Youwill need to use the manual link I sent you in my reply to your Play Store review ( ) - search for "AwesomeTTS", and there you will find that if you nest an Android-compatible TTS tag inside an AwesomeTTS tag, it *should* work, assuming you've enabled text to speech in settings

Here is a similar issue on the AwesomeTTS Anki github repository that explains you may also batch generate sound files that you can then sync, but I have no experience with that - I just thought it might be informative -anki-addon/issues/230


Awhile back, I wrote an epic post called How Flashcards Fail: Confessions of a Tired Memory Guy. I had to get pretty frustrated and discouraged to write that post, and when I did, I went all in. I dove deep into all the ways that Anki can backfire when you're using it for thousands of flashcards.


So I've taken my favorite suggestions from these comments, and organized them here for your reading pleasure. I've only taken selections, and I've added paragraph breaks here and there, but otherwise, I've let these awesome people speak for themselves.


Bill, I too had problems with clustering, until I found the cure. The trick is to limit the number of new cards that you are seeing to a fairly low number each day. eg. 20. This allows you to build up a back log of new cards and not have to worry about "lumps" nearly as much.


In case someone else finds this post, here a few tips, because all the points discussed in the post are real. There is no point in pretending these issues don't exist, but there are also ways around them.


First, there is a "load balancer" plugin for Anki. This will take care of the peak days with many reviews and spread the reviews out a little bit. Yes, these demoralizing mammoth days are really a thing if the past once you've used this for a while. Unfortunately it doesn't take care of existing peaks, but you could simply "skip" a day by choosing "hard" on all the reviews for a day (without looking at them). It may feel like cheating, but there is more gained than dropping out of Anki.


Hi. As a heavy Anki user (almost 300,000 reviews so far), I've faced the same problems as you. When we face a difficult card and try to remember the answer, we begin to travel along the well-established neural pathways that lead us to the wrong answer or to nowhere, and this attempt to remember strengthen those incorrect paths, creating a vicious circle of error.


At that point I'm obviously not testing myself, but I realized that testing myself isn't the goal. Every time I see that now-easy card, I'm reviewing it anyway. It will probably end up forming a memory. If it's truly useful, I'll see it in the real world and will later associate it with that encounter.


I guess I'm a little bit too late for the party but another tip, aside from the obvious one of rewriting the card, would be to remove the time limit and take as much time as necessary to answer correctly. It's better to take longer and answer it right than to answer it wrong and get the wrong circuitry reinforced inside your brain.


And also, practice only with full concentration. If you're the kind of person who answers flashcards while walking or waiting for the bus, then at least skip this kind of card when you find yourself on such environments.


This is a drastically different approach to study from when I was a teenager in high school and expected myself to be able to be able to produce extraordinary answers based on minimalist questions. Anki and other SRS software is quite flexible about editing cards later and about how much info can be displayed on a card.


If I find a card difficult, I can add gobs of more content to the question side and usually I'll find that it has become much easier. If a card takes too long to answer, I'll rework it to call for a shorter, more instantaneous response.


In regards to difficult cards and leaches, I create a separate deck called "FIX THESE". So whenever I am reviewing and do not want to disrupt my flow I simply move obstinate cards into this deck and deal with them later. It can be done pretty quickly on anki droid as well.


For decks with higher level concepts like Algorithms or Game theory every time I review a card I explain it and I let me my mind linger and come up with associations. It's rare the card where at least 1 or 2 associations new associations don't pop in my mind including questions. Besides that it's also usually the case that when I try to explain a concept I find little nuances or questions that I then research. And that builds new associations too.


This requires time, of course, that's why I find it important to prune knowledge aggressively. I am generally eager to add new knowledge and overestimate its value. Boredom is actually a godsend for me.


What i am trying recently, is to keep the information suited for pure memorization in ANKI as individual cards, but then to make longer notes into a powerpoint presentation document, and then link an ANKI card to that note.


So when it comes up, you use the link, review the whole card and emmerse yourself in that note, then exit and rate how well you recalled it. This way atomized information can be atomized. And deeper concepts can stay deeper and connected. And all are reviewed with spaced repetition.


I think I just have a different attitude about this. I am comforted by the fact that right or wrong don't matter. I appreciate Anki telling me that I no longer know something I thought I had learned. That is the whole point. I think that perhaps the reason that you feel you are "losing" the game is that you are "punished" with additional study time when you miss a lot of cards. Limiting new cards, time boxing, addressing leaches, and creating efficient cards to begin with will make it easier to appreciate failed cards.


So what about you? Have you tried any of these tips yourself? Are you going to? Leave a comment and let us know what's working or not working for you. Share your Anki tip that wasn't on this list. I'd love to hear it!


Basic usage : Make anki cards from logseq notes based on tags.

One of the best roam plugin which I use daily : GitHub - taylormitchell/ankify_roam: A command-line tool which brings flashcards created in Roam to Anki.


Flashcards within Logseq itself would also be neat, but there is an entire ecosystem already built upon the solid foundation of Anki: several thousand decks, dozens of plugins, & existing applications for all major platforms (including mobile). All of that would be inaccessible if the plugin eschews Anki for a Logseq-native approach.


I might take a crack at building an Anki exporter plugin myself but I have little experience with JavaScript (and related languages), mainly Python. Hopefully I have enough time soon to learn that and contribute. However, if anyone else is building this and I can assist rather than lead, please let me know!


You must download these decks to your computer, NOT to your phone. You must also have Anki installed on your computer. *The file you will download is a zip file (a compressed file), thus, you will have to open these zip files to see the Anki decks.* Once you download them your computer that has Anki installed, open them. They will open directly into your Anki app. Now that they are on your computer, you can sync your Anki account with your phone so that you can access them on the go.


Hi! I used your micro deck and i found it incredibly useful! Now that i am trying to download the pharm deck, it says the decks arent available anymore :/ Are you going to re-upload them? Thanks again!


Thank you so much for putting your work into these decks! It was recommended to me by another M2 and it has been fire in terms of retention. Using your decks with the printed Sketchy Medical Notes PDF for focused visual associations.


For example, if I watched the benzodiazepine sketchy video and only wanted to do the anki cards associated with that video, would there be a way for me to easily find and just review those cards? Thanks for the quick reply!


Ah, I get your question now! Haha. If you have downloaded the deck, you will see that the cards are separated by subject. The folders are separated into cardio/renal, antimicrobials, antineoplastics, autonomic drugs, GI/endocrine, neuro/psych, etc. So you can study those folders selectively, but not by specific video. That being said, you can easily edit the deck to your pleasing. You if you wanted to add tags, you could do that for yourself ?


Yes! You can download them via the link in this post ? it will take you to a google drive. Are you having issues? If so, first try downloading to your computer with the Anki application downloaded already. Then, you can sync your Anki account to your phone.


For learning anything, I use the awesome Anki, which I love so much I donated $500 to. (The author wrote me back, thinking it must have been a PayPal mistake.) For learning Chinese in Anki, I use the great Pinyin Toolkit.
