Ankiweb image occlusion made 10x easier
November 10th, 2023
For medical and health related students, ankiweb image occlusion can come in super clutch if you’re trying to learn a diagram. Because ultimately, you don’t just need to understand the concept, but you also need to know where things are visually.
Here's the traditional way to do this in Anki (keep reading for a much easier way to do this):
Go to Tools on the top bar and select Add-ons
Then click “Get Add-ons” on the right hand side
A modal will pop up and ask you to enter a code
Enter: 1374772155
Go and add a new card as you normally would
Press 'Basic' at the top and change the card type to Image Occlusion Enhanced
Click the image icon on the top right
Select 'Change Image'
Add all the labels you need for that image
Repeat for all your images
Click done and start quizzing yourself!
Once you have it up and running it works smooth, but what if you could upload all the pictures at once and have the labels covered for you?
Wisdolia is an absolute academic weapon for this.
Upload a pdf with all your images
Select which images you want to do occlusion for
Click ‘Generate’
And boom you’re done, and all the labels are covered for you
And if you need to move things around it’s easy to adjust, add, or delete the label covers.
Ankiweb image occlusion is great, but image occlusion in Wisdolia is over-powered.
