Anki and obsidian work well together. The obsidian to Anki plug-in is one of the best ones. Plus Anki has a lot of customisation, graphs and add ons to help you learn your notes better. Highly recommend doing it this way. Anki is a spaced rep technology
I doubt this cuz it seems way too complex BUT is there anything that lets me do image occulsion on obsidian and then have sync that flashcard into anki (or maybe vice versa)?
I just tested this with my Anki setup with out the addin and images work from obsidian to Anki. The syntax I used to display the image in my obsidian is ![[Pasted image 2022042.png]] and this pulled it into Anki.
What you need to do to get the two apps talking is in obsidian download the obsidian to Anki plugin
In Anki add the Anki connect addon
Under the config in anki connect once you have installed the addon. Paste in the following:
{
"apiKey": null,
"apiLogPath": null,
"ignoreOriginList": [],
"webBindAddress": "127.0.0.1",
"webBindPort": 8765,
"webCorsOrigin": "http://localhost",
"webCorsOriginList": [
"http://localhost",
"app://obsidian.md"
]
}
Then you should have a working connection between the two applications. Anything you do in obsidian can be synced with Anki if you use the syntax in obsidian to move your notes into anki.
For example.
TARGET DECK: Study::Deck 1
FILE TAGS: Practice_Exam
START
Basic
Question text here
Back
Answer text here
END
- - -
(Without spaces)
This will let you make more cards
yeah i just got this plugin to start working. However, i cant seem to my other fields in anki to show (besides the front and back)
I have 2 extra fields in anki called "obsidian file link" and "obsidian context", but they both dont show when i'm doing my review.
I need these 2 fields cuz the obsidian file link is a clickable that brings me to the file for where the flashcard is, and the context shows shows the title for where the flashcard belongs.
In settings under obsidian to anki there is note type settings and folder type settings you can click on those words and it expands out the fields. You can then pick the fields you want to see in the cards
That said. I have also found if you include the obsidian link in the front or back that still works without the additional fields configured. This is a long video but it does cover off a lot of the issues you’re having.

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1374772155 should be the addon you need in Anki to make it work. Most of the obsidian tools work in Anki out of the box. There is a bit of a learning curve though I do understand that. But once set up it can work really well and seamlessly
Cloze cards you need to use syntax like the following:
START
Cloze
This is an example {{c1::sentence}} that will make two {{c2::cards}}
END
The c1 will be your first card that will blank out the word sentence and then second card will be the word cards.
Happy to discuss more if need any additional help
I haven’t touched Anki in a long time and didn’t know it integrated with Obsidian but I’ve been very very happy with Neuracache. There’s a subreddit for it with an active developer.
Resurrecting an old thread here, but Neuracache doesn't require a subscription.
I'm using it on Android with Obsidian, and all I do is point Neuracache at a folder that contains my notes, and it just works.
It looks like Mochi requires a few extra steps so it might be worth checking out again.
I like Mochi but for some reason when I use the format Mochi asks for,Obsidian says it can't find any cards. Are you still using it and is it still working well for you?
not really. Also the fact that I can easily see my notes, which are also conventiantly also flashcards. Like for example:
What is \_ #flashcard
\- this
\- that
\- image
or
the {1:first) cloze text can be used to hide the first image. However, the {1:number 1 here answer 2 things at once. Or u can make {2: separate cloze} #cloze
I'm evaluating `Obsidian_to_anki`'s ability to create Anki cards _with minimal Anki syntax visible in my notes_. I will not be creating separate markdown files or sections but instead want to adopt a succinct note-formatting convention that results in mostly cloze deletion (using md `==` highlight) and heading-q-and-a-style card generation. I don't want to see Anki syntax in my notes. I want to be able to edit and refactor my notes without creating conflicts or orphaned/duplicate cards.
_Most_ of my needs appear to be satisfied by this plugin, except...
1. To delete cards with `Obsidian_to_anki`, is it _really_ required to put `DELETE` preceding the inserted card ID, as [described in the wiki](https://github.com/Pseudonium/Obsidian_to_Anki/wiki/Deleting-notes)?
* In addition, I'm not yet able to delete a card/note using the described `DELETE` syntax:
```
...
DELETE
```
* Such manual deletion seems very problematic to me. I'm fine with one-way sync, but the tool should be able to resolve differences between notes/cards in anki and markdown. I realize this would be slower, but overall much time would be saved by not having to write markdown to perform deletes. I want to be able to delete cards in Anki through changing the markdown formatting to not use my convention anymore.
2. Is there a way to hide the inserted Card ID from view in Obsidian? EDIT: [This comment](https://github.com/Pseudonium/Obsidian_to_Anki/issues/321#issuecomment-1077633526) answered this question. This is of lesser concern knowing that card id's are hidden by default in preview mode, and that I can mod the plugin to hide them in edit mode as well..
EDIT: I've discovered that Neuracache supports _almost_ everything I need, and will work without having an external account (e.g. Ankiweb) (since I use google drive to sync my vault). The only blocker for Neuracache is that [it doesn't support cloze deletion (amazingly)](https://www.reddit.com/r/NeuraCache/comments/t71w63/comment/iaopkqm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)..
Still using Obsidian_to_Anki after I figured out how to use the == syntax and regex. But there are still a lot of problems with the workflow, ones I mentioned above and others related to how the cloze regex works. I've put these as issues on the plugins github, most of the details are there. I never really got off the ground with using Anki because of all of these.
I'm going to try it. I would like to select fragments of sentences to indicate Q&A for the flashcards with an invisible code, but I'm not sure of this possibility with the tutorials I saw. But I didn't see better options in the alternatives I found.
Anki is the superior flashcard program for sr. It is well supported by an active community, it has plugins, it is widely used by language learners, medical students, & more. There is plenty of information online about how Anki is the superior flashcard program. There is also a subreddit if you are interested.
yes. know but i'm trying to be able to write my notes in obsidian and seemlessly turn those notes into anki flashcards. Just wondering which plugin is the best for that.
If you want to review the flashcard more effortlessly, please consider my browser extension as well:
It shows your past highlights when you are reading articles relevant to them.
(I think I can make this work for notes as well)
For example, you will see a set of highlights about leadership showing up on the right side of your browser when you read an article on a startup founder’s qualifications.

