Welcome to Mnemo

Mnemo takes the words you keep forgetting in Anki and weaves them into short stories and example sentences you can read and hear — so they finally stick, in context.

Read it, hear it — and grow it

Listen as you read. Every story and sentence can be read aloud — press play, or click any word to start from there while the current word lights up. Audio uses your browser’s free built-in voices, or natural-sounding Microsoft Azure speech if you add your own key. Choose a voice under Settings → Audio.

Pairs with Yomitan. Yomitan is a free pop-up-dictionary browser extension: hover any word on a web page for an instant definition and add it to Anki in one click. Yomitan is how you find and add new words; Mnemo takes the ones you keep forgetting and turns them into stories you can read and hear.

Run it on your computer

Everything stays on your machine — Mnemo talks to your own Anki and language model straight from your browser, and nothing is uploaded. Because this site is on the web, you allow it to reach them once:

1Anki — open Anki with the AnkiConnect add-on (code 2055492159). In Tools → Add-ons → AnkiConnect → Config, add this site to webCorsOriginList, then restart Anki.

2A language model — run one locally: LM Studio (Developer tab → start the server → Enable CORS) or Ollama (start with OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*). Prefer the cloud? Add an OpenAI/Anthropic key in Settings instead.

3Open Settings and choose your decks, model and voice.
