Description

Show HN: Hanky – ETL style framework for loading flash cards into Anki It makes it easy to hit API's, web scrape, do text-to-speech via online services etc in order to build rich flash cards in an automated way.

This has grown organically over a couple of years while learning French and German with some friends and thought some of you guys might find it useful.

An example pipeline I built with Hanky:

- Use CV to grab highlighted words and their context off of a page of printed text (extract)

- translate the highlighted word via an API (transform)

- generate audio with a tts service (transform)

Then load all that into anki as flash cards (load)

Keen to hear any feedback and hope you find it useful.
