Anki TTS Auto Assigner

πŸ”— AnkiWeb
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/474218374


What this add-on does

Anki TTS Auto Assigner automatically assigns Text-to-Speech (TTS) tags to notes based on their fields,
so that Anki can generate spoken audio without manually editing each card.

It is designed to make TTS usage automatic, consistent, and scalable, especially for large decks.


Core Features

  • πŸ”Š Automatically adds TTS tags to notes
  • πŸ“ Works based on field content (e.g. Question / Answer)
  • 🌍 Language-aware assignment (per field)
  • πŸ” Supports batch processing
  • πŸͺΆ Lightweight: no audio files are generated or stored
  • βš™οΈ Uses Anki’s built-in TTS engine (no external services)

How It Works

  1. You select notes (or run it on a target set)
  2. The add-on inspects configured fields
  3. Appropriate TTS tags are inserted automatically
  4. Anki handles playback using its native TTS system

This means:

  • No MP3 files
  • No media folder bloat
  • Instant playback on supported platforms

Why Use Auto TTS Assignment?

Manually adding TTS tags is:

  • Time-consuming
  • Error-prone
  • Inconsistent across large decks

This add-on ensures:

  • Uniform TTS formatting
  • Fast setup for thousands of notes
  • Easy maintenance when note types change
