Creating Anki Cards from Text on iPad Using Perplexity.ai

Anki Card Design
1

Hello Anki community,I’m looking for some guidance on how to create Anki flashcards using just my iPad. I have a text passage that I want to convert into a question-and-answer format for my Anki decks. Specifically, I would like to know how to use the Perplexity.ai app to generate these flashcards and save them in CSV format, which I can then import into the web version of Anki through Safari on iOS.Here’s what I’m hoping to achieve:

  • Use Perplexity.ai to input my text passage.
  • Generate a set of flashcards in a Q&A format.
  • Save these flashcards as a CSV file directly on my iPad.
  • Import this CSV file into the web version of Anki using Safari.

If anyone has experience with this process or can provide step-by-step instructions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your help!Best regards!

Hi, I was actually able to do a bulk import on the Anki app on my iPhone. I’m not sure if this is a new feature or not, but here’s how I did it:

  1. I created my flash cards on Google Sheets
  2. I copied and pasted it into an online .txt file maker on Safari (I used edit pad dot org)
  3. I downloaded the .txt file
  4. I clicked on it in the download tab in Safari
  5. It automatically opened in Anki, allowing me to alter the settings before importing the cards in bulk

I was very surprised this automatically opened in Anki. I was even more surprised I was able to import these cards in bulk, given that I can’t seem to find any settings in the app that allows this, and everywhere online says you can’t import in bulk on your iPhone. But, I did it! So, I hope this also works for you!
