Import the Anki Flashcard Generator preset (10-second setup)
Download our Anki Flashcard Generator `.json` preset from the Prompt Library and import it into Vezz me so you never have to re-type formatting rules.
How to turn highlighted webpage text into high-retention Anki flashcards.
Highlight textbook passages, medical notes, or documentation in Chrome or Firefox and generate atomic Q&A and Cloze deletion Anki flashcards on screen.
Best fit
Best for medical students, law students, language learners, and engineers who use Anki, RemNote, or Mochi for spaced repetition.
On-screen walkthrough
How this looks on a real webpage.
Instead of switching tabs and rebuilding context, highlight the exact passage that slowed you down and press your shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS, fully customizable in settings).
1. Highlighted on page (Renal Physiology Notes — Loop Diuretics Mechanism of Action)
Loop diuretics (such as furosemide, bumetanide, and torsemide) inhibit the luminal Na+/K+/2Cl- (NKCC2) cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. By abolishing the corticomedullary osmotic gradient and blocking paracellular Mg2+ and Ca2+ reabsorption (which depends on the lumen-positive electrical potential), loop diuretics increase urinary excretion of Ca2+ ('loops lose calcium'), unlike thiazides.
Ctrl+Shift+X“Convert this passage into 3 atomic Anki Cloze deletion cards following the minimum information principle.”
2. Vezz me on-screen answer overlay
1. Loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide) inhibit the `{{c1::Na+/K+/2Cl- (NKCC2)::cotransporter}}` in the `{{c2::thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle::nephron segment}}`.
2. How do loop diuretics affect urinary calcium excretion? They `{{c1::increase Ca2+ excretion ('loops lose calcium')}}` (whereas thiazides `{{c2::decrease}}` it).
3. Why do loop diuretics reduce Mg2+ and Ca2+ reabsorption in the thick ascending limb? Blocking NKCC2 abolishes the `{{c1::lumen-positive electrical potential}}` that drives `{{c2::paracellular}}` cation transport.
3. Suggested follow-up questions in thread
- “Format these same facts as semicolon-separated `Front ; Back` Basic cards for bulk TSV import.”
- “Add one card contrasting ethacrynic acid with sulfonamide loop diuretics.”
Step-by-step workflow
How to run this workflow in place.
Highlight only the specific concept paragraph after understanding it
SuperMemo's Rule #1 is 'Do not learn if you do not understand.' Use Vezz me first to clarify the passage if needed, then highlight the high-yield paragraph.
Generate atomic Cloze or Basic Q&A cards and copy
Press Ctrl+Shift+X, generate 3–5 atomic cards with context hints, and paste them into Anki, RemNote, or a batch `.txt` import file.
Key details
Why this approach works better than switching tabs.
Comparison Matrix
Creating Anki Flashcards from Web Reading
Comparing selective in-page Cloze generation against bulk auto-deck tools.
| Method | Strengths | Tradeoffs |
|---|---|---|
| Vezz me + Anki Preset (Selected Passage) | High-retention atomic Cloze and Q&A cards from only the concepts you choose | Intentional passage-by-passage workflow |
| Full-PDF / Full-URL auto-deck generators | Dumping 80+ raw cards from a syllabus in one click | Low card quality—turns boilerplate intros into noisy cards you end up deleting |
| Typing Cloze syntax manually from scratch | Total manual control | Typing `{{c1::...::...}}` brackets repeatedly breaks reading momentum |
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about spaced repetition & study workflow.
Can Vezz me format cards as CSV or TSV for bulk Anki import?
Yes. Just ask for `Front ; Back` semicolon-separated lines (included in our Anki Flashcard Generator preset) and save them to a `.txt` file for instant Anki file import.
Does it support Anki {{c1::...}} and {{c2::...}} Cloze syntax?
Yes. Our Anki preset generates both Cloze deletion syntax with context hints (`{{c1::term::category}}`) and atomic Q&A cards.
Does this work for USMLE Step 1/2, MCAT, and Bar Exam prep?
Yes—it is one of our most popular workflows among medical students, law students, and software engineers.
