Feynman Audio — NB
Record your own voice while reviewing cards, directly from the reviewer — no extra windows, no context switching.
This add-on is built around the Feynman Technique: the best way to check whether you actually understand something is to explain it out loud. Now you can do that inside Anki and save the recording directly to your note.
What it does
While you are in review mode, the add-on adds:
- A microphone button in the top-right corner of the reviewer
- A keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+Shift+R
Triggering either one will:
- Open the current note in Edit Current
- Start recording your audio
- Insert the recorded file into the field you configured for that note type
Reviewer view
The microphone button sits unobtrusively in the top-right corner while you review.

Recording flow
Once triggered, Anki opens the note editor and the recording begins immediately into the target field.

Setup
The target field is configured per note type, so you can use different fields across different decks.
- Go to Tools → Review Audio Shortcut Settings
- Select your note type
- Select the field where audio should be inserted
- Click Save field

The add-on remembers the saved field for each note type and restores your last selection when you reopen the settings.
Behavior to know
- The reviewer icon is enabled by default
- If no field is configured for the current note type, the add-on shows a warning prompting you to open the settings
- If the saved field no longer exists (e.g. after editing the note type), the add-on will skip insertion until you reconfigure
- If the target field already contains content, the new audio is inserted at the top of the field — existing content is preserved
