When you open the extension for the first time, you will see this screen.

Select languages & save
Set your learning language (the language you're studying) and your native language (for translations). Then select a model from the dropdown and click Save.
Create your first card
Go to any webpage, select a word, right-click, and choose "Add to Ordforråd" from the context menu. The extension will generate a flashcard in the background. You'll see a notification when it's ready.
The card appears as a placeholder while it is being generated. Once ready, it fills in automatically and you will receive a browser notification. Generation time varies depending on your provider and model.
Review & export
Open the popup to see all your saved cards. Each card shows the word, translation, pronunciation, example sentences, and a memory tip. When you're ready, click Anki Export to download a .apkg file you can import into Anki.
AI-generated content can contain errors. Always review your cards before importing them into Anki. If a card looks wrong, right-click the word again to generate a new version.
