Hi Webber. Have you tried the sample decks that Anki installs? There are some JLPT decks to get you started.

By the way, Anki's "suspend fact" feature may be useful to you in skipping Heisig kanji that you don't want to review. I use Anki for RTK.

Vosmiura: Thanks for responding. I heard that there were JLPT decks that came with Anki, but I must have mistaken the "extra decks" on the Anki page for those.

I'm extremely unfamiliar with Anki, and flashcard programs like it, so I hope to figure out how to make my own decks and optimize my grammar, vocab and syntax/usage studies as best I can.
Again, if you or anyone else would like to share decks of sentences with me, I would be endebted to you.

JimmySeal: I just sent you an email. I hope you receive it.

Don't forget about http://repose.cx/anki/wiki/ExtraDecks for sharing decks. Only my stuff there ATM, but it could be a great little resource if we all chip in.

Where are these preinstalled sample JLPT decks you mentioned? I can't find them for some reason...

I still would really appreciate it if people with large decks for grammar, vocab, or sentences would send me theirs. I am really eager to start using this program. I tried making my own deck today, slow going, I have no where close to the amount of time necessary to make a really comprehensive and helpful deck.

Please help me out!

Thanks very much.

Also: Jimmy, did you receive my email? It may have landed in your spam.

is there a way to change the model of a card?

For example in my deck, I have a model for sentences and a model for vocabulary.

If I accidentally enter vocab using the sentence model, can I change it?

On Anki 0.3.6 for Windows, just go from the menu pick Deck -> Open Sample...

The samples are installed in c:\Program Files\Anki\samples on my system.

Hey resolve,
its seems I cant access Anki via my keitai for the last day or so. I just get the　%(username) screen, despite refreshing. Online via computer works fine.
Any ideas?

I have reported this in the Anki bug tracker as well, in the meantime, a workaround is to save a copy of the flash file to your phone on a day when it is working and then load from there.  On my Sharp-Softbank phone though, I have to click yes allow network access for each card so its less than optimal.  If you read back a page or two in this thread you can see resolves instructions on how to do this.

I can't see any sane reason why that would be happening. It could be a bug in python. Restarting the server makes it go away (it should be fixed again now)

Seems like a dumb question, but, does the mac version of anki work on iPod or iPhone? I am guessing they don't. It's like asking whether the windows version of it works on a windows mobile device... hmm

Resolve,
I'm using Anki on Ubuntu 7.10, and it works fine except for the graph utility. When I click on the グラフ button an error comes out saying "matplotlib appears to be broken".

I have tried reinstalling matplotlib (from the repository) and Anki a few times, but the problem remains. The graphs worked fine on Ubuntu 7.04, with the same matplotlib package.

It's probably a specific problem with my configuration, but I thought I'd tell you in case you already dealt with something like this before and know an easy fix for it.

atreya: it might be possible, but I lack such a device to test on. Until someone who owns such a device comes along and ports it, you'll need to use something else.

nac_est: it's not the same - ubuntu upgraded to a new version, which is broken. Search for matplotlib on the anki tracker. :-)

Let me be the 1056th person to come to this thread for help.

I've been using Anki for about a month now, and I've found it to be an excellent study aid. many thanks to resolve for all his time and effort!

However, recently I've been unable to log in (on Mac OS X). I get this message:

Anki Error
An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script.

EOFError:

And then the options to "open console" or "terminate".

I've tried reinstalling, but have had no luck.

does anyone have any ideas?

Ahaa, how difficult is it to actually accomplish such a thing (porting i.e.) How much of programming experience does one require?

django: that indicates that your deck was corrupted. look in ~/.anki/backups for a backup copy of the deck, and copy it over your existing version (backing up your existing version just in case)

atreya: if you have to ask.. ;-)

but if you can compile qt for it, it'll probably work.

I am quite a noob as far as programming is concerned, and that's why I asked about the experienced required. What is qt? I hope I am not going off topic ^_^

You'll need to jailbreak your iphone, then download the mac version of http://trolltech.com/products/qt and compile it.

Thanks for the feedback. Fraid I don't have a backup copy of the deck, or even the .anki/backups folder. So I backed up all my decks, then deleted them and redownloaded anki, but still the same mesage.

I'm sure you have a backup directory - Anki would complain if it couldn't create it. ~/ means your home directory.

agreed. however, i've searched my hard drive for all files and folders containing either the words 'anki' or 'backup' and have found no likely candidates for a backup folder.

Open a terminal. Type:

ls -l ~/.anki/backups

Done. But why can't I see my backup folders in the finder?
