# AnkiAI
AnkiAI is a robust system that converts images containing text into structured Anki cards using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and OpenAI's GPT-4 language model. Users can quickly generate decks of flashcards from their images for effective study.
## Features
- Converts image content to textual content using OCR.
- Uses OpenAI's GPT-4 model to structure the content into Anki decks and cards.
- Outputs the structured content as an Anki package.
## Dependencies
- genanki: Used for creating Anki decks and cards.
- Pillow: Image processing library.
- openai: API library for OpenAI's GPT-4 model.
- flask: Web server to host the service.
## Setup and Installation
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://git.rudefox.io/bj/anki-json2ankicards.git
cd json2ankicards
```
2. Set up a virtual environment and activate it:
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
3. Install the required packages:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Set up the OpenAI API key:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
```
5. Run the server:
```bash
python server.py
```
## Usage
1. Start the server as mentioned above.
2. Use a tool like [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) or `curl` to send images to `http://localhost:5000/deck-from-images` as a multi-part POST request.
3. The server will respond with a downloadable Anki package. Import this into your Anki app and start studying!
## Modules
1. **ankiai.py**: The main module that orchestrates the flow.
2. **images2text.py**: Converts image content into text using OCR.
3. **json2deck.py**: Converts structured JSON data into an Anki package.
4. **prompt4cards.py**: Uses OpenAI to structure the content into Anki decks and cards.
5. **server.py**: Flask server to host the service.
