This add-on adds speech recognition to your cards to transcribe audio files.
Supported speech-to-text services
Currently supported services are the following:
Deepgram Whisper
Usage
Most speech recognition services require you to register for an API key. Check the docs of your chosen service for details. You can configure your API key from the add-on’s dialog accessible from the editor button ().
Fill-in option
You can paste the transcriptions of audio files in a chosen field to any other field using the editor button or the Notes > Transcribe Selected browser action for bulk processing.
As a template filter
The add-on can also work as a template filter (asr, for “automatic speech recognition” or “Anki speech recognition”), which you put in your card template. E.g:
{{asr:Front}}
The add-on processes any [sound:foo.mp3] tags in the specified field and replaces them with the transcriptions of the audio. The results will be cached to avoid making additional requests to the ASR service in subsequent reviews. Compared to Fill-in option, this has the advantage that newly created notes can make use of the add-on automatically as long as their card template contains the filter.
You can specify the language using the lang option. E.g:
{{asr lang=tr:Front}}
The default language is English (en). Supported languages depend on the service used. For Deepgram, see https://deepgram.com/product/languages/ for a list of supported languages.
The speech-to-text service used can be specified using the provider option. E.g:
{{asr provider=deepgram:Front}}
If you set auto=false, a button will be shown that you can click to show the transcription:
{{asr auto=false:Front}}
This is useful to avoid making a request to the ASR service when not needed, or to simply use the transcription as an optional hint.
You can see a list of each provider’s supported languages by placing something like the following on your template:
{{asr-langs provider=deepgram:}}
This will list each supported language’s code and name. The language code is what you have to provide to the lang option.
Transcription tasks
In the window under Tools > Speech Recognition for Anki > Transcribed Files you can see a list of files transcribed since starting Anki and their status (running, finished successfully or with an error) and the resulting transcriptions.

Custom providers
If you know Python, you can integate any ASR service via a custom provider. See user_files/providers/my_provider.py for an example. If your provider is general enough to warrant including in the add-on, please open a pull request!
