About AnkiWeb
AnkiWeb is the online companion to Anki, a long-running spaced repetition flashcard system. It schedules reviews based on how well you recall each card, showing difficult cards more often and easy cards less often, which is widely used to make memorization more efficient.
The web app lets you study and edit cards in any browser and keeps your decks in sync with the desktop app and the mobile clients. Decks can include text, images, audio, and cloze deletions, and the open .apkg format means there are large libraries of community-shared decks for languages, medicine, law, and other subjects.
Anki is popular with language learners, medical students, and anyone preparing for exams that require memorizing large amounts of information over time.
