Memrise card template [support thread]

Anki Card Design

That’s not possible, unfortunately. The audio playback is handled by Anki, and cards have little control over it. They can only send a call to start a playback of a certain file, but not stop it or check, if it has finished playing. There are several ways around it, however:

  1. Increase the overall delay for cards with sentences (this won’t work very well if the sentences’ lengths vary too much, since either long ones will continue to be cut short, or the shorter ones will have redundant silence at the end)
  2. Disable Interrupt current audio when answering in global preferences. This will prevent audio from being cut off even when a card is flipped to the next one. It can be used in combination with the previous method to a good effect.
  3. autorateGood() in addition to being activated on timeout is also triggered by pressing Enter (if you are using the complimentary add-on). It might not be as convenient as fully automatic flip, but probably still slightly better than using Anki buttons.

That’s a possibility, but I already have quite a few other major updates planned ahead:

  1. The one, currently in development, is about to add support for the iPhone app and multiple-choice questions with images as options, as well as a number of quality-of-life improvements related to customization
  2. After that I plan to make a UI for generating template variations for different set-ups (fields, directions of testing, types of questions, layout settings, etc.), similar to how course settings for creators work on Memrise.
  3. From the previous step it should be straightforward enough to make an automatic importing procedure for courses downloaded from Memrise, including study progress, and maybe also automatic updates for the template itself.

All of this will easily take all the time till the end of the year, and probably even then some. But after that I should finally be able to get to making support for other types of cards – multiple-choice with audio, tapping questions, close deletion … – and other requested functionality improvements, such as detailed control over typed answer checking or randomized questions.

This should be possible, but I’m not exactly sure, how this is supposed to work for questions with several omitted parts?
