The fastest way to improve your German listening
Convert German films, YouTube videos, and podcasts into Anki flashcards
Convert German films, YouTube videos, and podcasts into Anki flashcards
Turn your favorite German video into a deck of flashcards with German subtitles and translations. Each card plays the audio clip so you can train your ear on real native speech.
What can you convert?
German films and series — learn natural dialogue
German YouTube — vlogs, news, tech reviews
Podcasts — improve comprehension of spoken German
Goethe/TestDaF listening prep — practice with native-speed audio
How does it work?
VideoAnki generates subtitles for your video and automatically creates a flashcard for each subtitle. Unlike traditional apps, you're exposed to how people actually speak — with all the imperfections, nuances, and natural rhythms of native speech.
With our flashcards, subtitles are hidden at first, so you're truly training your listening skills. You'll learn to rely on your ears, not just your eyes.

A little bit about me
I'm a French developer based in Paris. I built VideoAnki to help language learners improve their listening comprehension.
I was learning Arabic, and a friend of mine was learning Portuguese. We both loved the process but struggled a lot with listening comprehension — that's how we came up with this Video to Anki converter idea that, I hope, you will appreciate.
Once downloaded, you should find your Anki deck file in your Downloads folder or in another folder you may have chosen. To use the deck, double-click on the downloaded file. It should then appear in Anki, in your deck list.
Thanks a lot for your trust, we hope you'll enjoy using our decks.
