Export your vocabulary to Anki

If you already use Anki for spaced repetition, you can take any wordbook (or your full vocabulary) out of SnapVerbo as an .apkg deck — ready to import into Anki on desktop or mobile.

Open the export sheet

  1. Tap the Flashcards tab in the bottom navigation.
  2. In the AppBar, tap the download icon (tooltip “Export”).

The Export flashcards bottom sheet slides up.

Pick Anki and a scope

If both formats are enabled, a PDF / Anki segmented switch appears at the top — pick Anki (cards icon). The helper text reads:

Import into Anki for spaced repetition review.

Below it, pick a scope:

  • All words (books icon) — exports as deck “SnapVerbo::All”.
  • A specific wordbook (collection icon) — exports as deck “SnapVerbo::<Wordbook name>”.

Each row shows the entry count. Tap to start.

Include source images (optional)

The Include images toggle at the bottom of the sheet (image icon) embeds your captured source photos in the .apkg. Useful for visual recall; the file gets bigger.

Default: off.

What happens after you tap

  1. SnapVerbo builds the .apkg deck. Each entry becomes a note with these fields:
    • Source (the word/phrase you captured)
    • Translation
    • Definition (if you have an AI lookup)
    • Examples
    • Pronunciation — IPA and phonetic respelling, if present
    • Your note
    • Tags — every tag you’ve put on the entry, ported as Anki tags
    • Image — embedded if you enabled the toggle
  2. The OS Share sheet opens with the .apkg file attached. AirDrop it to your laptop, send it to yourself in any messaging app, or save it to Files.
  3. On the receiving device, open the file with Anki (desktop or mobile). Anki imports it as a new deck under the SnapVerbo parent (so all your SnapVerbo exports stay grouped).

What carries over, and what doesn’t

Carried over:

  • All entry content (source, translation, definition, examples, note, pronunciation)
  • Per-entry tags
  • Source images (if you enabled the toggle)

Not carried over:

  • Your SRS review history — Anki has its own scheduler and rates each card from “new” when you import. SnapVerbo’s Again/Hard/Good/Easy history does not transfer.
  • Wordbook membership — Anki doesn’t have wordbooks per se; the export becomes one Anki deck named after the wordbook. Tags are how you’ll re-find groupings in Anki.

When Anki export costs credits

Anki export is a paid feature on lower tiers — you’ll see the standard credits dialog before the build starts. Fluent+ and Poly tiers have it included with no per-export cost.

Tips for working in both apps

  • Use SnapVerbo for capture (camera, OCR, AI lookup) and Anki for long-haul review if that’s your existing habit.
  • Re-export a wordbook later to pull in any new entries — Anki will treat repeats as duplicates and let you decide what to do.
  • If you only use Anki occasionally, SnapVerbo’s built-in flashcards work fine on their own — see Review with flashcards.
