Speed Focus Mode (auto-alert, auto-reveal, auto-fail)

0.05MB. Updated 2019-06-02.
The author has shared 62 other item(s).

Description

       Trains your attention and speed by performing automated actions if you take too long to go through your reviews. Three different levels of 'encouragements' are provided: All of these can be configured individually for each deck options group. SCREENSHOTS CHANGELOG Version 0.3.0 – 2019-06-02 Fixed Changed You can view all past releases here. USAGE
  1. Open deck options
  2. Navigate to the 'General' tab
  3. Find the three new options as shown in the screenshot above and configure them to your liking
The alert and answer reveal timeout refer to seconds spent on the question side, while the auto-'again' timer starts counting after revealing the question. Setting any of the timers to 0 will disable them. CONFIGURATION You can customize the alert sound by replacing alert.mp3 in the add-on folder with a sound file of your choice. Just make sure that it's named the same and sporting the same file format. HELP AND SUPPORT Please do not use reviews for bug reports or support requests. I don't get notified of your reviews, and properly troubleshooting an issue through them is nearly impossible. Instead, please either use the issue tracker (preferred), add-on support forums, or just message me at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com. Constructive feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Basically perfect. Wish it branded itself as auto-advance to make it easier to find. Ankimobile (ios) labels this feature as auto advance so many users will be searching for that. There's another addon that I tried and it didn't work at all.

Convenient for faster brain training
on 1606723941
SUGGESTION: Add an option for the default anki text to speech to start the reveal answer timer AFTER the TTS has finished saying the front. Maybe make it adjust to the length of the front? sth like that so you have time to read it/interpret it

auto reveal for not slowing down in some cards is gold!! +1

l have just started using it and it is amazing. Thanks so much for this creative add on:)

l want to share my experience so you can help me l think. When there is a voice record on my front card, it automatically stops playing it after " automatically play after ... seconds". On my front card usually l have some sentences and voice records. And sometimes the sentences are short, sometimes long. Lets say l set the "automatically play after" in 2 seconds. And my sentence voice record is 4 or 5 seconds. In this situation voice record is interrupted and l can not listen to the whole sentence. l have to repeat the sentence coice record to listen again. lf l arrange it for the longest sentence, l lose a lot of time:) So lf there is a way to solve this problem please let me know:) lf not then l will be so happy if Glutanimate check this issue:)) Thanks in advance...

on 1601562361
So good, but the sound won't play unless the "automatically play alert after" is less seconds than "automatically show answer after", e.g.
automatically play alert after = 19 (sound will work since it will be played earlier than the option below)
automatically show answer after = 20

Keep that in mind folks.

Hi I love this add-on but I am not able to use the hotkey for pausing the speed mode. I tried disabling my other add ons but it still does not seem to work. Any idea why this could be happening?

on 1595800195
Why is there no option to automatically press good rather than again?
Comment from author
The add-on's original intent was to encourage rapid progression through flashcards, "punishing" being too slow by either playing an alert, revealing the answer, or failing the card. Passing a card with good didn't really fit into that concept.

However, the add-on has evolved since then and you'll find that the current beta release does have an option to press good. You can download the beta here (it's a beta though, so caveat emptor): https://github.com/glutanimate/speed-focus-mode/releases/tag/v0.4.0-beta.1

Would appreciate it if you updated your rating, though, as leaving a downvote for a feature request on a free add-on is not a cool thing to do (especially if that request has already been fulfilled).
on 1595299054
good
on 1594944977
Great add-on. One thing that would be lovely however is a specific way to control the alerts volume. Thanks!!
on 1594858483
I like it, it helps me stay focused, just like it says on the can, and I like that I can customize it to my preferences. The only thing I don't like, as some others have pointed out, is that it interrupts audio. If possible, please implement an option to avoid that. I would rather miss the audio cue for the time limit approaching for a few cards than get my audio cards interrupted.
on 1594474869
Thank you, this is tremendously helpful! Any updates on the pause button? REALLY would make this add on perfect. :)

This is a really good way to keep you disciplined and focused. Sometimes, answering the questions on cards, I go into the clouds of thoughts. That sounds makes me wake up and come back to Earth. Thank you, developer! Changes Anki experience tremendously!

