Pindu Reader

Introduction

Note: Pindu currently supports Mandarin Chinese (ไธญๆ–‡) using either ็ฎ€ไฝ“ๅญ— or ็นไฝ“ๅญ—. Sign up at our website to be alerted when other languages are supported.

Note: Some features require an OpenAI and/or OpenRouter API key.

Pindu extends Anki's spaced repetition system with an extensive reading engine and a reader interface that help you build reading comprehension and vocabulary. "Build text from your Anki collection, then get credit for reading it." Instead of reviewing isolated vocabulary cards, you read text that is calibrated to your level and is engineered to contain the Anki-managed words that you care about. This approach makes vocabulary review more engaging, and it also builds real fluency via reading comprehension. You can swap back and forth between Anki's normal system and Pindu's system at any time; they are complementary and work together to help you acquire language faster.

Quick Start

Installation

  1. Open Anki and go to Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons
  2. Paste in the Pindu code: 600135790
  3. Restart Anki

Some Media

The Prepare phase: configuring a bulk text review.

The Review phase: reading and marking words.

First Launch

Access Pindu in three ways:

  • From Tools menu: Tools > Pindu > Launch
  • From Anki's main screen: Click "Launch Pindu" from the bottom bar
  • From the deck overview: Click "Pindu (Express)" for a quick generation with your configured method

Basic Configuration

There is some basic configuration to begin using Pindu:

  1. Configure Pindu to recognize your Anki notes. a. Launch the "Configure" dialog from Pindu's sidebar and go to the "Anki Note Type Mapping" tab. b. Select your existing Anki note type from the "Unconfigured" list on the left. c. Use the dropdown menus to map the fields from your Anki note type to the standard Pindu fields. Only the 'Hanzi' mapping is required. d. Click "Add/Update Pindu Configuration". The note type should move to the "Configured" list on the right. Save the configuration and exit.
  2. (Optional) Add API keys to make use of AI features like generation, translation, and TTS. a. Launch the "Configure" dialog from Pindu's sidebar and go to the "Services and Accounts" tab. b. Add API keys for your accounts (OpenAI and/or OpenRouter for text generation; OpenAI and/or Azure for speech), and choose models for the services.