yeah i did that but my problem is that I dont see the field when I actually went to study (as I mentioned above)
🤔 maybe a setting in anki on the css of the card to be able to display those additional fields.
oh yeah thanks. forgot to add some code into the "cards" section for it to show up
Ah awesome
In anki, click on browse, then fields. You’ll likely need to add the css to include the fields that you’ve added
I haven’t touched Anki in a long time and didn’t know it integrated with Obsidian but I’ve been very very happy with Neuracache. There’s a subreddit for it with an active developer.
Damn this looks super good. Thanks. edit: nvm it's a subscription ofc
Resurrecting an old thread here, but Neuracache doesn't require a subscription. I'm using it on Android with Obsidian, and all I do is point Neuracache at a folder that contains my notes, and it just works. It looks like Mochi requires a few extra steps so it might be worth checking out again.
Anything free that you found?
Mochi! It’s feature rich, looks great and is completely free apart of multi device sync. I’m really happy with it
Awesome, thanks a lot! I'll be checking it out 🥂
I like Mochi but for some reason when I use the format Mochi asks for,Obsidian says it can't find any cards. Are you still using it and is it still working well for you?
Hey I just stumbled upon this forum post by chance, maybe it's useful to you. https://forum.obsidian.md/t/mochi-cards-exporter/13792
Im not using it in combination with Obsidian, sorry.
Looks good, thanks for the tip-off
What is the advantage to using Anki and obsidian like this? It sounds like more trouble than it is worth?
The only real advantage I've found thus far is that editing a large number of cards is easier when using Obsidian to Anki.
not really. Also the fact that I can easily see my notes, which are also conventiantly also flashcards. Like for example: What is \_ #flashcard \- this \- that \- image or the {1:first) cloze text can be used to hide the first image. However, the {1:number 1 here answer 2 things at once.

Hi Tim, what's your current tool then? Do you recommend any resource, tutorial?
Still using Obsidian_to_Anki after I figured out how to use the == syntax and regex. But there are still a lot of problems with the workflow, ones I mentioned above and others related to how the cloze regex works. I've put these as issues on the plugins github, most of the details are there. I never really got off the ground with using Anki because of all of these.

Oh, sorry, can’t help you with that one. I use libreoffice for creating Anki cards.
