24 alternatives to Hanky – ETL style framework for loading flash cards into Anki
It makes it easy to hit API's, web scrape, do text-to-speech via online services etc in order to build rich flash cards in an automated way. This has grown organically over a couple of years while learning French and German with some friends and thought some of you guys might find it useful. An example pipeline I built with Hanky: - Use CV to grab highlighted words and their context off of a page of printed text (extract) - translate the highlighted word via an API (transform) - generate audio with a tts service (transform) Then load all that into anki as flash cards (load) Keen to hear any…

Here is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repeat count. Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt…

Hi HN, I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory. Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!

I've used Anki for years, first for studying Chinese and now for German. Previously, I would never create flashcards on the go, because it's so cumbersome on the mobile Anki app. Instead I would send words to myself on telegram, and then process them at home. So I got tired of it, and built a telegram bot for creating German flashcards on the go. No languages except German are supported for now. How it works: - You send a German word or a sentence to the bot. - It uses an LLM to automatically generate a flashcard, complete with a mnemonic, translation, etc. - You customize and save the card…

Hey HN! I’m Alex, and one of my favorite ways to learn languages is by reading novels. Currently I’m reading 三体 (3 body problem), but one problem I've always had is it takes ages to look up words, and add them to Anki flashcards so I can remember them. 三体 is especially brutal with so much sci-fi vocab. That’s why I built Readly. I snap a pic of the page I’m reading, it loads the text in-app and lets me lookup words, add to Anki-style flashcards, or ask AI questions about the text, all in a single tap. It's a huge time saver. My specific learning strategy, if anyone wants to replicate it: 1.…
