Feynman Audio - NB

This add-on lets you record audio directly while reviewing cards in Anki Desktop.

When you are in review mode, it adds:

• A small microphone icon in the top-right corner of the reviewer
• A keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+R

Reviewer view

This is how the microphone button appears while you are reviewing a card.

When you click the icon or use the shortcut, the add-on:

• Opens the current note in Edit Current
• Records audio
• Inserts the new audio into the field you selected for that note type

Recording flow

After you trigger the shortcut, Anki opens the current note and starts recording into the configured field.

How it works

The target field is set separately for each note type.

To choose a field:

1. Open Tools > Review Audio Shortcut Settings
2. Select your note type
3. Select the field where you want audio to be inserted
4. Click Save field

This is the settings window where you choose the target field.

The add-on remembers:

• The saved field for each note type
• The last note type you worked on in the settings window

Important behavior

• The reviewer icon is enabled by default
• If no field has been selected for the current note type, the add-on shows a warning telling you to open Tools > Review Audio Shortcut Settings
• If the saved field is no longer valid because the note type changed, the add-on will not insert audio until you choose a valid field again
• If the target field already has text or audio, the new audio is added at the top of that field

Installation

1. Copy the add-on folder into your Anki addons21 directory
2. Restart Anki

Compatibility

• Anki Desktop only
• The microphone icon and shortcut work only while reviewing cards
