Type in answer without the comparisons

Anki Card Design

Hi there, I’ve been trying to remove the “------” in a type in answer card and just see my typed in answer without the dashes:

Anyone can assist me with this

Do you only want to remove the “----” or do you want to hide every character you missed?

I just want the dashes to be removed so there is no comparison between my answer and the “correct” answer, just so I can reference it myself since the answers are lengthy. The dashes are just a bit annoying to read as there are a lot of dashes in-between letters

I’ll ask another way because it is quite confusing without pictures. See this picture:

In that picture you correctly typed ample (green), you incorrectly typed s (red) and you missed / didn’t type ex (gray).

The dashes and the ex part can both be hidden with

.typeMissed {
	display: none;
}

But:

This sounds like you do not want the colors on the back, including no “—”. In other words: Your answer is “This is the answer” and you want to have “This is the answer” shown to you as normal black text (like with the answers in basic cards). Is that correct?

You’re right that type-answer fields are only appropriate for short answers where spelling is important. To stop using that functionality –

  • If you are using a default note type – select the notes you want to change – Notes > Change Note Type – switch from “Basic (type in your answer)” to “Basic”.

  • If you are using a custom note type – change your type-answer field back to a regular field replacement. Field Replacements - Anki Manual
