Quick sketch: making Anki cards for factual knowledge while reading is super tedious. I'd love to snap a passage and quickly redact segments. CV assist could smooth interactions. Interested in UX supports for encoding higher levels of knowledge too (c.f. twitter.com/andy_matuschak)

Hm, in terms of knowledge encoding, that’s accomplishing a different goal. Having to more effortfully generate the information I want to recall generates richer, more reliable encodings.

I love the direction you're going with this! We built Highlighter (@highlightbooks) to help capture passages from books and CV/OCR the text. We haven't done any work around flashcards, but we're considering how to export these highlights to be useful with other tools like Anki.

My new favorite app is Highlighter by @dksf for keeping track of notes when I read. You take a pic of the book page, highlight the text w/ your finger, and it converts to a post. You can join a virtual book club, create your own, or keep the notes private highlighter.app/signup
