EasyFlashcards is an easy to use web application that creates usable flashcards from a given text. The flashcards are then provided as txt-file that you can import to your local Anki-App and you can start learning!

The project is split up into a python backend part (folder: backend) and a Next.js web interface (easy-flashcards).

To run the project, you need to setup the backend api and run the web app.

Go to backend/config.py and specify your api tokens:

os.environ["HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN"] = # Your Token
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = # Your Token

Next, open the project in a terminal and go to the backend-folder. Create a virtual environment and install all the necessary dependencies.

# create environment
python3 -m venv .env
# start environment
source .env/bin/activate
# install dependancies
pip install -r requirements.py

Now the backend is ready and you can simply run python api.py. The backend api should start on your http:https://localhost:5000

For a test, you can send an example request:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'http:https://localhost:5000/?key=5HA374PKTeDpEf7HXGNAz4qL9Vg9Ay246T4r25qY&text=A%20flashcard%20or%20flash%20card%20(also%20known%20as%20an%20index%20card)%20is%20a%20card%20bearing%20information%20on%20both%20sides%2C%20which%20is%20intended%20to%20be%20used%20as%20an%20aid%20in%20memorization.'

Go into the directory easy-flashcards and run npm run dev

Open http:https://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
