Description

Automatic Cloze Cards

Description

This Anki add-on automates the creation of cloze deletion cards from your notes, streamlining your card creation workflow. If you've ever found yourself creating a basic card and then realizing you'd rather have a cloze deletion, this add-on solves that problem! It allows you to write cloze deletions in your note, even if you've selected a basic note type, and it will automatically convert it to a cloze card.

Configure Note Type Change window in Anki
Configuration window for Automatic Cloze Cards add-on in Anki

This add-on was created with a lot of inspiration from RisingOrange's Basic to Cloze add-on.

Key Features

  • Automatic Cloze Conversion: Automatically converts notes to cloze cards when cloze deletions are detected.
  • Simplified Workflow: Write cloze deletions directly, without needing to switch note types manually.
  • Configurable: Specify source and target card types in the add-on's configuration.

Installation

  1. Open Anki.
  2. Go to "Tools" -> "Add-ons" -> "Get Add-ons".
  3. Enter the add-on code: (1703542984)
  4. Click "Ok" to install the add-on.
  5. Restart Anki, as you can only change the settings after this step

Usage

  1. Configure Source and Target Note Types: In the add-on's configuration, define which note types should be considered for automatic conversion (source note types) and which note type should be used for the cloze cards (target note type).
  2. Create Notes with Cloze Deletions: Create a new note using one of the configured source note types. Include cloze deletions in your note's text using the standard Anki cloze syntax (e.g., {{c1::keyword}}).
  3. Automatic Conversion: When you add the note, the add-on will automatically convert it to a cloze note using the target note type you specified in the configuration.

Configuration

The add-on's settings can be found in Anki's add-on configuration dialog ("Tools" -> "Add-ons" -> "Automatic Cloze Cards" -> "Config")
