What’s Anki? Anki is a flashcard tool. It’s built on the principle of spaced repetion, meaning that it repeats the cards based on your ability to answer. There’s lofs of info out there on how exactly it works. It really is a cheat code for anything you need to memorize. I use it for everything from my kids’ birthdays to language learning. Anki Tips Cloze deletion cards are almost always the best option. Writing your own cards is always best, but steal when necessary. When memorizing vocab, take the time to do a first pass outside of anki. I prefer to write things out by hand until I “know” it, then start anki after a quick break. For charts, have an LLM build you an html version and use that with cloze deletions. Multiple ways of asking the same question is good. For language learning, throw some exercises from the book in there as well.

The SBL Hebrew Font User Manual is worth a skim. There is a lot that goes into a unicode Hebrew font whent the cantilation and other Hebrew Bible marks come into play. One issue is normalization.
