Zero Friction Between Watching and Retaining

Sentence mining is universally acknowledged as the most effective immersion technique, yet manual card authoring introduces massive friction that derails study momentum.

Manual Authoring Pipeline

Average 10–15 minutes per single note
  • × Stop playback, open audio workstation, isolate waveform, export .mp3.
  • × Capture screen region, crop, save to local media directory.
  • × Search dictionary, verify definition, manually annotate phonetic readings.
  • × Paste into Anki browser note fields across separate windows.
  • × High cognitive friction leads to study fatigue.

Video2Anki Automated Pipeline

Under 3 seconds per note
  • Mark segment start [ and end ] during natural playback.
  • Press S to trigger automated speech transcription on-device.
  • Audio slice, mid-sentence frame capture, and translation are generated instantly.
  • Automated romanization (Pinyin / Furigana / Romaja) mapped automatically.
  • Export monolithic .apkg archive directly importable into any Anki client.
Architecture & Engine

Engineered for Precision and Native Immersion

Every subsystem is built natively in modern C++ with an emphasis on low overhead, offline stability, and zero external dependency friction.

01 • SPEECH RECOGNITION

On-Device Speech Transcription

No subtitle file available? The embedded speech recognition model transcribes dialogue directly on your machine without transmitting any audio data to third-party cloud infrastructure. Retains complete privacy while operating seamlessly offline.

Execution Sequence

Three Steps to a Permanent Vocabulary Base

Eliminate administrative card maintenance and spend your energy where it matters: comprehending authentic native material.

PHASE 01

Load Native Video

Open any common media container (.mp4, .mkv, .webm). If an external .srt track exists, load it directly; otherwise rely on on-device transcription.

PHASE 02

Mark Dialogue Boundaries

Press [ when speech begins and ] when the sentence concludes. Scrub the timeline directly for millisecond-level refinements.

PHASE 03

Commit and Export

Press S to stage the card. Export the queue to a native .apkg file and double-click to load into your Anki collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Video2Anki bundles a lightweight on-device speech-to-text inference runtime. Audio is extracted directly from the video stream and parsed locally without network transmission.
Yes. Exported .apkg packages follow the official Anki SQLite media format. Once imported into your desktop Anki client, sync your collection through AnkiWeb to study on AnkiMobile (iOS) or AnkiDroid (Android).
Standard sentence mining, audio slicing, media capture, on-device transcription, and template assembly operate completely offline. Network connectivity is only utilized when invoking cloud-based contextual cloze synthesis or translation refinement.
Segmented audio and video clips reside in an isolated temporary working directory during review. Upon completing deck packaging, temporary files are archived into the monolithic package and staging clutter is reclaimed automatically.
