Anki-TouchScreen

Touch screen functionality for Anki

Implements same drawing/writing mechanism as in AnkiDroid. Your writing is NOT intended to remain on the cards after review - same as in AnkiDroid.

Use the menu View β†’ TouchScreen to activate/change settings.

Use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>R</kbd> to toggle the touchscreen.

Use icons which will show up in the top right corner of the review screen to temporarily hide/clean the board. Enjoy!

Warning: the version for Anki 2.0 has limited functionality, and may sometimes not work as expected; since the release of Anki 2.1, the old version is not supported.

Changelog:

  • 0.2.6 - make "undo" action available under <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Z</kbd>
  • 0.2.4 - add support for enhanced image occlusion, add a fix for "a double click bug" by LaucianK
  • 0.2.3 - bug fix release, improvements to undo button, styling and performance
  • 0.2.1 - minor fix for the buttons/canvas positioning
  • 0.2 - added "undo" option, improved the support of long cards plus other minor improvements
