I was pretty impressed with it and decided I had a use case for it for learning AutoHotKey Hot Key shortcuts. So I had to build a deck with all of the items in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video goes through the process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Anki  Free Powerful, Intelligent Flash Cards to give you Productivity Superpowers\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z5iwd85EjpU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As I was thinking about learning as how I did it at Uni, reducing lecture notes down by rewriting and reducing content to key phrases, I realised that I did use flashcards when learning Spanish with Dualingo. The original app I used in Ireland was good but the new one has ads and pauses such that it disrupts your flow. I gave it up as irritating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realised that I could use ANKI instead as there were free Decks you could upload to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a handy thing as I wait for pup to catch up to car when we are coming home and I have a couple of minutes to review things of interest. So I decided that I would search a few Decks out that I could explore, so got Sign Language &amp; Morse Code , Astronomy, Python Pandas and Spanish deck. So some others to play with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Hotkeys I found after fiddling with them that I ended up remapping hotkeys to different ones so I need to rebuild keyboard flashcards to practice them. I&#8217;ve also chunked them into sub decks so easier to build. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motivation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After tinkering with the cards I realised that I needed some personal motivation to actually maintain the use of the flashcards, especially for topics such as Dante, a little thing of passing interest. Maybe I&#8217;ll tinker with it, and maybe not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I need to be focused by building pertinent cards that have real value to me so that I can use them to make me more effective on a topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making relevant decks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m wondering for my Revit Keys whether to create an ANKI deck for learning. Might be a simple project using Excel\/CSV file process<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do seem to have an issue about hotkeys as I find they speed me up so much more, the only problem being that I need to remember them so I can use them effectively at the appropriate time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So start mapping all the keyboard shortcuts that I have to see which ones I need to strengthen learning on to use them more effectively. Also make CSV file to modify and upload.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need a combined one for VS Code, PowerToys, My AutoHotKey ones and others such as browser shortcut keys and revit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>get them to type in the shortcut key for Revit learning <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Anki Tutorial: Type Your Answer\" width=\"678\" height=\"509\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LNDwt4kHYo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create decks in Google sheets or Excel and import into Anki  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to keep templates is to create them outside of ANKI in spreadsheet then import them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how you can do this for images , that may need some research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End comment <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m tinkering with the cards at the moment and trying to find ones that are useful for me . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m wondering whether I can use hotkeys in typing answer box or if I have to only use this method with shortcut keys only. Still, a handy thing to do. Also can you give further information to reinforce the learning, eg after typing it shows you a diagram  or something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think ANKI can  be a great productivity tool if setup correctly and if the person is adequately motivated.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking at a vid on 200 AI tools and they mentioned ANKI for flashcards so I went and looked up the tool.
