Question Help with AI prompt

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I created an AI prompt to help me create flashcards to study Italian vocabulary. But every time I use it, the AI interprets it differently. Sometimes heading qualifiers in Italian, qualifiers in English, no qualifiers at all it's annoying to have completely different format of flashcards within the same deck. I can draft the prompt for more consistent results? Or is the AI assist just not very good? The prompt is shown in the pictures, along with a few examples of different interpretations.

Question Dynamic batches for cramming.

0 Upvotes

I would like to learn really a lot of words daily.

I want anki to work the following way: Take five cards from the top and make me cramming them until I will remember one of the card. As soon as I remembered it - it should replace the card I remember with new one. So all the time I work only with 5 cards simultaneously. Not with 20-30 as it is by default.

Is there a way to make anki work like this? Maybe some plugins?

I just got anki after realising i was using a knockoff the whole time but i think my schools blocking system doesn't let me install addons from the codes, it just gives me this error, I'm sure it would work once I'm home but I'm impatient

2072125761: Please check your internet connection. HTTPSConnectionPool(host='ankiweb.net', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /shared/download/2072125761?v=2.1&p=250200 (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1129)')))

Maybe the file would work? Thanks

Question AnkiApp syncing

0 Upvotes

I have been using AnkiApp for a few weeks on my phone. Yes, I know that it is not the original app, but I don’t know where to ask. I downloaded AnkiApp on my iPad and did a bunch of cards, however the next day ther results were not on my phone. It says “just synced” on both devices. What should I do?

Question Anki Timing

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m new to using Anki so I’m just a little curious but like I usually spend very long studying the Anki cards, is it supposed to be like that? is that normal? Like realistically how many cards should I be finishing in 3 hours? like 30? I know it’s very subjective and it depends on the person, but i’m just curious how long it takes other people. Cause if it’s just me who takes really long then I must be doing something wrong. I searched google and it said I should spend 3 minutes on each card when I learn them the first time and just read and try to understand them before I move on to the next card. But i’m not sure, cause usually i just look at it and then I click “again” until i’ve seen it and read it enough times to the point I can finally click “good.” What do you guys think? Is the way i’m doing it wrong? is there a better way to do it?

Solved Today I solved "Database appears to be in an inconsistent state"

3 Upvotes

Today I got a weird error. I couldn't find many solutions online. Here's my story in case it happens to you:

I searched for a specific card I made a while ago, and couldn't find it. Then I went to its deck and found that 500+ cards were gone, with a message that read something like: "Database appears to be in an inconsistent state". I panicked a little and quickly exported a security backup of my other devices.

The message also recommended to "Tools > Check database", so I did. This created a new deck called "recovery21637826113258" or some long string of numbers i can't remember. The cards in this deck were the 550 cards I had lost previously, and they kept their card info (so I didn't worry about losing progress).

When I exited the deck, I saw all of the cards were programmed for today (500+ cards, oof). But then I checked the "scheduled date" and it was in 1747. So I moved all the cards to their corresponding decks and re-programmed them for the next 2 weeks.

The issue that caused this is, I think, the fact that I built a custom deck and tried to sync it on another device. Then not clearing the deck, and choosing to keep the latter device's sync info. Definitely it was a syncing error. Don't be me, sync your decks periodically.

TL;DR:

  • Got a weird corruption error that "erased" 500+ cards
  • Did "Tools > Check database" and it created a new deck with my lost cards
  • The lost cards were scheduled for 1747 but kept their "anki info"
  • I re-scheduled them for the next two weeks to solve this
  • The problem came form a syncing error involving a custom deck (most probably)

Edit: typo

Question Beginner here: Should I tweak Anki settings or just enable FSRS and forget it?

3 Upvotes

Hey, I’ve just learned the basics of Anki. Since I’m just starting out, should I stick with the default settings (without FSRS), or should I tweak the default settings like some videos suggest? Or should I just turn FSRS on? The thing is, I’m not sure what to do after enabling FSRS—do I just leave it on and that’s it? Do I need to click all those "Optimize" buttons too?

Do you have a link to a post or guide that simply tells me what to do with FSRS? I’m not looking for all the technical details or explanations about why it works—I just want a clear, simple setup so I can focus on making cards and learning from lectures, while Anki handles the scheduling/spacing and decides the best time to review each card.

Question Exam in one month with nearly 3000 flashcards

7 Upvotes

Helloooo, I’m not really new to anki but I’ve definitely been neglecting it mainly because I’m a huge procrastinator. I have exams starting in a month and I have nearly 3000 new flashcards to learn, and so I wanna ask people who are more experienced with anki if it is possible to do. I have a goal of basically learning all these new flashcards in a week (they are a level flashcards for anyone wondering, so not really short flashcards) and reviewing as needed basically, whilst also doing practice questions on top too. I know it’s crazy hard but I’m over here doing what I gotta do and basically not wasting anymore time (kinda).

Question FSRS tutorial

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, I need a bit of advice.
I’m moving from SM-2 to FsRs, and like with any change, I’m slightly terrified.
I’d like to start off light, without driving myself crazy tweaking everything.
I really don’t want my cards jumping from 1g to 10g out of nowhere, do you have a good configuration to recommend?
If anyone has direct experience, charts, or anything else that could help, I’d really appreciate it!

Question Searching for Ankideck c1english (german - english, dutch - english)

3 Upvotes

My friend and I are preparing for the C1 English exam and weve found some useful study decks that are entirely in English. However my friend whose native language is German struggles a bit. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good German-English study deck for him. While Im asking Im also curious if there are any good Dutch-English decks available too. It doesnt matter if its focused on grammar, vocabulary, or both...anything we can get our hands on would be helpful.

Question Inserting new notes to the start of a deck

1 Upvotes

Is there any way to insert new notes to the start of a deck? It seems like I can only add notes that append to the end of the deck. I'm trying to keep my deck as organized as possible but I just realized I missed the vocabulary from the first chapter of my book and would like to insert those words to the beginning of the deck. Is this possible? Thanks!

Question trouble with variation

2 Upvotes

hi everyone, i use anki a lot and love it, but i’ve realized that i’ve been facing some trouble recently when it comes to pieces of info that have many sub-pieces of information (if that makes sense). for example, i’ve been using anki to study different literary movements for my french class, and for each movement i need to know the name of it, the century its from, characteristics of it, authors from this movement and pieces these authors have written. because there were so many different literary movements, i’ve been getting info from each jumbled up. for instance, if the flashcard asked me for the stories Victor Hugo wrote I would be able to name them, but then I would get confused for which literary movements Hugo is actually from because of the fact that there are so many. does anyone have any advice for this specific struggle? should i be studying the info differently before using anki (i do active recall on the topic and then jump straight into anki cards for that specific topic)? should i be writing the flashcards differently? any help would be greatly appreciated!

Question what is happening

1 Upvotes

i set my intervals a couple years ago and haven't had any issues with them, but recently i noticed that hard would make my cards show up after 3 days and good would make them show up after 1. i noticed there was an FSRS setting enabled, so i disabled that because i haven't used it before and don't feel like i need to mess around with my intervals. since shutting that off, the easy button is also being dragged into this mess. how do i fix this?
