If you don’t want to use the type-your-answer feature, you can use Change Note Type to switch this note to another of the default note types, like “Basic” – [Browsing - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/browsing.html#notes) .

Sorry, I meant not to show the second line.

I’m not understanding the difference. It seems like you don’t want to see the corrected version of your answer, but this is obviously not a good example of this sort of card, because you wouldn’t use type-answer to type the exact same word you see on the front of the card.

In a real example, this would be more like a front with –  
`hola`  
and a type-your-answer box where you could enter –  
`hello`

If you mistyped that as `hellu`, it wouldn’t be useful to have the “u” marked wrong on the back, but have no indication of what the right letter/answer was. A type-answer card needs a correction.

The idea is that only the voice is heard.  
Remove the words hello from the first line. And try to remember the words that I marked in red. Try to remember the missing one.  
And put a show word button. If I have trouble remembering it.

I feel like this is more of a feature request.

Then I don’t think you need a type-answer note at all, since you don’t want the text comparison aspect of it. I think you just need a generic text box that will hold on to what you type and show it to you on the back. Take a look at these for some ideas:

Here is a card template example: play_button Front templateplay_button Back template I have tested the card template on Anki PC(2.1.38), AnkiDroid, and AnkiWeb. FYI, it might be better to use [anki-persistence](https://github.com/SimonLammer/anki-persistence) for data persistence between front and back.
