plain2anki allows you to take plain text notes on your lectures and classes and then automatically converting them to a Anki-importable CSV.
Go to plain2anki.simonknott.de, enter your plain text notes and click on the "download" button to obtain a CSV file of your questions. That file can then be imported in Anki: The first column contains the questions, the second one contains answers.
The parsing rules for your plain text notes are illustrated by the following example:
- How many ounces is one kilo? 2.37 ounces.
* What's 1+1? Is it odd? It's two, it's even.
What's the stupidest animal in the jungle? The polar bear.
This will result in the following questions:
Q: How many ounces is one kilo? A: 2.37 ounces.
Q: What's 1+1? Is it Odd? A: It's two, it's even.
Q: What's the stupidest animal in the jungle? A: The polar bear.
Some rules for parsing your plain text:
- Cards are separated by line breaks.
- Empty lines are ignored.
- Leading enumeration marks like
-,*, or+are ignored. - The last question mark in a line marks the end of the question.
- If there's no question mark, e.g. in a "Define X." kind of card, the first "." marks the end of the question.
- Both questions and answers are trimmed of surrounding whitespace.
