This is so helpful !!! Thank you so much!

Works perfectly

Great addon, I'll admit it took me a while before I realized I had to find it on patreon but it works great.

Beautiful adds-on, thanks!

can't wait for 2.1 !

Can't pay for it but its a cool feature!

Upvoted this for the people who downvoted for no good reason. I can't wait when this releases for 2.1 version.

Nice add-on. Works as described. Very excited for when it comes to 2.1!

Super addon, thank you glutamate - I've no idea how I'd have passed farmacology exam without cloze overlapper, I subscribed to your patreon just to give you some money as a thank you.

The comment about the author being selfish for charging $5 has me a bit worked up. If this were a visa commercial it would go something like, "A med student's life: Starbucks $5, Snacks for study group $13, fee on your student account nobody really knows what it's for $67, tuition for TODAY's lectures that you're going to skip $83, random textbook you're never going to open $186, graduation debt $150 000, study tool for anki that you will use literally everyday $5. WFT???!?! Why is this $5??? You're so selfish!" Don't be a 7/21/2020, donate and be grateful he/she decided to work on this while you're sorry behind was still struggling on your OChem homework.

Great addon, love that it works on mobile aswell. This kind of seamless compatibility is what I look for in addons and Im glad to pay for it as this is literally saving me study time, simply due to increase in efficiency.

Comment from author before post was edited It is available for 2.1, but in testing. Good things take time. To get access to it, either build it yourself (https://github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/releases/tag/v0.4.0-alpha.0), or join the early access program on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/glutanimate/posts?tag=Cloze%20Overlapper).



But even if it was 2.0 only, it's incredibly unkind and ungrateful of you to downvote an add-on due to lack of 2.1 compatibility. Add-on authors are under no obligation to spend their free time developing add-ons for you. And as the add-on description above does not advertise 2.1 support in any fashion and the add-on is not listed on the page of 2.1 add-ons (https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons/2.1), your rating is completely uncalled for. Downvoting these "essential" add-ons as you say is a great way to discourage add-on devs from ever producing them and making them freely available to you. Essential add-on but still not available for anki 2.1...

Comment from author Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words of support! Ignore the haters below, Glutanimate. Those who demand your work for free are the selfish ones. Much love and respect!

Comment from author The add-on is still freely available to download for Anki 2.0. There is nothing preventing you from installing 2.0 and using Cloze Overlapper on it. Nothing about that has changed. If you need to get access to the test release for 2.1, you can either build the add-on yourself (the source code is freely available: https://github.com/Glutanimate/cloze-overlapper), or pledge $5 on Patreon. Contrary to popular belief, developers do need a roof over their heads and food on their table. We're not robots. Anki itself is kept afloat by AnkiMobile, which is a paid-for app. I assume you also expect to be paid for your work, don't you? Then where's your justification for a comment like this?



If you think that $5 is too much to ask for, given 60+ freely shared open-source add-ons, numerous contributions to Anki itself and its ecosystem, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. Yeah yeah, we know you have good add ons. But to be really profiting from it? Srsly? We just need the 2.1 bro, salute u with your contributions but damn bro ur selfish.



I study biothechnology where there is no crédit card {3rd world} how i supposed to get this addon now aaaaaa Comment from author Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that accessing the add-on is difficult form where you're located. Unfortunately this a difficult problem to tackle, and I'm sure this is something Anki itself is also facing, given that AnkiMobile is also paid for and only available via the app store (which also requires a credit card or paypal from my knowledge).



For Cloze Overlapper there are a few alternative solutions that might be worth exploring:



1. You could read up on how to build Anki add-ons and build Cloze Overlapper for Anki 2.1 yourself. The source code and instructions are available here: https://github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper

2. You could install Anki 2.0 in parallel and use that to create your overlapping cloze cards. If you install Anki 2.1.23 next to 2.0, you will be able to use the same collection across both versions of Anki. So to create your flashcards you could quickly switch to 2.0, and then switch back to 2.1 to review them / sync to AnkiWeb. Please note however that this won't work as well for newer Anki 2.1 releases as they use an updated database. For newer releases what you could do is use a different profile for Anki 2.0, create your flashcards there, and then export them as an apkg file. You could then import the apkg file into a newer Anki release.



I understand that this workflow is more complex, but I think it's a viable alternative until the 2.1 version of Cloze Overlapper is ready and freely available to everyone.



