This is a CLI tool to help you study a foreign language.
Given an Anki deck (input.txt) and some options (config.ts), uses AI to generate a short story that makes use of a random selection of the vocab the user is learning in a foreign language.
There's also a web version available at https://ankistorywriter.fordesoft.com/ with source code at https://github.com/Josh1billion/anki-story-writer-react
Decide whether you want to use Llama3 (running locally, free but requires a beefy GPU) or ChatGPT (using their API, which is not free).
If you want to use Llama3, install Ollama and use that to get Llama3 running locally on port 11434.
If you want to use ChatGPT instead, make the following two changes in config.ts, First, change useChatGPT to true. Second, paste your OpenAI API key into openAIApiKey.
Install Node.js
Run npm install
Export an Anki deck's cards into input.txt. You can do this in the desktop version of Anki (not AnkiWeb) by clicking Browse, then (from the menu) Notes -> Export Notes. Set the export format to Notes in Plain Text (.txt), and uncheck the box that says Include HTML and media references.
That resulting text file should have one card per line, with a tab separating the question and answer.
Optionally, edit config.ts to configure how long you want the story to be.
Run npm start. The output will be in output.txt.
Ensure you've exported into input.txt in the correct format.
