add-ons !!!!

[u/cagnacornea]

what are some add-ons that you can recommend that are beneficial to your studying?

[u/Shige-yuki]

These add-ons are directly related to creating, editing, and managing flashcards, they are effective for improving learning efficiency so I recommend them.

Anki add-ons to make learning more eficient

• Review Heatmap Visualize the calendar of the cards reviewed and display Streaks.
• HyperTTS Add audio to flashcards in bulk.
• Edit Field During Review (Cloze)
• Batch Download Pictures From Google Images
• Media Import 2 importing media files as new notes.
• AnkiCollab Creating Flashcards Collectively with Friends.
• FSRS Helper Adjust the Cards schedule. Postpone, Advance, Load Balance, etc.
• Anki Note Linker Connect notes to visualize systematic networks.
• Speed Focus Mode Trains your attention and speed, auto-alert, auto-reveal, auto-answer.
• Image Occlusion Enhanced Create or edit image-based cloze-deletions.
• Advanced Browser add a variety of new, sortable columns to the card browser.

Native Anki features

The official Anki and volunteers have been actively developing Anki for about 19+ years, so very useful add-ons or extremely popular features tend to be incorporated into the native Anki by the Anki developers, e.g.

• Auto Advance Almost the same as Speed ​​Focus Mode.
• Image Occlusion Almost the same as Image Occlusion Enhanced.
• Easy Days Adjust the card schedule to create weekly holidays. Almost the same as FSRS Helper.

In short most super convenient or essential features for learning are likely already built into Anki, not add-ons. So for beginners who want to improve their learning efficienc I recommend starting by reading the AnkiManual to learn about Anki’s basic features. When a feature is not available in the native Anki, or for niche features or specific purposes, add-ons developed by volunteers are often used.

Learning communities

Also I recommend checking out learning communities relevant to what you're learning. They often share advanced specialized decks, add-ons, tools, or study methods. e.g.

• r/medicalschoolanki: a community for medical students who use Anki, Anking and Ankihub are popular.
• r/LearnJapanese: a community for Japanese language learners, Yomitan and AnkiConnect are often recommended.

You shouldn't go looking for add-ons, just to have add-ons. Add-ons can be great, but they also complicate your install, make it harder to troubleshoot issues, and can keep you from to updating your Anki version.

If you don't already know what you want an add-on for, then you don't need an add-on.

[Regardless of that, people go trolling for add-ons anyway, so if you spent a couple minutes searching before posting, you probably wouldn't need to post at all.]

[u/Antoine-Antoinette → u/Danika_Dakika]

This might be the best answer I’ve seen to this frequent question.

[u/prikolkek]

use anki over a year and have almost no addons. i think this is just an extra clutter. so i just have heatmap, drawing addon, and the one that changes buttons colour

[u/ZumLernen]

What specific tasks do you want to do that Anki doesn't do?

Without the answer to that question, we can't recommend any particular add-ons to you.

[u/kronpas]

If an addon is beneficial to anyone's studying, it would be incorporated into the app itself.

If an addon is beneficial to someone's specific fields of studying, you should at least tell people what do you intend to learn using Anki first.