Hope that helps! But we neeed it for 2.1I study biothechnology where there is no crédit card {3rd world} how i supposed to get this addon now aaaaaa

Thank you. Can't wait for the 2.1 release! :)

Hi there. A test version for Anki 2.1 is available on my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/glutanimate?filters[tag]=Cloze%20Overlapper



The page you left your rating on is not listed in the add-on list for Anki 2.1, and only accessible if you specifically google for it, so I'm having trouble understanding your rating. 2.1 support is not advertised anywhere on this page, it explicitly says "Only supports Anki 2.0.x" at the top. Add-on authors are under no obligation to provide you with a 2.1 version of their add-on. To go around downvoting old 2.0 pages just for the sake of it is super unkind and ungrateful towards all the work put into these projects that were freely shared with the community. Thank you. Not available without fee payment. Really?

Comment from author A test release for Anki 2.1 is available on my Patreon page as part of patron early access: https://www.patreon.com/glutanimate?filters[tag]=Cloze%20Overlapper no update availaible for anki 2.1

Comment from author A test release for Anki 2.1 is available on my Patreon page as part of patron early access: https://www.patreon.com/glutanimate?filters[tag]=Cloze%20Overlapper Not available in 2.1

Really time-efficient and overall well organized!

This is exactly how i learn!

good

I installed ubuntu 20.04 because it was a new and bad moment with windows on my computer, but this time may not allow me to install most things.

awesome add-on, can't wait to see the full version release

je veux ca

This is one of my 2 main card types. Indispensable.

Now that 2.0 is no longer supported where can I buy the 2.1 beta version of this tool.

I couldn't figure out on Patreon what level was required to obtain the cloze overlapper.

I'd spend $10.00 happily. I would spend $20.00 unhappily, but I would still buy it today if it worked.

Very versatile and useful add-on for lists!

Killer addon. Thanks so much!

The only thing than took me a bit to figure out was how to display pasted images. In case somoeone else is wondering, you simply have to press ctrl+shift+x, copy the html of the image (something like '<img src="paste-9e1074e7089aba83897761f107583f13f0c25c4f.jpg">') and paste it as it is, in the list. Maybe it's trivial, but perhaps it can help someone.



Thank you!

This is very good! I wonder if there is a way to update notes in bulk. If I edit lots of cards on AnkiDroid it is not always easy, nor handy, to find each note I edited and click on the "generate cards" button

Awesome add-on. I'm surprised Anki's developers haven't made this a normal feature. Don't go crazy with the lists, guys!

Thank very much for the work! I really appreciate it!

Do you have any perspective for launch the 2.1 version of this add-on?

Never personally tried it, however, I'm still looking forward to it when it gets released to ANKI 2.1! Do you perhaps have an estimated date?

it helps me a lot for vocabulary group

will wait for 2.1

Amazing!

Obvious upvote because Glutanimate is a legend. This is one of the BEST addons available and I rely on it heavily for bar exam review. Can't use anki without it!



However, it's not clear how to install this addon post 2.1 release. No code is present and the github 0.4.0-alpha release doesn't seem to work. Any advice?

Great!

very useful, thank you!

Thank you very much for all your time and effort! Please ignore the ungrateful people!

Comment from author Working on it! Seriously need 2.1 with 2.0 deprecated soon.

Perfect for learning a lot of facts on a single topic (e.g. a certain Bacteria). Since support for Anki 2.0 will close soon, 2.1. compatibility would be highly appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work!

Works perfectly on the old version, one of my favorite addons.

Keep working on it!

Make it workable for 2.1, please

Please do make it available for 2.1

Thank you

port this finally...

Very useful for memorizing lists.

this will make my time short.

Thank you for this nice plugin.

I hope it gets into Anki version 2.1 one day...



Kind regards



Alexandre

Love this add-on. Can't wait until it's available for 2.1. <3

Your work is incredible! apreciate it man! keep up :).

amazing and essential

Hello, I am trying to install this add on but it is telling me it is not working. What should I do?

Great help for med students, looking forward to 2.1 version

gerade gemerkt du hast patreon - Konto erstellt und etwas (klein-auch student sorry) dagelassen

was ist mit direkt paypal ?

Looking forward to 2.1 support!

Waiting for the version for Anki 2.1!

Waiting for 2.1 version :/

Incredible plugin! It opened a new level of Anki for me. I'm glad to hear a 2.1.x version is in progress.

that's very useful

Brilliant

Great work, thank you!

