ALTA (Anki Linked Text Analyzer)

Short Summary

ALTA (Anki Linked Text Analyzer) is a Firefox extension designed to assist language learners by combining AI-powered text analysis with direct Anki integration. Users can select text on any webpage, receive instant translations or explanations generated by their preferred AI provider, and create Anki flashcards without leaving their reading environment.

Detailed Description

ALTA (Anki Linked Text Analyzer) is a browser extension developed to streamline vocabulary acquisition and reading-assisted language learning. The extension allows users to select words or expressions directly from webpages and instantly analyze them through large language models such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Groq-supported models.

The tool is built around the idea of reducing the friction between encountering unfamiliar vocabulary and storing it for later review. Instead of manually copying text into translators, dictionaries, or flashcard applications, users can access AI-generated explanations through a popup interface directly within the page they are reading.

Features

• AI-Powered Text Analysis
  Analyze selected words, expressions, or short passages using configurable prompts and multiple AI providers.
• Customizable Prompts
  Define custom instructions for translations, definitions, grammar explanations, vocabulary analysis, and other language-learning tasks.
• Sentence Context Support
  Optionally send the surrounding sentence along with the selected text to improve AI understanding and translation accuracy.
• Anki Integration
  Connect directly to Anki through AnkiConnect and create flashcards without manually copying information between applications.
• Profile System
  Create multiple independent profiles with different AI providers, prompts, hotkeys, and Anki configurations.
• Customizable Interface
  Configure themes, popup behavior, popup scaling, and other interface preferences.
• Real-Time Configuration Updates
  Changes to popup appearance and behavior are applied immediately, even to popups that are already open.

How to Use

1. Open the extension settings page.
2. Create or select a profile.
3. Choose an AI provider (OpenAI, Gemini, Groq, etc.).
4. Enter your API key.
5. Select a language model.
6. Configure the prompt according to your needs.
7. Optionally enable "Use sentence context" for better translations and explanations.
8. Configure a hotkey to trigger the analysis popup.
9. Browse any webpage containing text in your target language.
10. Select a word or expression and press the configured hotkey.
11. Read the AI-generated analysis in the popup.

Using Anki Integration

1. Install and open Anki.
2. Install and enable AnkiConnect.
3. Enable "Anki Connection" in ALTA's settings.
4. Select the desired deck and note model.
5. Configure how ALTA data should be mapped to Anki fields.
6. Analyze text using the popup.
7. Click the "+" button to create an Anki card instantly.

Intended Audience

The extension is primarily intended for language learners who already use Anki or similar spaced-repetition systems, but it can also be used by anyone who wishes to quickly analyze text encountered while browsing the web.

Inspiration

ALTA was heavily inspired by the workflow popularized by Yomitan and, to a lesser extent, Migaku, while focusing on a simpler architecture and broader support for AI-assisted text analysis.

Project Information

This project was developed as an academic and portfolio project exploring the integration of modern language models with browser-based language-learning workflows.
