Description

Answer Typing Box

Adds a plain multiline typing box to selected decks in desktop Anki. The box matches your card background and text colour, with no extra labels or buttons.

Type your practice answer before revealing the model answer.
Your text stays visible when you reveal the answer and clears on the next card.
Choose individual decks, including their subdecks, or apply it to all decks.
Cards with an existing typing box are left alone. Native Anki type-answer cards are skipped by default.
Temporary practice notes are not graded or saved as answer history.

Setup

Restart Anki after installation. Open Tools → Answer Typing Box, select your decks and save. No decks are selected by default.

Compatibility and testing

For desktop Anki with Qt6. This add-on does not run on AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid or AnkiWeb.

Package and Python filter tests: 26 passed. JavaScript state tests: 7 passed, including persistence after revealing the answer and reset on the next card. Installed-app review and settings-dialog verification are still pending.

The add-on does not modify notes, card templates or scheduling and does not make network requests.
