Using Anki to remember what you read

Re:Using Anki to remember what you read by yewenjie on Thursday March 05, 2020 @08:56AM (#22493491)

For frictionless card-creation I have made an org-capture template for quickly adding cards to an org-mode file via a custom Emacs pop-up frame. This is accessible from everywhere with the keybinding (Super + c + a).

Exporting to Anki from Emacs is done via the anki-editor mode for Emacs.

There is also org-drill that implements spaced repetition in org mode.

I think org-drill is just better overall since it's all stored as plain-text at the end of the day and each card is really editable and accessible. Anki in my experience has a clunky, slow GUI. It can't beat the creation and editing speed from vim keybindings and macros.

The thing I miss with org-drill is being able to do it on the phone. I have considered trying to integrate it into Orgzly but it does seem like a big project, unfortunately.

IME org-drill is quite slow to run through reviews, with a lot of lag.

This sounds like an issue with something else you have installed in Emacs. I suggest running the profiler to see what is actually taking time. Org-drill itself on an otherwise vanilla config is fast, so it could be that you have hooks that are slow or something.

Thank you for creating and sharing that, I hadn't thought to look for an Emacs to Anki connector before.

Being able to add my slow-but-steady Lisp learning notes into Anki would be very cool.
