excellent at making anki more exciting

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.

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.

Hey, Aristotelis! Is it possible to disable auto-fail? Thanks! :)
on
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!

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.

Great for those who constantly get distracted while reviewing

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!

This addon really helps me pound out tons of cards without losing focus. Highly recommended for med students.

huge productivity boost, i love it

Works great! Just what I was looking for.

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.

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.

Good !

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?

Thx

非常棒！素晴らしい！！very nice！！！

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.
