Hello everyone, I'm new here and new to learning Chinese in general. Pleco is an amazing app and I love it a lot.
Yet I prefer studying cards with Anki (I do the same for my German class). The problem seems to be that anki cards that I create do not have the sound. At all. Am I doing some wrong or is it supposed to be like that? Sound in Pleco itself is amazing, is there any way to transfer these sounds into anki cards? ♦️
If this is supposed to not transfer sounds, can someone please explain to me how to get these sounds and from where?
I have android.
Thank you.

Unfortunately no, we don’t have the rights to make our text to speech engines usable outside of our app, or to output the audio they generate to recordings and export those.

However, I believe AnkiDroid can connect to the Android system to speech engine - check your settings, do you see anything about that in there?

Thank you for your answer. Yes, Anki does have tts. Unfortunately there is no mandarin there. There is German , English, Vietnamese, etc, but no Chinese:( Is there a way to add mandarin tts to android anki?

If you have "ankidroid", then you should go into settings then advanced, then scroll down to the bottom and enable text-to-speech.

Then it will ask you once for the front and back card of each new deck if you want to read it using tts and let you select the language you want admist all the available languages, including mandarin.
You can also change it at any time by clicking on the three dots at the top right and then selecting set tts language.

I use google tts on my android device so I don't know if using another might interfer, although I don't think it will.

You can also specify in the card html note type this if you want it to only read a specific field.

service="android">{{your field}}</tts>

Or

<tts style="display:none" service="android" voice="zh_CN">{{your field}}</tts>
