PDF to Anki
Introduction
PDF to Anki program using GPT3.5-turbo from OpenAI. Streamlit is the web-GUI. Shout-out to OpenAI and Streamlit for saving me a ton of work!
Requirements:
- An OpenAI API key
- Anki running with AnkiConnect installed (Addon #: 2055492159)
If compiling to run locally:
- An OpenAI key
- Needs to be added as OPENAI_API_KEY="[Key here]" in .streamlit\secrets.toml
Usage:
- Add an OpenAI API key.
- Choose a PDF file.
- Select a page range and a deck for the flashcards to be added to.
- Flash cards are generated for each page and can then be modified before being added to Anki.
Note: App adds a custom note type so that there is no issue with note's name and fields being in another language.
To do:
- Add option to log in to save preferences
- Check if dependencies are all really needed
- Allow user to change prompt options
