**Problem:**

I’ve tried several AI flashcard tools such as AnkiBrain and AnkiDecks. I even searched GitHub, but I couldn’t find a working solution. None of them give me the output format I want.

For example:

 ![Fig.2 The first sentence](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/c/8/c81609a5270466741a4bce91f212da7d563749fa.png)

 ![Fig.3 The second sentence](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/8/f/8fe9389ca117d7034f0af8466acd99e05a221bcf.png)

Flashcard Type: _Type-in answer_

Front of Card

- Use only one sentence per flashcard. (Sentences in the Word file are separated by paragraph marks.)
- Replace each highlighted word or phrase with underscores of the same length.
- Give a B1–B2 level explanation of each removed word or phrase, focusing on its meaning within the sentence. Keep the explanation simple, clear, and complete.
- Add one picture at the end that visually represents the meaning of the removed word or phrase.

Back of Card

- List all removed words or phrases exactly as they appear in the original sentence.
- Separate each item with a semicolon (;).

**Question:**  
What’s the best approach to build this myself? I have basic Python and C skills—what steps can I follow to reach this goal?

Thank you for your kind help!
