Anki-Vocab-Generator

This program is designed for language learners and does two things:

1. Generates a vocabulary list of 20 words in a given language.
2. Imports those words into Anki.

The program helps remove the manual steps of looking for new words and adding them to Anki. You can see a quick demo here.

The program uses ChatGPT to generate cards and Anki-Connect to create cards in Anki.

It's a small passion project that has no affiliation with Anki or Anki-Connect. If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach me at https://easytofind.co/contacts.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

cd anki-vocab-generator

2. Install the required dependencies:

npm install

3. Create an .env file and add your OpenAI key to it in the following format:

OPENAI_API_KEY={your-openai-key}

The server will start running on http://localhost:3000. Open your web browser and navigate to this address to start using the Anki Vocab Generator. Make sure to have the Anki app open when creating the vocabulary lists.

Notes:

• When picking a topic, you can choose simple ones like "football" or "traveling". You can also try something more specific like "when you go to a conference about B2B SaaS".
• You can change the number of words generated and replace English with any other language by editing the prompt in controllers/vocabularyController.js.
