Description

Welcome screen

Review your cards hands-free, graded by AI.

Voice Review reads each card's front out loud, listens to your spoken answer, and when you say "done" it shows the back and grades you automatically. For every card: the front is read aloud, you say the answer, you say "done", the back appears, and the matching button (Again / Hard / Good / Easy) is pressed for you based on how well you recalled it.

Great for studying while your hands or eyes are busy.

What you need

  • Windows (it uses the built-in Windows voice and speech components; Mac and Linux are not supported yet).
  • A microphone.
  • A free Google Gemini API key. The add-on walks you through getting one the first time you run it, in about a minute.

First run

The add-on downloads about 60 MB of speech files once, then a welcome window helps you paste and test your free key. After that, just start reviewing.

Controls

  • Say "done" to finish an answer (you can change this word).
  • Ctrl+M turns voice mode on or off.
  • Tools > Voice Review Settings for all options: the reading voice and speed, how long the grade shows before it is pressed, and more.

Privacy

Detecting the word "done" runs entirely on your computer. When you finish an answer, the audio of that answer and the card's back are sent to Google's Gemini API for grading, and nothing else. On the free tier, Google may use submitted content to improve their products. You can switch to a fully local mode in the settings, though grading is less accurate with uncommon words like technical or medical terms.

Uninstalling

Voice Review loads native speech libraries while Anki runs. To remove it, close Anki, restart it while holding the Shift key (which starts with add-ons off), then delete it from Tools > Add-ons.

README

Voice Review

Review your Anki cards hands-free. Voice Review reads each card's front out loud, listens to your spoken answer, and when you say "done" it shows the back and grades you automatically with Google's Gemini AI.

The loop for every card:

front is read aloud β†’ you say the answer β†’ you say "done" β†’ the back is revealed β†’ the AI grades what you said β†’ the matching button (Again / Hard / Good / Easy) is pressed for you.

Your microphone is processed on your own computer. Only the audio of your spoken answer and the card's back are sent to Google for grading.

The first-run welcome window

Requirements

  • Windows. Voice Review uses the built-in Windows voice and Windows speech components, so it does not work on Mac or Linux yet.
  • A free Google Gemini API key. The add-on walks you through getting one the first time it runs. It takes about a minute.
  • A microphone.

Installing

Install it from AnkiWeb: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/499865194

In Anki, go to Tools β†’ Add-ons β†’ Get Add-ons and paste the code 499865194.

The first time it starts, it downloads about 60 MB of speech files (this happens once, and the files survive future updates). Then a welcome window helps you set up your free Gemini key.

Using it

Just start reviewing. Voice Review reads the front, then listens. Say your answer, then say "done", and it handles the rest.

  • Ctrl+M turns voice mode on or off during review.
  • Tools β†’ Voice Review Settings opens the options.

Settings

Everything is in Tools β†’ Voice Review Settings:

  • The word that finishes your answer (default "done").
  • How many seconds to show the grade before it is pressed.
  • Whether the front is read aloud, and which voice and speed.
  • Your API key, with a Test button to confirm it works.
  • Whether to send your answer audio to the AI (best accuracy) or keep it fully on your computer.

Privacy

Speech recognition of the trigger word runs locally on your computer. When you finish an answer, the audio of that answer plus the card's back are sent to Google's Gemini API for grading. Nothing else is uploaded. On Google's free tier, submitted content may be used by Google to improve their products; you can turn off sending audio in the settings to keep it fully local (grading then relies on the local transcript, which is less accurate).

Uninstalling

Voice Review loads native speech libraries while Anki runs, and Windows will not delete files that are in use. To remove it cleanly:

  1. Close Anki.
  2. Start Anki while holding the Shift key (this starts with add-ons off).
  3. Go to Tools β†’ Add-ons, select Voice Review, and click Delete.

How it works

  • Reading the front aloud uses the Windows speech engine (SAPI).
  • Detecting "done" runs a small offline speech model (Vosk) on your machine, so your voice does not leave the computer for this step.
  • Grading sends your answer (as audio) and the card's back to Google Gemini, which returns one of Again / Hard / Good / Easy with a short reason.

Building from source

  • scripts/build_addon.py builds the installable voice_review.ankiaddon.
  • scripts/build_assets.py builds the anki_tts_assets.zip (the speech library and model) that is hosted on the GitHub release and downloaded on first run.