This addon is an absolute cornerstone of my ability to learn lists, processes, lyrics and poetry. It handles connected sequences of information in a literally game-changing way. This should absolutely be a part of Anki's basic functionality. Truly essential.

LOVE IT!!!! Make one for 2.1! please!!!!

Too much context has been one of my biggest problems with the Anki cloze system. This however is excellent. Thank you very much.

Love it! I won't update to 2.1 until this extension is updated, because it's so integral to my learning

Comment from author Thanks! Glad you like the add-on :). It might take a couple more months for the 2.1 version to hit AnkiWeb. But if you don't want to wait, I've just pushed out the first alpha build on my Patreon!: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cloze-overlapper-24279438 Really good. When will it be available for 2.1 version?

Great addition for students!

Comment from author Sorry that it's taking so long, but I'm working on it! Please, it would be great if someone ported it to Anki 2.1 !

I miss having this add-on, would be great if someone ported it to Anki 2.1 !

Looking forward to seeing this on 2.1

Makes me a little sad each time I check and it's not supported yet. I will wait still

i have been using your various add-ons, love them. I have an idea for a new project, that may make anki even more powerful than before, I hope you can apply your skill to this task. can you create a bridge between the media import addon and image occlusion, here is why. I primariliy use image occulsion to study, but it can become time consuming because i use it for every slide on a given lecture, so having 3 lectures per day results in 80 slides per lecture, results in too much time making cards. media import is great because it allow you to import you lecture fast but it does not allow for the use of image occulsion , so frustrating, do you think you can take on this challenge? waiting for 2.1 overlapper, i am checking regularly

Looking forward to 2.1

Really good add-on but is severely outdated! We need the 2.1 update.

When will it be available also for Anki 2.1?

Brilliant, works well. Helpful youtube tutorial as well.

Useful! Thanx!

Essential Add-on for me.

I did not think that Anki could be even more powerful than it is allready. This add-on proved me wrong. Also try the Image Oclusion Enhanced from the same developer. Highly recomended!

Desperately need this for 2.1

This is such a great addition to the normal Cloze functionality. As with others, just waiting for it to be available for 2.1!

An essential addon for me. I am really looking forward to the 2.1 port! Please keep up the amazing work!

Good!

<3 <3<3



Amazing job with all the Add-ons.



Please reconsider adding typing support for this Add-on. It would simply be awesome.



I have no idea if it would be possible but I know of one Add-on that allows more than one type field per card, called "Multiple type fields on card" Comment from author That was very generous of you, thank you! I really appreciate the continued support! :)



Typing is definitely something I'd like to look into again. That add-on is a good start, but the implementation is a bit too hacky and unstable for my taste (it overwrites quite a few private methods in Anki's code). Ideally I'd like to find something that works across all platforms. Perhaps this will be easier to implement on Anki 2.1. No guarantees, though! Firstly have a meal on me.Amazing job with all the Add-ons.Please reconsider adding typing support for this Add-on.

Comment from author Thanks for the rating! Glad you're enjoying the add-on. I'm working on the 2.1 port as we speak. I'd love this to be updated to work with Anki 2.1, because this is one of my "must have" add-ons!

Useful add on for the biosciences (pathways, post-receptor activation steps...)

Nice ADD!

Save a lot of my time. Thanks.

It is well thought-out, well implemented, and phenomenally brilliant, really. It is utterly transforming my ability to work with lists of things I need to memorize, as well as writing (poems, songs, verses, etc.) I need to memorize. It's incredible.

Thank you, awesome addon. I would like to use it more, unfortunately, for me, I can't use it togheter with Emacs package Anki-Editor. I would like to add cards that use: [[oc::text]], however, in Emac's Org-Mode the "[[ ]]" implements a hyperlink, so I can't export the notes correctly. Is there any way to change the syntax from [[oc::text]] to something like {{oc::text}}?





One nit-picky thing is I wish the font size in the browser could be put back to the default/original size for this add-on. I index my cards and sort them by their index id, so when I'm scrolling through a deck in the browser looking for a specific topic to syudy, the fonts get big and small because this addon has a larger font. Makes it a little harder to quickly find a topic by eye. Currently looking for a way to change the font size in the browser so everything is the same size Comment from author Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Glad you've been enjoying the add-on.



For what it's worth, the add-on's card template actually uses the default font size for the browser appearance. You can check this by creating a new Anki profile and adding some basic cards and overlapping clozes, and then comparing how they appear in the browser.



