AnkiLingoFlash

AnkiLingoFlash targets a very specific bottleneck in language study: making cards. Spaced repetition only works if you keep feeding your deck, but hand-writing front/back content with translations, example sentences and mnemonics is slow. This extension automates that step directly in the browser where you encounter new words.

The flow is short. Select a word or phrase on any page, right-click, and choose the generate option. AnkiLingoFlash returns a card whose front holds a definition plus a direct translation, and whose back holds the source term with an audio pronunciation guide, three example sentences and an AI-written mnemonic. You can regenerate any individual part or edit it before committing, then pick which Anki deck to file it into.

Experimentation is straightforward because a free trial mode runs on OpenAI's gpt-4o, and beyond that you can plug in your own OpenAI or Google Gemini API key to unlock other models — the developer frames this as a single dollar producing thousands of cards. The extension is still labelled a beta (version 0.5.x), supports card creation across a long list of languages and regional variants including Arabic, Cantonese, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Persian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, and requires a Google account for the free trial. Note that the interface itself is English-only, initial setup takes a few minutes, and API keys are encrypted before local storage.
