Intro
To use AnkiMaster Flashcards, you need to install some Add-ons to Anki. Add-ons are like browser extensions but for Anki.
Tutorial
How to install add-ons
In the main Anki window click on Tools–>Add-ons
Click on Get Add-ons on the side.
Copy-paste your add-on code into the box and click OK. You can find the codes for the add-ons in the Required Add-ons below.
Click Get Add-ons again and repeat with other Add-on codes.
Required Add-ons
- ImageResizer – make all images the same size. Code: 1214357311
- Hierarchical Tags – helps you organize your cards. You will learn more about tags in future tutorials. Code: 594329229
- Advanced Browser – A useful add-on for organizing and searching your cards more easily. Code: 874215009
- Forvo Downloader – automatically download audio for all of your words. Code: 858591644
- AwesomeTTS – automatically download audio for all of your words. Code: 814349176
I don’t recommend installing any more than this, especially as a beginner. You don’t need any more than these add-ons.

You need to configure a few things to make these add-ons function correctly. First, RESTART Anki to activate your new Add-ons.
Open Anki again. Now you will see some new option menus.

I have troubles with Anki Add-ons.
I have installed Audio add-on (3100585138) and Advanced browser add-on (874215009). And, for both of them, I have received a success notification with requirement to restart Anki, and I have done this restarts. After these, I need to configure, but in the section ‘Fields’ I have not had any ‘Antimoon_Eng’.
The details of, what I have had, are in the picture by the from the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/qu7jdkttco7cky5/Anki%20–%20Antimoon_Eng%20problem.jpg?dl=0 .
I have next questions: ‘Is this problem is known, and if yes, what is the solution?’; ‘What can you suggestions me what I can try to do?’.

Thank you for the screenshot. It appears you already installed the addon successfully. You need to download the EFA Cards Deck or EFA Cards Template. This will give you the Antimoon_eng card template. Then you can set the plugin correctly. Does this make sense?

Thank you for the explanation. And, did you mean that I was illogical, when say ‘Does this make sense’? Can someone think that the Advanced browser add-on contains ‘Antimoon_Eng’ due to the last screenshot in the current installing section if he moving successively, 1->2->3 and so on via the TUTOR Member Homepage? If you did not mean this, I am sorry for my question.

You’re right. It’s in the wrong order. It is confusing. I’m fixing it now.
No I didn’t mean that. You’re doing just fine 🙂 Thank you for your patience.
Vinny Champeau
It’s fixed now! Sorry about the confusion. It’s in the right order. Please see TUTOR Member Homepage again.

Hello Vinny. I have just looked up it. This was the quick fix!
I have to say may be that you know. I am talking about the ‘Table contents’ and the comments field, for example on this page, they are intersect each other in my case (Windows 7 – x86, Chrome 52.0.2743.116 m – the last version) as you can see from the next picture – https://www.dropbox.com/s/lb77x17vwfaevr8/comment_content_table_intersection.jpg?dl=0 .

Yes, I know. I am transferring the website over to a new platform soon. The new platform looks much nicer and has a lot more features. Please ignore this problem for now.

I have to say the one thing that, probably, is already known to you.* Correct me please if I am write something wrong in the sentence above.
