Unmaintained as of 2019 - your mileage may vary!
Convert a PPTX file (with notes and/or annotated images) to an Anki-compatible flashcard deck.
You'll probably want a virtualenv to install the dependencies in (be sure you're using Python 3.x):
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 pptx2anki
Then, install those dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Finally, run the script:
python pptx2anki.py my_presentation.pptx
As of January 2018, this tool relies on PPTX files being formatted as follows:
- The slide for the "front" of the card should contain 1 image (NOTE: if you modify or crop the image in PowerPoint, these modifications will not appear on the card, so it's recommended to edit images outside of PowerPoint and then add them to slides!)
- The "front" slide should also contain presenter notes - these are used to group slides/cards, and will be added to the card's "back"
- If you want a "back" image for the card, place that slide immediately after the "front" slide, and with the same notes as the front - otherwise, the notes from the "front" slide will simply be placed on the card's "back"
| Card Type | PowerPoint (front) | PowerPoint (back) | Anki |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front Image Only |  |
None (no slide with matching notes) |  |
| Front and Back Images |  |
 (Note that notes section has the same text as the "front" slide - image can be same as "front" or different) |
