AnkiGenGPT is a Python CLI tool that harnesses the power of OpenAI's GPT-3 or GPT-4 model to transform your text into flashcards for Anki, an open-source spaced repetition software.

You can install AnkiGenGPT using pip:

pip3 -U install ankigengpt

Alternatively, you can use pipx for installation:

pipx install ankigengpt

To use AnkiGenGPT, you need an OpenAI API token, which can be provided either through the --openai-token command-line option or via the OPENAI_TOKEN environment variable.

AnkiGenGPT can scan an epub file for text and use ChatGPT to create Anki cards. Here's an example of how to use it:

ankigengpt epub --path ~/Downloads/my-ebook.epub

To generate Anki cards from Kindle highlights, ensure the highlights are in the APA format, and then run the following command:

ankigengpt kindle-highlights --path ~/Downloads/Notebook.html

For Kobo highlights, you can enable the export feature on your Kobo device by connecting it via USB and modifying the .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf file. Add the following under [FeatureSettings]:

[FeatureSettings]
ExportHighlights=true

After enabling export highlights on the Kobo device, you can retrieve the highlight files via USB and use the kobo-highlights command to create Anki cards:

ankigengpt kobo-highlights --path ~/Downloads/BookHighlights.csv

export WALLABAG_URL="https://wallabag.com/"
export WALLABAG_USER=""
export WALLABAG_PASSWORD=""
export WALLABAG_CLIENT_ID=""
export WALLABAG_CLIENT_SECRET=""

ankigengpt plain --path ~/Downloads/book.md

To debug AnkiGenGPT, you can use the --debug option.
