Anki decks, drawn from your books
Read the book. Keep the words.
Upload a book and get an Anki deck of the words you don't know yet. Every card pairs the word with a sentence from the book, and a translation.
A finished deck. Le avventure di Pinocchio, Italian to English.
In three steps
From a book on your shelf to a deck in Anki.
One
Upload a book
Drop in an EPUB or PDF. Litdeck reads it once to build a per-chapter inventory of every word. Analysis is free and takes a minute or two.
Two
Compose the deck
Pick the chapters you want, set your level from A1 to C2, and choose the language to translate into. Your exact planned-word price is shown before you commit.
Three
Study in Anki
Download a real Anki deck and study it anywhere. Every card shows the word in a real sentence from the book.
Text analysis is free. Generation is priced per order, with no subscription.
Tuned to you
Only the words you don't already know.
Set a level from A1 to C2 and Litdeck skips the words a reader at that level already has. What's left is the vocabulary actually standing between you and the page, nothing you'd waste a card on.
- Choose single chapters or whole parts of the book.
- Watch the count and the price update as you select.
- Change your mind freely; you pay nothing until you generate.
Anatomy of a card
Every card is a small dictionary entry.
Not a word and a blank. Each card gives you everything you need to actually learn the word, and the line from the book that makes it stick.
Headword
The word in its dictionary form, with its article.
Part of speech
Noun, verb, adjective, and the rest, spelled in full.
Pronunciation
An IPA reading, so you know how it sounds.
Morphology
Tense, gender, and number, in the language's own terms.
Meaning
A clean translation. Dictionary definitions are coming soon.
In context
The sentence from your book, the word set apart.
Translation
That sentence in a language you already speak.
Try a finished deck first
A real deck Litdeck generated from the first two chapters of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: 230 of the book's rarer English words, translated to French for an intermediate reader, each with its pronunciation, spoken audio, and the sentence where it appears in the book.
Free, no account needed. Import it into Anki on desktop or mobile.
While you're away
Your deck, set page by page.
Generating runs in the background, chapter by chapter, the way a typesetter works down a page. Close the tab and come back; your deck will be waiting.
You're billed only for the cards that actually get made. If a chapter can't be set, it simply isn't charged.
No catch
Free to explore. Yours to keep.
Uploading and analyzing a book's text costs nothing. A generation order has one exact price based on its planned words, and what you get back is a plain Anki file you own forever. There's nothing to subscribe to in order to study what you've already built.
Once a book is analyzed it stays in your library, so you can come back and compose new decks from different chapters whenever you like, without uploading it again.
Why Litdeck
The short version.
From the source
Words come from your actual chapters, not a generic frequency list someone else made.
Real Anki, not a rental
You download a deck and study it in the app you already use. Nothing to keep paying for.
Quiz yourself first
A built-in study mode hides the back of each card, so you can test one before it ever reaches Anki.
Built for whole books
Long novels, dozens of chapters, thousands of cards. Browse, search, and filter the lot.
In your language
Translate to the language you already speak, chosen at the moment you generate.
A price you can trust
See the exact tax-inclusive order price before payment. Internal provider costs never replace your quote.
Start with a book you love.
Upload an EPUB or PDF and see your first deck in minutes. Text analysis is free, and every deck price is quoted before payment.
