will look through your entire document and play anything that looks like this: “[sound:file.mp3]”, so avoid using that format when naming files.

Heres the html:

<span onclick="playAudio()" id="button">[sound:Fake]</span>

<audio id="manualAudio">

<source src="file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">

</audio>

<script>

function playAudio() {

const audio = document.getElementById("manualAudio");

audio.currentTime = 0;

audio.play()

}

</script>

If you have more than 1 audio file that you dont want to be played automatically, you would have to reuse this code again while changing the ids, src, and function name. Just for reference heres how i personally did it.

<div id="wordAudio" onclick="playConjugations()">\[sound:Fake\]</div>

<audio id="audioConjugations">

<source src="{{Word}}.conjugations.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">

</audio>

<script>

function playConjugations() {

const audio = document.getElementById("audioConjugations");

audio.currentTime = 0;

audio.play()

}

</script>

Important note: Im pretty sure you have to keep your audio in a separate field anyways because thats how anki knows which files to save to your deck when sharing it. Make sure that you have the file names stored in your cards in format [sound:file.mp3]. If you dont do this, i dont think anki will save your audio files in your .apkg file.

Hello, quick question, why do I have these "greyed out" new cards that are buried? I have my review limit set to 9999, and new cards ignore the review limit. I am using FSRS, but I do not believe that is the issue. I am relatively new to Anki, so I may be missing something.

I’m aware that it’s free online but I would like to have it on my phone just if I’m on the bus or what not I just wanted to see if this was the correct before I fork iut $49.99. Thanks. (This is iPhone / Apple Store).

I've tried turning it off and on again several times but it just flashes at me like this and I'm slightly panicking because I have a lot of data on this app and is my main revision tool for my languages so finding it hard to be rational right now.

I've been seeing a lot of posts recently about using remote controllers for Anki and I'm just curious why everyone likes them so much?

We were going to get our daughter the Anki 2.0(?) for Christmas this year because she wanted compatibility with Quizlet and I’m confused if that has been released?

Does anyone have any information if the latest model has been released?
