The Mnemonic space is not visible when you answer the card..
Also something really confuses me..
I added to justify front and back of a card but still not working. I have to press the button and justify one by one.
Maybe my front template has to have something in it?
Last thing :(
Why even tho I have "justify" on my CLOZE settings. I still have to justify? I'm losing my mind trying to understand this simple code..
Where can I go to learn this and fix it..
I have been keeping an eye on my correct answers on mature cards after finishing my daily anki session and the percentage is 99% of the times around 88.xx%. Even if I change my interval modifier to target a higher retention rate, it's still gonna be the same in the long run. Is there a reason for that? It's really annoying because I want at least >90%.
Is there any great deck to prepare for my sat exam? Specially I have alot of time and I really want to integrate anki into my learning. And would it really help to memorize vocabulary (in context) or I should focus only on solving more pastpapers.
I just started using Anki and added 80 cards today. I'm using FSRS but haven't changed anything in the settings apart from setting a higher limit for new cards.
Most cards were "good" when I first got them (I'd say 50 out of the 80). When I got them again 10 minutes later the review times for all of then were different. For one card on which I hit "good" the first time, hitting good again would make me see it again in 4 days while "easy" would be 10 days. For the next card (I pressed "good" the first time I saw it too) the review time for another "good" was 3 days and for "easy" it was 7.
Is that normal? I'd so what's the explanation for it? Thank you all in advance.
Hi guys so I'm gonna write the Zambian bar exam in exactly 134 days (starting June 16) and back in November TikTok convinced me to buy anki. I also watched some videos by Ali Abdal on YouTube so I kinda already know about FSRS. However my biggest issue I have with starting to use & figuring out this app is the structure of my exams. The Zambian bar exam is a closed book exam consisting of 11 different courses but we're allowed to carry some printed statutes(1 exam per course) questions are mostly essay form requiring you to connect the dots and draw from the interplay of various statutes and caselaw in order to answer the essay. There's a lot of caselaw and there's also a lot of legal drafting ... how should I create decks so I'm only reviewing content of 2 courses per day? Because I only ever study 2 courses per day(? Do I need sub decks for each particular sub unit per course? What is a reasonable amount of reviews per day? Keep in mind I have already imported all the recommended optimal settings suggested by these TikTok and YouTube anki influencers. My only problem is I don't know how to structure my review for 11 courses where I'll only be doing content for 2 courses per day... also I have to add new cards almost every day so how do I balance my reviews with adding new cards to decks for 11 individual courses. You guys talk about how anki has saved your academic lives but I don't know how to join in on the fun in a way that would work best for me... I don't really care about burnout or card overload btw & I plan on getting an anki remote. Thanks in advance
I need help with sample pdf file to convert to anki format .apkg by AI Anything you did done by manual before. Thanks so much.
I created a simple tool that converts books into Anki decks, complete with definitions, pronunciation, and examples.
Hopefully, it’s helpful to some of you!

Hello, I have a MCQ exam with over 150 questions and marked with the right answer. Instead of copy and pasting every question manually, is there a way to do it with AI of some sort (mb chatgpt?). Or is there an algorithm of some kind? I am too lazy to do it manually unforturnately to anki
So basically i want this in this format: " Front: which of the skibidi toilet is the most skibidi A. skibidi B. skibidi skibidi C. toilet toilet D. Toilet E. none of the above
Back: A. skibidi "
Best regards, me
I have been using basic and reversed for a while its great but the problem is I do twice the cards and I have friends that just use basic and create a couple of sentences using basic so. Would I be able to use the words in my speaking with just sentence(s) in the front and definition in the back?
Making cards through copying and pasting, anki takes some time to register. Also, even when i press spacebar for space among words.
Also, by copying and pasting i mean not from any third party, when i started anki i made basic cards, now i converted all of them into cloze note type, now i'm just copying/cutting words from extra field to text field and make clozes.
It works fine for some minutes when i close and restart anki
Troubleshooting, except for updating to latest version, I have tried all methods given in anki manual.
