Must-Have Anki Addons for Medical School and How To Use Them 

Apologies, apparently I can't copy and paste correctly, plz don't tell my med school: For the below parts of the video ignore the codes and use these ones: - *Advanced Browser: 874215009* - *Pop-up Dictionary: 153625306*

First of all thanks a lot for your videos! A useful tip for Image Occlusion: You can multi-select fields and group them using the G key. Next, you can select 'Hide One, Guess One' and you will get one card for each group, hiding only one of the groups. Thanks a lot for your videos! They are really helpful and also nicely edited.

Thanks for the great video outlining these add-ons! I hadn't used any and I found ANKI a massive chore (even more when I'm trying to make new cards and build subcategories on them). Just an FYI, I learned this while working at a nuclear plant. When dictating numbers, it's better to chunk them into 3 digits and give a slight pause between them. That way the listener is better able to decipher and understand the number in real-time. (similar to how you chunk numbers into 3-4 for phone numbers, etc.) I had to pause the video to grab the numbers several times to grab the codes. Can't wait to learn more about more effective use of ANKI, thanks again.

You have inspired me to really use Anki. I’ve known about it for years but never used it. I’ve learned so much with your videos. Thank you thank you thank you! The only downside is O haven’t found many anki premade decks to study in spanish. I don’t mind learning in english, it is just a bit harder.

Thanks to your Anki tutorials I am finally able to use it far more effectively than I did in the past. Thank you :)

*Wow so many add-ons I didn't know about!*

Hi Zach. I'm attempting to teach myself Korean. I stumbled across your sites when I was looking for help with Anki. Wow! Am I so glad I landed here 😁 You truly are an awesome presenter and you've given me all the understanding I need to make Anki a powerhouse learning tool. Thank you so much for putting these vids together! I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ what you've done!

Excellent video man, loving your anki videos, I'm not even a doctor but I've learned so much from anki, thanks!

BRO I can't thank u enough, I came up at the right time I'm collecting resources to start over again for S1 I'm IMG from Iraq I perviously used Anki but I didn't know the real Anki as I know now. thanks man really appreciated

Thanks for this man! Really helpful for an efficient Anki review!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos

your videos are very informative and easy to comprehend. ive been looking how to download the image occlusion add on forever and your video had me find it and look for it in a matter of seconds !!!

"customize sidebar" is obsolete, just FYI

custom sidebar isn't supported anymore on 2.54. Is there an alternative for it?

Hi Zach, could you share which Anki version you are using? Some add-ons are not compatible with the latest version. And also, the user interface of the latest version is different.

Many thanks. Keep up the good work!

I found occlude image very good especislly for memorising diagrams which i previously had to use snipping tool and pen to cover the words which wasted a lot of time. Thankd

Thank you so much for helping us beginners

Hi, is it possible for you to share that parasitology deck you showed in the intro?

Hey there Zach, or anyone else -- would you all know why the "Cloze" button would not work when creating a new card? For some reason, I've been trying to make new cards and when I try to make it "cloze". the [...] button is not working. I cannot click on it and I don't know what to do. Someone, help please :(

Great video Zach! Thanks for the tips. I've just started using Anki for step 1 preparation and I already feel like im learning better. I just had a question for the true retention add-on. It's been 2 days im using Anki and im slowly releasing a couple of cards each day depending on my lectures, but I can't see the stats in True Retention (its N/A). Any ideas?

Thanks for your work, Zach! the amboss add-on doesn't show up in a side bar for me. If I click the underlined amboss entry safari opens and I can browse amboss. But not the way it is shown in the video :/ anyone having the same issue?

@Zach Highley, I am unable to add the popup dictionary. It said add on is invalid code or not compatible with my version. I have the latest anki version. How do I look for the newest add on code for pop up dictionary? I am totally new to Anki. Thanks, Zach.

Thanks so much! This inspired me to work on my hundreds of cards that I've been avoiding for the past few days, haha! One ad-on you didn't tell us about: how did you get to customize your background? :o

Thanks a lot famalam. You are awesome for these videos.

How to randomize NEW cards in all subdecks? (ANKI 2.1.49) I am currently on Anking 2.1.49 and using Zanki decks. Now I think Hoochie adds-on aren't available to this Anki version and When I click on the main parent deck "Zanki" I will see new cards from Biochemistry first because that is the first subdeck. Is there a way to get new cards from ALL subdecks randomized?

Hi, how did you organise the cards for the advanced browser add on from most lapses to least (2:06)?

Woow! Amazing video

hi just now saw your videos I'm very new to anki and it seems so confusing,I followed the video but the created tap is not showing on my end it stops at the deck, I already downloaded the add on

zach on your decks page, where the heatmap is, where it says how many cards you've done in a certain amount of time, it also says the average time per card. i was wondering how to get that. thank youu

You saved my life

Hi Zack, thank you for the video, the Pop-Up doesn't work, any alternative?

I want set settings simple in anki like I don't want my cards my cards to show up unsequenced and after few days how do I do that?

Thanks Imma get add ons

Hi Zach, Thank you for your influence on Anki Use. How to upgrade my Anki into the latest version? Is it possible tho?

How to add the amboss thing? I already have a subscription, but I don't know how to add it

i have a problem with heirachial tag that enabled but not working on anki version 2.1.26 also i tried many versions of anki with no solving of problem. Can you help me please ?

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your advice! Nice video! Subscription is garanteed!

Hi, just starting to use Anki but apparently Customise Sidebar can't be used anymore on the newer versions - does anyone know an alternative? Bc I can't find one with a similar name in the add-on list

thanks zach!!

Thank you SO much

Can you make a video on how to update de Anking Deck without losing information or progress, thanks

thank you sir

My Advanced Browser is not working :(( Can't find an add on that works

thank you so much!!!!!!😍😍😍😍

thank you ryan gosling

Is there a way I can show the heading one cloze deletion cards?

Is there add on option in Ankidroid , if used in mobile. I am using but there is no add on option

Should I make a deck for each chapter I study, or for the subject overall?

How do you do that blank out..Do it while creating the cards or? Thanks

What plugin do you have for the today stats at 0:10?

Great work! Do any of these Addons work on mobile devices like my Iphone?

The functionality of this add-on has been implemented in Anki v2.1.41. The addon is obsolete !!!

Hi Zach.. do you have add ons on anesthesiolgy.. 😍

Unfortunately, some codes no longer work :(

This is useful affffffffffff

Looool, you are incredibly cute XD. Loved the video.

Every single thing you described, did not work for me. My Anki deck works and looks just like the original download.

Great video but the code you gave for Advanced Browser is the same you gave for Pop-Up Browser and the same you gave for True Retention. Turns out it's right for True Retention and wrong for the other two. Still great vid, great content, Like and Subscribe!!

Would you say these add-ons, including the Pop Up Dictionary, would be helpful for MCAT Anki decks as well? (Btw you’re a cutie 🥰)

Drink a shot every time he says add-on and ask him what you've got to do with your developping cirrhosis with what he learned using these same add-ons.

Can addons work on the iPad version of Anki?

Customize sidebar doesn't work

dude for real, are we related?

doesnt work

Like :)

sorry it is a shity program it does not import many major file formats no pdf no epub no microsoft office files ( no word no power points to be exact) which most of scientific articles courses and books are published in

Hi ! Thank you so much for your videos. THANK YOU ! : Does Amboss add-On would also be suitable for Biology students ? I mean, is this Amboss library filed only with medical terms or scientific terms in general ? Kind regards, Om
