Generating Flashcards
Built-in AI flashcard generation — no API key or external account required.
How it works
LanguageDen uses a server-side AI integration (via OpenRouter) to analyse words and generate flashcard content. Generation is included with your subscription.
AI translation and flashcard generation include a monthly fair-use allowance (about $2 of provider cost per account). Normal study will not reach it. You can always create and edit flashcards manually.
Generate for one word
- Open the word detail page.
- Click Generate flashcards.
- Wait a few seconds while AI creates cards for the types matching the word's part of speech.
- Review the results. Edit or delete any card you do not want.
LanguageDen picks flashcard types from a fixed list by part of speech — for example nouns include image based and listening cards. AI writes the prompt and answer for each type.
When a word was saved from the Reader, generation prefers the Passage excerpt for cloze and example sentences.
Generate in bulk
On a Source section page, click Generate flashcards to queue generation for all words in that section without cards. This runs as a background job — continue using the app while it processes.
Monitor running jobs from the jobs indicator in the navigation bar.
After a CSV or Anki import, Word Triage is usually the better way to pace new cards — generate selectively rather than all at once.
Add flashcards manually
- On the word detail page, click Add flashcard.
- Choose a flashcard type.
- Enter the prompt and answer.
- Save.
Image flashcards
For nouns, AI often creates an image based card. Use Add image or Replace on that card to search and attach a photo.
Edit generated content
AI output is a starting point. Edit awkward prompts or unhelpful example sentences on any card. Edits persist until you choose Regenerate flashcards.
