Description

Ever wanted to answer Anki cards by playing your guitar?

No?

Well no you can play a chord to reveal the answer, play another to rate the card.

  • Any major or minor chord, or single notes (exact octave or any octave)
  • Pick a key and it assigns one chord per action
  • A readiness bar shows when the next chord will be accepted โ€” you must mute the strings between commands, so one ringing chord can't fire twice
  • Settings tune the input threshold to your room's background noise, and how long it waits between chords โ€” a live dB meter shows what your microphone is hearing
  • Ctrl+Alt+G stops listening instantly

Requirements: Windows, Anki 25.09 or newer. Talks to the Windows microphone API directly โ€” no cloud, no API key, no recordings saved, no extra packages installed

Note: testing was done using laptop microphone and guitar only. I have not tried with other instruments, but in theory it should work with anything that makes music.
