Generate Mochi Cards
Mochi cards in CSV, Markdown, or a native .mochi package
Mochi pairs spaced repetition with clean Markdown, and NextLang speaks both. Generate a deck from any text, photo or PDF, then import it into Mochi in seconds: choose CSV or Markdown output, or download a native .mochi package that imports as a complete deck in one click, with pronunciation audio inside it and no Mochi Pro required. Cards can be generated as plain pairs or as cloze sentences in Mochi's own hidden-text syntax. Two languages from 20, up to 30 cards, and 5 free credits that refill every 30 days. A saved deck is not final: decks grow in steps of up to 30 cards, to a ceiling of 200 cards, one credit per step. Your saved vocabulary travels the same route: Export deck writes the words in a dictionary to a native .mochi package with the audio embedded, again without Mochi Pro. The deck does not have to leave the browser to be studied: every set flips as cards on the result page, and one tap adds the whole set to your vocabulary, where a Leitner schedule brings the words back on 1/3/7/21-day intervals.
How the Mochi generator works
- 1
Add your source
Paste a word list or text, or upload a photo or a PDF. NextLang reads it with built-in image and PDF analysis, so you never retype anything.
- 2
Choose languages and size
Set the source and target language from 20 supported languages and pick how many cards to generate, up to 30 per run.
- 3
Pick your format
Get a CSV with your chosen separator and quoting, Markdown cards with the delimiter you prefer, or a native .mochi package ready for one-click import.
- 4
Import into Mochi
Import the .mochi package as a complete deck, upload the CSV, or paste the Markdown straight into a Mochi deck. Your front and back fields stay intact, and the .mochi route brings the audio with it.
What the output looks like
A 3-card preview of a German to English deck. Export as CSV or Markdown with the delimiter you choose, or as a native .mochi package.
| Front (German) | Back (English) |

Mochi FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about generating Mochi flashcards for effective language learning with spaced repetition.
Can I make Mochi cards from a PDF?
Yes. Upload the PDF instead of typing a prompt and NextLang reads it directly, so a course handout, a worksheet or a chapter you exported becomes Mochi cards without retyping. The file can be up to 10 MB and 30 pages, and photos work the same way. Generating from a file is a premium feature, so it needs a past credit purchase; a rejected file never costs you a credit.
What if a generated card is wrong?
Tell us and you are paid for it: we refund the credit that generated the deck and add 3 more on top, for up to 20 reports a month. Broken formatting, the wrong language, a duplicate inside one deck or a card clearly off the level you asked for count automatically; a translation you would not have chosen we read ourselves and tell you which way we called it. Email support@nextlang.co with the subject "Card report" and include the link to the deck. What counts as a bad card
Can I send my saved vocabulary to Mochi?
Yes. A dictionary in NextLang is not a dead end: Export deck writes the words you see on screen to a native .mochi package with the audio embedded, so an article or a subtitle file you imported earlier becomes a Mochi deck without generating anything again. Mochi Pro is not needed for this, and the export costs no credit.
What is Mochi and how does it work?
Mochi is a modern flashcard application that uses spaced repetition to help you memorize information efficiently. It offers a clean, intuitive interface and supports multiple import formats including CSV and Markdown, making it easy to create and study flashcards.
How do I import the generated Mochi cards?
Easiest way: download the native .mochi package, then in Mochi choose Import and select the file. It loads as a complete deck with every card intact, no parsing or mapping. Prefer text? Download CSV or Markdown instead, create a deck, open deck settings, and choose 'Import'. Mochi parses the cards using the appropriate format.
Can I download a native .mochi package?
Yes. Alongside CSV and Markdown, you can download a native .mochi package built right in your browser. It imports into Mochi in one click as a finished deck with front and back cards intact, no field mapping. (Mochi can also import the .apkg Anki package we generate, if you ever want that route.)
What file formats does the Mochi generator create?
