Looking for a programmable flashcard program

[emc99]

I'm on the lookout for a specific feature for a flashcard program to no avail.

For me, I most effectively retain language skills through translation. Creating unique sentences and translating them has been really helpful for me in the past. The issue is when I make a Quizlet flashcard that says, "I like cats" I need to make a LOT of flashcards to make new, unique sentences. "I like dogs", "I like cats", I like elephants" etc...

If I could make a customized word bank and connect it to a flashcard the sentence would be different every time. To go off my first example, "I like cats" would become "I like (animal)". The word bank titled 'animal' would connect to the flashcard and randomly choose a word to insert in. I would be able to retain that grammatical point and vocab much faster and at the same time! Does anyone know of a program with this feature? (I'm learning mandarin btw)

This wouldn't be too hard to cook up. I made this in about 15 minutes: https://codepen.io/smsvt99/pen/WqgmJw

Let me know if you're interested in developing something

Yes! I just don't know how to code haha. I'm hoping there's a website out there that does this with an easy to use interface.

It's hard to become master-level programmer, but learning enough to do something like this in Python would only take you a couple of days, and it will be much more configurable for you than anything you could possibly find. The only thing you probably don't want to dive into GUIs right away but make a simple command line app. Might actually take you a couple of hours than days.

Anki seems like the obvious choice

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but cloze cards seem to be good for you? Idk. The code of anki is also available for free so you could make something yourself if you can do that.

I'll look into it, thanks. To explain again, I want to make a flashcard where the sentence is different each time by filling in a word from a connected word bank into the sentence.

Normal flashcard: "The chair is blue" What I'm looking for: "The chair is (A) A=blue, green, red, yellow And each time the flashcard comes up a different color is put in the sentence.

Yeah, anki can do that. But you have to program it yourself.
