Thai textbook page to Anki deck example

A practical example workflow showing how one Thai textbook page becomes reviewed flashcards instead of untrusted OCR output.

One Thai textbook page becomes a small, reviewed Anki-ready deck. The point is not volume: it is proving that capture, extraction, cleanup, and export produce cards you would actually study.

How to do it

Work through one batch at a time. Finish review before you upload the next set of pages.

Capture one focused page section: crop out page numbers, unrelated exercises, and teacher notes you do not want as cards.
Upload it as a small Thai import job so the review queue stays easy to audit.
Review extracted candidates against the source image: keep single-term vocab cards, split overloaded example lines, and reject headings.
Fix Thai-specific issues before approval: tone marks, word boundaries, transliteration, and English glosses that are too broad.
Approve a tight deck of five to twelve cards with consistent fronts, backs, and tags such as thai-textbook-unit-01.
Export the approved batch to APKG, import into Anki, and spot-check the first review screen before adding another page.

Quick check before you approve

Every approved card maps back to a visible item on the source page.
No card front contains multiple unrelated Thai words unless it is intentionally testing a phrase.
The APKG import creates a small deck you can review immediately without cleanup inside Anki.

When something goes wrong

OCR confuses similar Thai characters

zoom into the source image and correct only what you can verify.

Generated cards are too broad

split the source line into separate vocab, reading, and meaning prompts.

Anki import feels noisy

go back to review, reduce the approved set, and export a smaller APKG.
