Description
Answer Typing Box
Adds a plain multiline typing box to selected decks in desktop Anki. The box matches your card background and text colour, with no extra labels or buttons.
- Type your practice answer before revealing the model answer.
- Your text stays visible when you reveal the answer and clears on the next card.
- Choose individual decks, including their subdecks, or apply it to all decks.
- Cards with an existing typing box are left alone. Native Anki type-answer cards are skipped by default.
- Temporary practice notes are not graded or saved as answer history.
Setup
Restart Anki after installation. Open Tools → Answer Typing Box, select your decks and save. No decks are selected by default.

For desktop Anki with Qt6. This add-on does not run on AnkiMobile, AnkiDroid or AnkiWeb.
Package and Python filter tests: 26 passed. JavaScript state tests: 7 passed, including persistence after revealing the answer and reset on the next card. Installed-app review and settings-dialog verification are still pending.
The add-on does not modify notes, card templates or scheduling and does not make network requests.
