Anki App For Mac

ANKIWEBSCALE=1 will alter the scale of Anki’s web views (like the deck list, study screen, etc), while leaving interface elements like the menu bar alone. Replace 1 with the desired scale, such as 1.5 or 0.75. On Windows you can add these to a batch file to make it easier to start Anki. It is with a heavy heart to inform you that Anki has ceased product development and we are no longer manufacturing robots. To our partners and customers, thank you for all your support and joining us on this journey to bring robotics and AI out of research labs and into your homes.

Boost your learning and memorization with Anki, a flashcard app that lets you grind the nitty-gritty details out fast. Anki is very commonly used for languages but isn’t limited to that subject alone.

Converse in a new Language

Anki gives you the ability to create flashcards with the word in English, your chosen language, and pronunciation if necessary.

Prepare for the lesson of a lifetime, your personal pocket tutor that’ll make flash memorization a lot easier than it’s ever been. Whether it’s languages, history, geography or science; you’ll never forget the details when you revise with Anki.

Languages are often challenging to learn. To have a normal day-to-day conversation in any language, you need to know around 1000 words. With pronunciation, spelling, and possibly even different alphabets this can quickly jump to 3000 different things when studying to write and speak a language. Anki takes the stress away and provides a simple solution.

It can include sounds letting you perfect any pronunciation you’re having issues with. Absorb 20 new words a day into your head, and you’ll reach that 1000 mark within two months.

Anki uses spaced repetition to ensure you get through every card in your deck. Spaced repetition is a system that lets you grade how well you remember the answer to a flashcard. The better your answer, the longer it’ll be before you revise that specific card. Cards you have issues with are reviewed sooner, letting you master those cards as early as possible.

Where can you run this program?

Anki is available on Windows 64-bit systems, MacOS 10.10 and later, Linux. You’re also able to revise on the go by installing it on any of your mobile devices.

Is there a better alternative?

No, it is light, powerful and available any time for a quick refresher course. Quizlet and Brainscape offer similar features, but Anki is one of the most universally used applications of its kind.

Our take

Anki is the tool to use if you’ve got a test coming up or plan to learn a new language. It’s quick and easy to use.

Should you download it?

Yes, it is one of the best apps to use while learning a language or studying. It’s also great for increasing general memory.

2.1.3

Anki is a free and open-source flashcard program that utilizes spaced repetition. Spaced repetition has been shown to increase rate of memorization.^[4] 'Anki' (暗記) is the Japanese word for 'memorization'.^[5] The SM2 algorithm, created for SuperMemo in the late 1980s, forms the basis of the spaced repetition methods employed in the program. Anki's implementation of the algorithm has been modified to allow priorities on cards and to show flashcards in order of their urgency. The cards are presented using HTML and may include text, images, sounds, videos,^[6] and LaTeX equations. The decks of cards, along with the user's statistics, are stored in the open SQLite format.

Features[edit]

Notes[edit]

Cards are generated from information stored as 'notes'. Notes are analogous to database entries and can have an arbitrary number of fields. For example, with respect to learning a language, a note may have the following fields and example entries:

• Field 1: Expression in target language – 'gâteau'
• Field 2: Pronunciation – [sound file with the word 'gâteau' pronounced]
• Field 3: Meaning of expression in familiar language – 'cake'

This example illustrates what some programs call a three-sided flashcard, but Anki's model is more general and allows any number of fields to be combined in various cards.

The user can design cards that test the information contained in each note. One card may have a question (expression) and an answer (pronunciation, meaning).

By keeping the separate cards linked to the same fact, spelling mistakes can be adjusted against all cards at the same time and Anki can ensure that related cards are not shown in too short a spacing.

A special note type allows for generation of cloze deletion cards (in Anki 1.2.x, those were ordinary cards with cloze markup added using a tool in the fact editor).

Syncing[edit]

Anki supports synchronization with a free (but proprietary) online server called AnkiWeb.^[7] This allows users to keep decks synchronized across multiple computers, and to study online or on a cell phone.

There is a third-party open source (AGPLv3) AnkiServer software which users can run on their own local computers or servers, though it is not compatible with recent Anki versions. It also provides a RESTful API for manipulating Anki collections.^[8]

Japanese and Chinese reading generation[edit]

Anki can automatically fill in the reading of Japanese and Chinese text. Since version 0.9.9.8.2, these features are in separate plug-ins.

Add-ons[edit]

More than 500 add-ons for Anki are available,^[9] often written by third-party developers.^[10] They provide support for speech synthesis, enhanced user statistics, image occlusion, incremental reading, allow for more efficient editing and creation of cards through batch editing, modify the GUI (such as through intermittent display of puppies), simplify import of flashcards from other digital sources, etc.

Shared Decks[edit]

While Anki's user manual encourages the creation of one's own decks for most material, there is still a large and active database of Shared Decks that users can download and use.^[11] Available decks range from foreign language decks (often constructed with frequency tables) to geography, physics, biology, chemistry and more. Various medical science decks, often made by multiple users in collaboration, are also available.

Comparisons[edit]

Anki's scheduling algorithm is based on an older version of the SuperMemo algorithm (SM2). The Anki author states that versions 3–5 of the SuperMemo algorithm are more susceptible to incorrect scheduling.^[12][13] The latest SuperMemo algorithm in 2019 is SM18.^[14]

Mobile versions[edit]

The following smartphone/tablet and Web clients are available as companions to the desktop version:^[15][16][17]

• AnkiMobile^[18] for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad (paid)
• AnkiWeb^[19] (online server, free to use; includes add-on and deck hosting)
• AnkiDroid^[20] for Android (free of charge, under GPLv3; by Nicolas Raoul)

The flashcards and learning progress can be synchronized both ways with Anki using AnkiWeb. With AnkiDroid it is possible to have the flashcards read in several languages using text-to-speech (TTS). If a language does not exist in the Android TTS engine (e.g. Russian in the Android version Ice Cream Sandwich), a different TTS engine such as SVOX TTS Classic can be used.

History[edit]

The oldest mention of Anki that the developer, Damien Elmes, could find in 2011 was dated October 5, 2006, which was thus declared Anki's birthdate.^[21]

Version 2.0 was released on 2012-10-06.

Version 2.1 was released on 2018-08-06.

Utility[edit]

While Anki may primarily be used for language learning or a classroom setting, many have reported other uses for Anki: scientist Michael Nielsen using it to remember complex topics in a fast-moving field^[24], others using it to remember memorable quotes, the faces of business partners or medical residents, or remember business interviewing strategies.

Medical Education[edit]

Anki is quickly becoming an important resource for many medical students in the US. Estimates report that as of 2018, over 45% of US allopathic medical students use Anki as a primary learning source.

Copera Inc.'s Anki for Palm OS[edit]

An unrelated flashcard program called Anki for Palm OS^[25] was created by Copera, Inc. (formerly known as Cooperative Computers, Inc.) and released at the PalmSource conference in February 2002. Anki for Palm OS was sold from 2002 to 2006 as a commercial product. In late 2007, Copera, Inc. decided to release Anki for Palm OS as freeware.
