ankilol 0.1.0

A system for parsing and creating Anki flashcards from your existing documents

Anki Card Knowledge Syncer

The Problem

I like to ask lots of questions, but I can't always immediately find out the answers to those questions. So I store them in a google doc. When I do figure out the answers, I add them. Now, I would like to take that question/answer pair and create an Anki flashcard, so that I can store it in my long-term memory. However, copy-pasting these questions and answers into anki is a time-consuming process, and one which can be fully automated.

The solution

This project takes a formatted set of questions and answers stored as a cloud document, creates flashcards from those question/answer pairs, adds them to an Anki deck, and syncs that local deck with AnkiWeb.

Example usage with locally-downloaded HTML files

python -m card_parser input_file.html

Example usage with locally-downloaded text files

python -m card_parser input_file.txt

Example usage with files stored on google drive

Prerequisites

#. Sign up for a google cloud account #. Create a new project and service account for that project #. Share the document with the service account's e-mail #. Download the service account's .json credentials and place in service_account.json file in card_parser directory #. Setup config.ini to point to the appropriate google doc ID

Then, just run the following command:

python -m card_parser

Your document should have been uploaded in-place.
