Introduction

Paper2Anki is your way to write your flashcards. Goodnotes 5 released a gamechanger in my opinion. You just write your flashcards,and you can study with them. However, I don't like the idea of only learning in Goodnotes and their algorithm needs some work imo. So I decided to create a way to make flashcards in Goodnotes (Or any other notes app) and export them to Anki!

How to create flashcards

It's just as simple as writing!
You just write on each page your Question on the top half of the page and the answer on the bottom part. Then you just need to export your document as a pdf. So each of your page should look like this:

Requirements

• Make sure you have python3 installed.
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt
  to install the packages required to run the script.

Usage

This script is run within the terminal.

Windows

For Windows type cmd in the search bar and then just follow the steps.

Linux

You should know what the terminal is.

MacOS

Open spotlight and search there for Terminal and then just follow the steps.

Use

1. Run python paper2anki.py YOURFILE.PDF NAME
   So you give the program 2 Arguments:
   1. The PDF file which contains the flash cards
   2. The name you wish the deck to have.
2. Import the .apkg file into Anki
3. Study
