Creating Anki Cards Quickly

[man_men]

Is there a way to make anki cards quickly?

When I tried making Anki cards for my first week of school, it took a long time. Is there a way to make it in a more time efficient manner? Thanks

1. Avoid basic cards. Heavily utilize cloze and image occlusion.

2. Try to keep a 1:1 ratio of fact to card

3. Keep at it. Over time, you'll pick up little tricks that'll make you way faster than when you started

Also, get AnKing or another pre-made deck and get really good at searching. I mostly utilize pre-made cards and supplement just a few of my own per lecture (5-10 maybe)

I made cards quickly, I would take a snapshot of the screen and just cover certain words in diagrams or in paragraphs with image occlusion.

I tried this on my last exam and ended up with 100-150 cards per lecture. They were quick to get through, but it seemed excessive multiplied times 30 lectures.

i probably had 1500 cards per course.

Some out there are blessed with perfect memories. Mere mortals like myself have to exert excessive effort to have results where i wanted them to be. the act of making the card is also useful.

Pick your poison.

I tried it this way too. Now, I only make cards for slides that require rote memorization.

I take screenshots of slides for the extra portion of cloze card types. Copy and paste sentences + cloze deletion. Lately I’ve been typing out sentences based on conceptual understanding for cloze deletion - active review while making cards.

for screenshots I use sharex which is a windows application and have hotkeys for selecting an area to screenshot. It automatically copies it to your clip board so just ctrl-v into the extra field.

you dont need a screenshot app, windows key+shift+s , allows you to copy only a certain area on your screen, and then just ctl+v
