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

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 or Cloud AI 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.
