Anki add-on: Youtube to Anki

An Anki addon that generates a full-fledged deck with audio and pictures from a YouTube link using subtitles with the click of a button. This eliminates the need for having to download a video, or the accompanying subtitles, re-timing them, and dealing with TSV files to import. For those of you familiar with Subs2SRS, consider this to be the YouTube version. This addon offers several features: Supports all languages Fallback to automatically generated subs if man-made captions could not be found Set a limit to how many cards are generated Choose the dimensions of the pictures Fast card generation Installation In Tools > Addons , click Get addon and use the code 964531817 Restart Anki for changes to take place If you are a Linux or Mac user, make sure to install ffmpeg using your package manager. Usage Enter the YouTube link for the video Choose the appropriate note type and fields for the card data Specify the subtitle language (default: English) Hit generate. After a bit, refresh your decks, and you should see a deck named after the title of the video Quality of the subtitles TL;DR: In order to get the best learning experience, work with the videos that have high-quality manually generated subtitles (e.g., TED talks). Enable the option "Optimize subtitles" to get sentence-based Anki cards: one card per sentence. The YouTube to Anki (Y2A) extension uses subtitle ranges to cut the corresponding audio fragments out of the downloaded video. If the subtitles are well-crafted by the creators of a YouTube video, the resulting Anki cards will 90%+ perfectly match the audio from the MP3 files generated by the extension. YouTube's videos can have automatically and manually generated subtitles. When a video has manually generated subtitles, it is likely to have: Capitalized sentences and correct punctuation. Subtitle ranges match the actual sentences as they are spoken on a video. For the manually generated subtitles, the Y2A extension provides an optimization that merges the subtitle texts so that the full sentences are formed, one sentence per one Anki card. The optimization relies on the punctuation found in the subtitles, e.g. ".", ",", "?" in order to decide when a sentence should end. The option is enabled with the "Optimize subtitles" flag. Examples of good YouTube videos that can be used for testing this extension: The strongest predictor for success | Angela Lee Duckworth Elon Musk: A future worth getting excited about | TED | Tesla Texas Gigafactory interview When a video has automatically generated subtitles, it is most often that the extension cannot produce good Anki cards: the subtitle text will have neither capitalized letters nor punctuation, and therefore the Anki cards will not be sentence-based.