Edit 06/06 :
Yes, the problem is related to beta, I forgot that I was using beta. With the AnkiWeb version everything works. Sorry!!
Comment from author before post was edited
Hi there! I think you're referring to this issue, right?: https://github.com/glutanimate/speed-focus-mode/issues/28
If so, it looks like it only affects the current beta release of the add-on. The AnkiWeb version should work fine on 2.1.26 (barring any other unknown issues).
on 1591203774
I don't really understand why anyone would want to hit "again" for all their cards? Any chance you can customize this so we can have the option to select "good" instead

It has been a long since the add-on "Later Not Now" was removed from Ankiweb. I've been thinking about combining it with this add-on (Speed Focus Mode), in order to use my time doing Anki more effectively. So that, my reviews would be something like: -I listen to the audio of the card just once -10 secs: shows the answer 15 secs: plays the alert and I want to rate the flashcard before the timer reaches 20 secs; If I do well, I rate the card as ''Good'' , but if I don't, I rate it as: Later Not Now, instead of suspending the card. That way, the card would just "go back to the queue". 1- Will the author re-release it someday? 2- Are there plans to bring "Later Not Now" back to Ankiweb? :D Having both add-ons (combined) at my disposal would be great! ;)
on 1582034695
Noticeably boosts focus, just make sure to set it up in a way that works for your needs.
on 1581844670
awesome
on 1580509341
I get distracted by going to other applications, how can I have the alert bring back the Anki window to the front in addition to the pop up message?
on 1579824592
Puts functionality back in that seems to have been taken out of Anki in the transition from version 2.0.x to 2.1.x, namely, the ability to automatically show the answer to cards after x amount of seconds. And the additional features this offers are neat too :D

Works great and speeds up my review time. I was getting confused with how long it took to auto-fail and move on but I figured it out.
on 1568858704
Not sure if it is this add-on's problem. It seems auto-reveal answer will interrupt audio play. Like if I set auto-reveal answer after 3 seconds, the audio play will stop after 3 seconds even though it is not finished playing. But the length of audio play or number of audios varies every card and this add-on only can set fixed time elapse. I don't have this problem on Anki 2.0 with Automatically show answer after X seconds. Hope this add-on don't interrupt audio play. Let Anki play all audios.
on 1568269388
I like it but there should be a Pause button, there are times were I need to pause when I'm taking notes or using the add-on Built-in Dictionary and have to read something but cannot.
Also when I hit "E" to edit a card the sound is still playing even though im in the middle of editing a card.

I think it's safe to say this can double anyone's review time and when dealing with something so time consuming like big collections and lifelong learning SRS, this is perfect.

I was feeling a little down with anki and feeling bad wasting too much time of time there, so I decided to spice things up with add-ons. This is what I was looking for, and even more, for productivity. I'm also using VIM keys (hjkl) for one-handed review.

When we have loads and loads of cards and need to study more effectively in order literally change our lives, any help is good.

Great. But I only use it for reviewing, not for learning.
So I changed
autoAgainTimeout = setTimeout(function () { %s("ease1"); }, ms);
to
autoAgainTimeout = setTimeout(function () { %s("ease2"); }, ms);
This way it automatically answers good.

excellent at making anki more exciting
on 1550444867
One solution for the problem with the long cards would be to create different decks according to how much time it takes to answer the cards. For example one could have three decks, "5 seconds", "10 seconds", 15 seconds" with different settings each.
With this addon the user has to make less decisions, which as a result makes the usage of anki less strenuous. It makes it easy. One of the best addons! If you set the timer to 3 seconds show card,5 seconds rate again you can easily do 500 cards in half an hour!

