Limit review to only certain note types

[Andy Foster]

Howdy,

Was wondering if there was a way to limit the review of a card to only certain note types - for a language deck there are times when I only want to review recognition (listening, reading) cards for example, and other times when I want to review only speaking or only reading.

I guess the idea may be anathema to some. I'd hoped to use the tag system to tag them by different card types, but unfortunately tags apply to entire notes.

So far I see two options:

1. Move the cards to different decks. This let's me then review each card type exclusively... but it also means I can ONLY review each card type exclusively (I think?)

2. Forgo the note system and generate duplicate cards. So instead of a single note producing 4 cards, I'd have 4 notes producing 1 card each. I have tagging granularity at the 'card' level, but at the cost of data duplication and a potential a maintenance nightmare. 

Just wondering if I've missed anything or anybody had experiences to share regarding this?

cheers,

Andy

Check the anki manual:
https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#filtered-decks-&-cramming
https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#searching

You need a filtered deck that search for 'deck:NameOfDeck note:Recognition'.
I think the more convenient way to do this is using the desktop
version, test the search string on the deck browser and check if that
is exactly want you want to filter.

Thanks. Didn't realise the search string had the same format. I'd tried it but probably typo'd something and thought it couldn't do what I want. Your suggestion of using the desktop browser to prototype a search string is a good one.
