Hello,

I believe you need to set that using desktop Anki.

From the manual:

If you’d like to type in the answer and have Anki compare your input to the real answer, you can do so by changing your template. Imagine your front and back templates look like:


{{Native Word}}

{{FrontSide}}

<hr id=answer>

{{Foreign Word}}

To type in the foreign word and check if you are correct, you need to edit your question template so that it looks like this:


{{Native Word}}
{{type:Foreign Word}}

Note that we have added type: in front of the field we want to compare, and it is copied into the answer section as well. If you don’t have FrontSide on the back of your card, you will need to add the same type directive to the answer side as well.

But my problem is i can't even find the "edit " icon. I've seen the tutorial videos and found out my anki interface does not look like the same as the videos. What is anki desktop? Can i download it for my galaxy tab?

Hello,

Anki desktop is an application for Mac, Windows, or Linux.
It can be downloaded from:


AnkiDroid is the Android client for that application.
You cannot install Anki desktop on your phone or
tablet, it has to be installed on a computer.

The interface has changed in the most recent
version, so that might be part of the issue you are
seeing. Which video are you referring to?

As I mentioned, you cannot edit the card templates
on the phone or tablet, but you need to do that
from a computer instead. At least at the moment.