Brilliant add-on. It has SIGNIFICANTLY accelerated my reviews and reduced boredom.
on 1546088008
This addon revolutionized my Anki life. Only minor problem I have is that some cards require more time than others. I answer most cards within 10s, but some cards require more time, even if I know them perfectly. So it would be ideal if there was a way to up the timer on a card-by-card basis. A messy workaround could be to have multiple alerts, one for short cards and one for longer cards. In the case of long cards you'd just pretend you didn't see the first alert.
on 1544180955
Hey, Aristotelis! Is it possible to disable auto-fail? Thanks! :)
on 1544060507
I really love this addon. But I can't use it for my decks. Here is why ...

I have a sugggestion: It would be absolutely AWESOME to add an option like "add x seconds per word" (add answer time per word on the question card). My deck consists of short words, but also of longer phrases and complete sentences. And I guess since "sentence mining" is a fix term in the language learner community, many other learners also have such a mixed deck. With such an option, many people could use this Anki addon without having to deactivate it each time a longer phrase comes along (and therefore not really being able to use it at all). Anyways, keep uop the good work!
on 1543637182
It's really helpful. I was eager for this addon when I use 2.0 because I usually forget to press the answer key and waste time for thinking, not remembering. Upgrading to 2.1 is a good choice.
on 1538907406
Great for those who constantly get distracted while reviewing
on 1535493264
My Japanese reviews were seriously starting to feel like torture, so I tried this out. I set the alert at 3 seconds and automatic reveal at 5 seconds. This seriously boosted my productivity in several ways:

- Gaming element - Trying to beat the clock is fun and makes me want to review more
- Save time by objectively quantifying hard vs good - Don't have to waste time deciding between choices as long as I know the answer:
- Easy: Instantly
- Good: Before the alert
- Hard: After the alert
- Again: After the automatic reveal

This add-on seriously makes reviews so much quicker and accurate. I'm not willowing about trying to figure out a card, spending way too much time, and then inaccurately rating how well I did, which would mess up my intervals. This makes Anki actually fun!

Great thanks to Glutanimate for making an incredible add-on!
on 1534091555

Trying to "beat" the card before the alarm goes off is a fun, game-like element. This has let me increase the speed of my reviewing, as well as my level of focus. Great add-on.
on 1520812800
Good! But can you please add options auto-easy, auto-good, auto-hard? It will be greater with these.
For example:
We set: before 3s auto-easy, after 3s auto-good, after 10s auto-hard, after 20s auto-again& auto-reveal.
When reviewing a card, question is showed, we press "Space bar" the 1st time to show answer and as normally, if we continue to press the "space bar" the 2nd time, the card will be automatically rated as "good".
But with this add-on, when we press the "space bar" the 2nd time, the card will be auto-rated as in the option we set at the begining. Besides, we can also click to choose the "again", "hard", "good", "easy" buttons if we think the result is not exact.

Please also add this option:
Automatically rate as "good" and showing the next card. That's what really makes it all automatic.
Actually giving user the option to choose if the automatic rate would be "good" or "again" after a certain time.

Yet another great release. The auto-alert option helps me focus without revealing the answer or failing the card, which are still there if someone needs them. Thanks so much.

This is great, is there a way to change it to good instead of again?

Nice! I comissioned this add-on, so would I spend no longer than 5 seconds on each of my cards.

Having a time-limit for each card helps me focus, helps me stay on the track when I'm studying.

And if I study 1 card every 5 seconds, I can do a total of 720 cards per hour. This is my dream add-on, which is why I comissioned it.

My cards are mostly long sentences, which is why my time-limit is 5 seconds per card. If you are doing individual words, you can set your time limit to something like 2 seconds.

Getting a penalty for being slow... (the answer showing automatically or the card hitting the Again button) ... is really great to increase your focus.
