AI4ANKI

AI4ANKI tackles the least enjoyable part of vocabulary study: deck building. Making good sentence cards for a language means finding natural example sentences, translating them, and attaching audio for pronunciation. Doing that by hand for hundreds of cards takes hours. AI4ANKI automates the whole pipeline — you pick your target language and a difficulty level, optionally provide prompts or topics, and it generates a full sentence deck with translations and audio, which you download and import into Anki.

The app supports a solid range of target languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin Chinese. The audio comes from AI text-to-speech, so every card has a consistent, natural-sounding pronunciation track alongside the written sentence. Because it can take topics or prompts from you, the generated content can follow what you are actually studying rather than a fixed textbook list.

On the site, the team is candid that the tool is aimed mainly at beginner to intermediate learners (roughly A1–B2). Their advice is explicit: past that level, learners get more from novels, real conversations and native-language media than from flashcards. Pricing runs on subscriptions tied to a monthly sentence allowance, with tiers for individual learners and a higher-volume plan for tutors who build decks for several students. Buyer beware on the policy side — because generating content with AI costs money, the service states that it does not offer refunds.