If you are using a shared Step 1 deck like Zanki or Bros then they are more than likely equipped with custom card templates that render slightly differently in the browser. In order to apply the same font formatting to the Cloze Overlapper template you can do the following: Find a card with a smaller font size in the browser, click on "Cards" in the editor section, then click on "More" at the bottom of the card template editor. You should be able to select "Browser appearance" or something similar. Click on that and a dialog with a font selection menu should come up. Remember what font and font size is set there. Then repeat the previous steps for the Cloze Overlapper note type right up to the point where the dialog comes up. Set the font values you remember from the other note type, then confirm with OK to apply the changes.



N.B.: It might look like Cloze Overlapper and the other note types are using the same values (Arial 12), but that is actually not the case. By default, the font values of card templates in Anki are unset. I.e.: It might say Arial 12, but Anki actually uses the system-wide font settings to determine the card's appearance in the browser. It's only after clicking "OK" in the font settings dialog that the options shown there are actually applied. There is also no easy way to undo this change with Anki 2.0, so be careful with that. Once you set the font settings for one card template you will have to do it for every single one to reach the same level of consistency as before. Has been great for medical school. Study for step 1 right now and has been enormously helpful in learning lists.One nit-picky thing is I wish the font size in the browser could be put back to the default/original size for this add-on.

super useful



I spent the afternoon on the videos, installed, made some cards, and only then was directed to a thread where it's explained that only one "type"-field per card is allowed. We know that. That's what we wanted this for -- to split clozes into multiple cards to avoid that limitation.

If this is creating separate cards for each line of a list, why can there not be one "type"-field per card, so we can type in the answer? Comment from author before post was edited Sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the add-on. However, there's a reason why typing support is not advertised anywhere within the add-on description, numerous wiki entries, nor tutorial videos: Anki does not support multiple typing fields on the same card, thus Cloze Overlapper doesn't either (https://github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/issues/1). It begs the question then why you would rate the add-on for what it can't be, instead of rating it for what it is. Funny, it never once occurred to me that this would not solve my problem of having to type in four answers for a 4-cloze note. If spelling is important (not doctor?), and we're just supposed to analog write on paper in front of the computer, we have to write the previous item prompt and the item we're remembering.I spent the afternoon on the videos, installed, made some cards, and only then was directed to a thread where it's explained that only one "type"-field per card is allowed.

awesome

The work you are doing to improve learning is great..Keep up the great work Glutanimate!!

Thank you for developing this. It's excellent.

This is amazing at what it does!

Extremely Useful

it really helped

Zum Lernen langer Listen einfach klasse. Bspw. Arterien / Venen und Nerven oder Komplikationslisten und Differentialdiagnosen. Gute gemacht!

Another plug-in from glutanimate that is totally awesome. Even though it's pretty straightforward, the variations are many. Perfect tool for creating pathways, like in neuroscience and biochemistry, and learning complex related topics.

Thank you soo much for this addon. We need more people like you (programmers) that can help more people like me (non programmers). I've been looking for something like that for my learning Cantonese. You've made my day! ;)

Works wonderfully!

Cloze overlapper is the gold standard for what a plugin should be.

Nice one!

Great Stuff!

I like it.

amazing for my nursing care planning schedule.

Works just have to play around with it. Any way to convert regular cloze cards to this?

Anki essential

Awesome missing feature added. Thanks!

shut up and take my money!

Very Useful



Thank you very much. It is very useful to remember lists.

Awesome



Just an awesome and very useful addon! Thanks for releasing it.

sounds good



but if only it worked on anki mobile it would have been hilarious

Some bugs



Hello there ! thanks for your awesome add... please if you can fix some bugs... whenever i add a list row that contain some colored words and then i add the overlapping [o]] and add the note to find that this sentence which contained the colored word has split into 2 sentences.. please fix it . thanks :)

Very useful addon



This addon is great for making cards for memorising lists. Would reccommend people to watch the authors videos on youtube to learn about all the features.

Just perfect



Such a useful addon to help users to memorize lists, paragraphs, poems and so on. Excellent job!

Awesome



One of the best addons.

Out of the 10+ add-ons I have, this is definitely in my top 3. I have struggled with putting metabolic pathways (Endocrinology class, yep), lists, sonnets onto Anki because of the lack of clues and connection-building -- but this is a godsend. Out of the myriad of add-ons I have, this is definitely in my top 3 most valuable for studying. Get it now!! Also, the "Remarks" field is great.

Excellent



Works as advertised.