The generator produces a native .mochi package, plus CSV and Markdown text. CSV uses configurable separators (comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe) and quote options. Markdown uses the '---' separator between front and back content, which Mochi automatically recognizes.
Can I customize the card appearance in Mochi?
Yes! Mochi offers various customization options including themes, fonts, and card layouts. You can also add images and rich text formatting once the cards are imported. Pronunciation audio you do not have to add: it is already inside the .mochi package we generate.
Do the generated Mochi cards come with audio?
Yes. The native .mochi package carries the pronunciation mp3 files inside it, so the cards speak in Mochi itself, not only on our site, and you do not need Mochi Pro for it. As far as we know NextLang is the only generator that hands you an already-voiced .mochi. Voices are natural neural ones across all 20 supported languages; word audio is free for everyone, example-sentence audio is a premium extra, and neither costs a credit.
What languages are supported for Mochi generation?
Our Mochi generator supports a comprehensive range of languages including major European languages (Spanish, French, German, Italian, etc.), Asian languages (Japanese, Korean, Chinese), and many others. You can create translation decks between any supported language pairs.
How many cards can I generate at once?
You can generate between 5 and 30 cards in one generation, which keeps quality high. From there you can grow the saved deck in the same steps, one credit each, up to 200 cards in total.
Do I have to import the deck into Mochi to start studying?
No. Every generated set is a flip-card deck right on the result page, and Save all puts the whole set into your vocabulary in one tap. From there the words come back on a Leitner spaced-repetition schedule (5 boxes, 1/3/7/21-day intervals) inside NextLang, whether or not you also import the .mochi file into Mochi. Saving and studying are free for any signed-in account.
Can I study the generated cards on my mobile device?
Absolutely! Mochi has mobile apps for both iOS and Android. Import the cards on any device and they'll sync across all your devices through your Mochi account.
What's the difference between CSV and Markdown formats?
CSV format is structured data with configurable separators, perfect for precise control over field separation. Markdown format is more human-readable and easier to edit manually, with cards separated by '---' and supporting rich text formatting. Markdown is Mochi's home turf: every card in Mochi is Markdown under the hood, so the imported text stays editable in the same syntax.
Can I use cloze deletions with the generated cards?
Yes, and you can have them generated that way. Pick cloze cards and the deck arrives as sentences in Mochi's own double-curly-brace syntax, one hidden word per sentence, with the full translation on the back. Because Mochi cards are plain Markdown, you can also turn any imported pair into a cloze card by hand, by wrapping the word you want hidden in curly braces in the editor.
Do I need a Mochi Pro subscription to import the deck?
No. Importing .mochi, CSV, and Markdown files works on Mochi's free plan, and you can study the deck locally right away, pronunciation audio included. Mochi Pro mainly adds cloud sync across devices and other online extras, so you only need it if you want the same deck on your desktop and phone automatically.
I already have decks in Anki. Can I move them into Mochi?
Yes. Mochi imports Anki's .apkg packages directly, including the decks NextLang generates for Anki. For older exports or text-based decks, our free browser converter turns an .apkg or CSV into a clean Mochi import with your fields mapped the way you want. Follow the step-by-step Anki to Mochi guide.
How accurate are the translations in the generated cards?
Accurate enough that the remaining risk is a defensible translation rather than a wrong one, and a vocabulary card is something you can check in a dictionary in seconds. Separately from the wording, the cards themselves cannot arrive broken: the app builds the output rather than asking the model to format it. Every card is shown before you export, and you can edit any of them. How we keep cards accurate
Can I add more cards to a deck I already made?
Yes, and you no longer need a second generation for it. Open the saved deck and add more cards to it directly: decks grow in steps of up to 30 cards, to a ceiling of 200 cards, one credit per step. The cards already in the deck are excluded from the request so you do not get duplicates, and the file keeps its format, separator and quoting. Download the .mochi again and import it into the same Mochi deck: the spaced repetition schedule of the cards you have already studied is untouched. Cloze decks, decks built from a file and decks published to the gallery cannot be grown this way yet.
