Hey everyone! I’m developing a desktop Anki add-on called Contextual Spaced Repetition and I’m looking for a few language learners to beta-test it.
Instead of reviewing vocabulary as isolated cards, the add-on places several due words into meaningful sentences. You read the sentence, mark the words you couldn’t recall, and the add-on grades the corresponding Anki cards.
The idea is informed by research into spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and learning vocabulary in context. It’s designed to make reviews more meaningful and help strengthen long-term retention, but I need real users to find out how well it works outside my own setup.
I’m especially looking for:
Desktop Anki users on Windows, macOS, or Linux
People learning any language, especially German, Spanish, French, Japanese, or Chinese
Both experienced and relatively new Anki users
Anyone willing to try a few short review sessions and give honest feedback
The initial setup should take only a few minutes, i’ve simplified it, followed by a few short sessions over roughly one week. I’ll provide the add-on file, installation instructions, safety/backup guidance, and a short feedback form.
This is an early beta, so bugs and rough edges are possible. Please start with a backup or a small test deck.
Interested? Send me a DM with your:
Operating system
Anki version
Language you’re learning
Approximate deck size
Thanks! Feedback on everything, from confusing setup to incorrect word matching or whether the review method actually feels useful, would be hugely appreciated.
