Hello Anki community, I’m loveAnkisomuch.
Anki is an incredibly powerful tool for memory retention and active recall. When it comes to Anki, we typically use the two most popular Cloze types:
1. The default Cloze created and developed by Damien Elmes: Perfect for processing short pieces of information.
2. Image Occlusion by ankiglutanimate: The expert in handling visual information and diagrams.
Today, I am thrilled to introduce to you the “3rd Cloze type” developed by myself: Smart Cloze Pro (SCP) - the ultimate solution for long, multilingual, and multimedia texts.
The problem we often face: The default Cloze note type is great, but it has a limitation. When dealing with long and complex texts, 100% of us are forced to “manually” chunk the information. This not only consumes time but also fragments the big picture of the document.
If you are a cardiovascular surgeon or a history lecturer who frequently reads a massive volume of bilingual (English - Vietnamese) specialized documents, you would understand my “obsession” with having to sit and crop every single long sentence to put into Anki.
The Solution - What is Smart Cloze Pro (SCP)? Based on the idea of overcoming that limitation, combined with some prior programming experience, I developed SCP as a mini-webapp embedded directly into Anki’s default Cloze note type.
SCP’s philosophy is: “Input Everything, See Only What You Need”.
Outstanding features of SCP:
-
Smart content & context extraction: Smoothly handles ultra-long texts. I have practically tested it with 250 to 20,000 words (equivalent to 1 to 50 A4 pages) and the cards remain lag-free, perfectly preserving the context.
-
Complex multilingual text support: Capable of understanding and processing up to 13 different intertwined languages within a single card.
-
Diverse active recall stimuli: Built-in typing practice (spelling check) and an incredibly smart Auto Multiple Choice Question (Auto MCQ) generator.
-
Flexible customization: You can freely tweak the interface and behavior of the card according to your personal needs.
SCP will undoubtedly save you dozens of hours chopping up documents, retain your learning context, and maximize your review productivity.

I look forward to receiving your contributions and feedback so that SCP can become even better!