I'm using Anki desktop
Version 24.04 (429bc9e1)
Python 3.9.18 Qt 6.6.2 PyQt 6.6.1
Tried pasting text in chrome browser search, it appears instantly, it's anki application problem only
I've tried everything so far I feel like. Restarted Mac, anki, forget device in Bluetooth, downloaded and redownloaded contanki, upgraded and downgraded firmwares on the 8bitdo controller and still won't work unless it is plugged into the Mac
I found out about yomitan yesterday and spend 3 hours mining. Unfortunately my dumbass didn’t bother to check the results on Anki after doing a couple of additions. What I have now is about 100-200 words added without their meanings on the back as I wanted. I spend some time looking for an addon that would do a bulk update by looking up a dictionary but I could only find one and that wasn’t supported. Please tell me how to proceed. I have fixed yomitan anki settings so cards are getting added properly now but how do I fix those 200 cards from before?
I finished kaishi 1.5k and now I'm only revising cards I've already seen, I tried making a card myself and it just takes so long to do on mobile, is there anything I can do to speed up the process of making cards on mobile? Or do I need to switch decks? After I got mature on all 1.5k? (do not have a pc, or lan house nearby)
can i make a filtere deck for just I/O cards, forward, or reverse cards? If so, what's do I need to type in to sort for those? Thank you in advance.
New to anki, wanted to see what I'd learn next so I opened a deck and now i have 59 cards due 😭, I keep getting notifications, what can I do to unlearn the deck or something to stop giving me notifications, I'm not sure how to put it into words
So I've been using FSRS for approximately 4 months now (started on September), and I started using Anki around June of last year. After doing all the correct steps of activating and starting to use FSRS, I'm having a consistent problem of having low retention rates on mature cards, doesn't matter how many times I optimize the parameters while keeping my desired retention at 0,96.
I included in this post my retentions of young/mature cards after activating FSRS, my desired retention (0,96) and my current parameters (I have a RMSE of 3.17%). I do cards everyday and I utilize the buttons correctly (Again, Good and Hard). And no, my flashcards aren't the problem (they're short and concise), because my retention rates of mature cards were better before I activated FSRS.
I don't know what to do anymore to fix this problem and/or how to increase my retention of mature cards, because an retention rate of overall ~86% is not even close to my desired retention of 96% for all cards. It just feels that the algorithm is just not adapting and only working for young cards. What should I do?
Has anyone been experiencing lag with anki? I try to see the answer for a card but have to click it twice, then it just skips the answer and it goes directly to the next card
as in, for optimal fsrs integration. how many seconds is the limit for me to then click hard. I currently do it if a card takes me longer than 20 seconds
I found myself analyzing the intervals for the hard/good/easy buttons before I was pressing them. Instead of actually using the buttons as intended, I was using them as a menu of three options as to what I thought the best interval should be.
A few months ago I had Anki hide them and I've had a much better experience with it all! I answer hard/good/easy naturally and let the scheduler do it's thing. Every once in a while, I will optimize the FSRS per deck which brings the (hidden) intervals more in line with what they should be.
I've set my maximum interval to 10 years as a way to settle any anxiety I have about never seeing a card again, but I may up that limit or remove it altogether.
On a similar note, I've also had Anki hide the number of remaining cards while I'm reviewing. It keeps me more in the moment, but also prevents me from meta-analyzing a card based on it being new, learning, or due.
It's been a great way to focus on the reviewing and trusting the system do the work of scheduling.
databases? datasets? info-sets? repositories? data sheets?
I've been doing anki for 4 years now. I'll be happily using Anki for a year or two and then decide I want to change something with my flashcards. And I always have to ask myself "what's the difference between a note and a card again?"
When I was first trying to learn Anki, I remember not even processing that a note and a card were different things which obviously made things very confusing.
You wouldn't have to change anything else. Just change the damn name! It would make it SO much easier, especially for beginners. I don't care what it is as long as it's not a potential synonym with the word 'card'.
New month, new flashcards! What Anki decks have you guys been studying and how's it going?
The image I applied in anki droid is only showing in main screen and not in review screen, where we actually review the cards, is it a glitch or its designed this way
How do I program a button to toggle "Extra Information" in my controller? "Toggle Masks" only seem to work for image occlusion.
I'm currently using anki for multiple class and was looking into getting a remote.
Any suggestions? I was looking at the AR 2 Pro since it seems to configure easier than others.
