Usage

CSV to Anki Conversion

To convert a CSV file into an Anki deck package:

python csv2ankicards.py /path/to/your/csvfile.csv output.apkg

This will produce an output.apkg file which can then be imported into Anki.

CSV Format

The CSV file should follow this format:

Front,Back
Your question here,Your answer here
Another question,list of: answer1, answer2, answer3
...

Note: If your answers contain commas, they will be considered as part of the answer. Only the first comma is used to separate the question from the answer.

Image to Text Conversion

To convert images from a directory to a single text file using OCR:

python images2text.py /path/to/your/image_directory/

This will produce a final.txt file which contains the text extracted from the images.

Supported Image Formats

Currently supported formats for the images are: .png, .jpg, and .jpeg.
