# anki-llm > Uses LLMs to generate and rewrite Anki cards in bulk and add TTS audio, with a terminal UI to pick cards before import and JSON query commands so agents can read and write decks. Needs Anki Desktop with AnkiConnect and an OpenAI, DeepSeek or other API key, or local Ollama. - Type: CLI - Repository: https://github.com/raine/anki-llm - Page: https://hebbmind.com/ko/cli/anki-llm - Stars: 304 - Professions: [Teachers / Students](https://hebbmind.com/ko/tools.md?profession=education) - Tags: teaching, speech, llm, anki - Listed on: 2026-10-01 ## Install ### Claude Code ```bash brew install raine/anki-llm/anki-llm ``` ### Codex ```bash brew install raine/anki-llm/anki-llm ``` ## README > The content below comes from the upstream repository https://github.com/raine/anki-llm .

anki-llm generation TUI

aven: one task queue for you and your coding agents Also from the author of anki-llm: aven, one queue for every project, with a keyboard-driven TUI for you and a CLI for your agents. ## What people say - *"What's next get AI to answer your flashcards for you?"* - grei_earl on Reddit - *"I love this. The README is extremely detailed and clear, and using AnkiConnect to edit decks in-place avoids the usual apkg headaches."* - rahimnathwani on Hacker News - *"This is cool!"* - Hsaeedx on Reddit ## Why anki-llm? - **Process files or decks.** Export notes to reviewable CSV or YAML, process them with automatic resume, and import the result, or update a deck directly with previews, snapshots, and rollback support. - **Generate cards interactively.** Create several cards for a term, compare them in a terminal UI, edit or regenerate candidates, catch duplicates, and import only the cards you choose. - **Keep workflows in plain files.** Store prompts, note types, and per-project settings in a workspace that can be reviewed, versioned, and shared. - **Add text-to-speech.** Fill audio fields in bulk or synthesize audio while generating cards, with voice browsing, caching, and multiple TTS providers. - **Edit note types with normal tools.** Pull card template HTML and CSS into a workspace, edit them in your preferred editor or coding agent, and safely push them back to Anki. - **Bring your preferred model.** Use OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint. - **Give agents structured Anki access.** `anki-llm query` exposes AnkiConnect through a JSON-oriented CLI for collection inspection and agent-driven workflows. ## Quick start Install with the release script: ```sh curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raine/anki-llm/main/scripts/install.sh | bash ``` Or install with Homebrew: ```sh brew install raine/anki-llm/anki-llm ``` Or install from crates.io: ```sh cargo install anki-llm ``` Install the [AnkiConnect add-on](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2055492159) and keep Anki Desktop running for commands that read or change your collection. File-only LLM processing with `process-file` can run while Anki is closed. Set an API key for your provider. For example, with OpenAI: ```sh export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key" ``` Check the resolved model, workspace, credentials, and Anki connection without changing your collection: ```sh anki-llm doctor ``` Continue with the [getting started guide](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/getting-started/) to create a workspace and run your first processing or generation workflow. ## Documentation - [What is anki-llm?](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/) - [Getting started](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/getting-started/) - [Core concepts](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/concepts/) - [Process a file](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/process-file/) - [Process a deck](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/process-deck/) - [Write prompts](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/prompts/) - [Use workspaces](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/workspaces/) - [Generate cards](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/generate/) - [Configure processing steps](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/processing-steps/) - [Text-to-speech](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/tts/) - [Manage note types](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/note-types/) - [Work with agents](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/agents/) - [Command reference](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/command-reference/) - [Prompt reference](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/prompt-reference/) - [Models and providers](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/models/) - [TTS providers](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/tts-providers/) - [Configuration](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/configuration/) - [AnkiConnect reference](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/ankiconnect/) - [Troubleshooting](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/troubleshooting/) - [FAQ](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/faq/) - [Changelog](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/changelog/) - [LLM-readable docs](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/llms.txt) Recipes: - [Verify translations](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/recipes/translations/) - [Add key vocabulary](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/recipes/key-vocabulary/) - [Generate vocabulary cards](https://anki-llm.raine.dev/recipes/vocabulary-cards/) ## Development Install the local quality tools and run the full read-only check suite: ```sh just install-quality-tools just check ``` `just check` writes full command output to `target/check-logs`.
