The add-on requires a field called Audio
, or that contains the word
Audio
, to put the downloaded data.
While adding or renaming fields in Anki isn’t too hard, a short guide might be helpful.
Step one: Try
![Anki with a card shown and the
mouse pointing to the menu item
Edit/Media/Manual audio.](images/manual_audio.png)
When you downloaded a shared deck that already has some audio data,
it may work without any change. Start reviewing the new deck. On the
first card, try the menu item
Edit/Media/Manual audio
.
![Dialog window with text
starting Requests to send to the download sites](images/preview_audio.png)
When a dialog with Requests to send to the download sites
and with
the right word in the edit box appears you are in luck and your model
already works with this add-on.
![Anki with a card shown
and a message reading nothing to download](images/nothing_to_download.png)
Before you go on
Adding fields or changing field names requires a full upload of the collection. Make sure you sync before you do this.
When you learn with mobile devices or with AnkiWeb, sync on these remote clients first. Then sync your desktop client. Only then start checking the field list.
Checking the field list
When the download test didn’t work, you should click on the Edit
button in the bottom left.
![Edit current window with fields
Front and Back.](images/front_back.png)
![Edit current window with fields
Französisch, Deutsch ...](images/id_franz_de.png)
Französisch
.Take a look at the field list and decide for which field or fields you would like to download data.
Then click on the Fields…
button.
Adding an audio field
In the Fields for NN
dialog, click on Add
Add for the first field
![Dialog with text Field name:
and input text Audio.](images/add_for_base.png)
When you want to download for the first field, just type Audio
for
the new field name. Then click OK
.
Add for other field
![Anki review window with a
picture of a bird in the first field and the word l'oiseau in the
second field. That word and the field name Back are marked. To the
right a dialog with the field names. The word Back is marked. Below a
dialog. Text: Field name. Text input: Back Audio. The
word Back is marked.](images/add_not_first.png)
Alternatively, when the field you want to download for is not the
first field, you should use that field’s name, followed by
Audio
. Then click OK
here, too.
In the example, sending pictures of birds to GoogleTTS would not
work. So we look for interesting text in the Edit Current
window: l’oiseau
, marked in red with a 1
in
the image. That text is in the field named Back
(blue 2). That
field name appears again in the Fields for NN
dialog (blue 3). Use this field name together with the word
Audio
as the new field name. In this case, use Back
Audio
. (blue 4)
The warning
![Dialog with text The requested
change will require a full upload of the database when you next
synchronize your collection. If you have reviews or other changes
waiting on another device that haven't been synchronized here yet,
they will be lost. Continue?](images/sync_warning.png)
At this point, a warning dialog may appear. If you are not sure about
this, click No
, sync changes from remote devices to this
collection and do the steps above again. If you are sure, click
Yes
.
More fields
You can add more than one audio field to download from more than one source field by repeating the Add for other field step.
Rename fields
![Anki review window. Text:
Übersetzen Ja, mein Herr. Oui monsieur. 00906. Below, a dialog
window. Text: Requests send to the download sites ID 00906](images/00906.png)
00906.
When the test above tried to download from a wrong field, you have to rename the audio field. Doing this is similar to adding an audio field.
![On the left: Window with a list
of fields with their content, ID:00906, Französisch:Oui,
monsieur, Deutsch: Ja, mein Herr and
Audio:sound:00906.mp3. Französisch is marked in blue, Oui,
monsieur in red and Audio in yellow. To the
right a dialog with the field names. Französisch is marked in blue,
Audio is selected and marked in yellow. Below a
dialog. Text: New name. Text input: Französisch Audio. Französisch is
marked in blue, Audio in yellow.](images/change_name.png)
Audio. Add the name of the source field to the name.
- Start reviewing.
- From the main window, click the
Edit
button in the bottom left. - Look at the field list:

, blue)
- There should be a field named
- Click the
Fields…
button - The two field names, (
Französisch
andAudio
), appear in the list and are marked in blue and yellow. - Click on
Audio
to select the field. - Then click the
Rename
button. - As the new name, add the other field’s name to the old
name. (
Französisch Audio
orAudio Französisch
, either will work.) - Click
OK
. The warning may pop up.
Go back
When you are finished with setting up the fields, simply click
Close
in the Fields for NN
dialog and Close
again
in the Edit Current
dialog.
