Description
It makes it easy to hit API's, web scrape, do text-to-speech via online services etc in order to build rich flash cards in an automated way.This has grown organically over a couple of years while learning French and German with some friends and thought some of you guys might find it useful.An example pipeline I built with Hanky:- Use CV to grab highlighted words and their context off of a page of printed text (extract)- translate the highlighted word via an API (transform)- generate audio with a tts service (transform)Then load all that into anki as flash cards (load)Keen to hear any feedback and hope you find it useful.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
