trrc (ToRRential Card processor) is a command-line application for creating and adding flashcards to Anki through the AnkiConnect interface.
It follows traditional Unix conventions, allowing card information to be supplied through command arguments, files and pipelines. This makes it useful for automating repetitive card creation tasks or converting material prepared with text editors and scripts.
Rather than implementing its own review system, trrc communicates with an existing Anki instance. It can target an AnkiConnect service running on another computer, making it practical for maintaining collections from terminal environments.
This is free and open source software.
