Anki add-on: Pindu Chinese

Pindu (Chinese), Anki Add-on, v1.20.0 Pindu Add-On Page www.readpindu.com Pindu Demo on Youtube Introduction Note: Pindu currently supports Mandarin Chinese (中文) using either 简体字 or 繁体字. Sign up at www.readpindu.com to be alerted when other languages are supported. Note: Some features require an OpenAI and/or OpenRouter API key. Pindu extends Anki's spaced repetition system with an extensive reading engine and a reader interface that help you build reading comprehension and vocabulary. "Build text from your Anki collection, then get credit for reading it." Instead of reviewing isolated vocabulary cards, you read text that is calibrated to your level and is engineered to contain the Anki-managed words that you care about. This approach makes vocabulary review more engaging, and it also builds real fluency via reading comprehension. You can swap back and forth between Anki's normal system and Pindu's system at any time; they are complementary and work together to help you acquire language faster.
