I'm using a competitor on Android since both Anki apps (AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid) really aren't good enough for my language learning activity. They aren't as good as the desktop Anki app. I'm actually thinking of building my own app for a while since the all the flashcard apps on mobile don't really work for me. Not sure I'll find the motivation to do it though, I'm just using the least bad option I've found. Specifically, I want to always auto-play cards with TTS and there doesn't seem to be an option with the apps to do that.

That would be a cool extension of the project. I’ve always wanted a hands free version of Dualingo because if I’m driving or walking somewhere I don’t want to use my hands for obvious reasons.

Hi, my app which I've mentioned in my previous comment does that. Is there anything else that you're looking for in a flashcards language learning app that Anki misses?

  It seems pretty good but your app is only targetting German right? I'm learning another language. Right now I'm using this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flashcards.words.words https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flashcards.wor... Which seems the only one I found supporting auto-TTS in lots of languages which you can toggle in the settings. The UI is truly awful though and the space repetition algorithm is kind of borked.

    Ah, unfortunate. I will be adding more languages, but it will take some time. I prefer to have really figured out how to make the app great for German and then expanding, rather then doing everything at once.

      Yeah that makes sense, the UI seems pretty good though, we are very far from what I'm using now. I could see myself using it if I was learning German.

Hi, I've recently integrated TTS into the AnkiDroid alpha series, could you give it a whirl when you have time?
