Harder Image Occlusion: Blackout Mode
Here's a feature for those who want more challenging recall practice.
When you enable Image Occlusion in the card options, you'll now see a sub-option: "Hide other labels." When this is on, we don't just cover the term being tested. We black out ALL other labels in the diagram.
Why Blackout Mode?
Standard image occlusion shows you all the other labels as context clues. That's fine for initial learning, but it can become a crutch. You might recognize "Mitral Valve" just because you can see "Aortic Valve" and "Tricuspid Valve" nearby.
Blackout mode forces pure recall. You see the structure, you see one blank, and you have to know what goes there without any hints from neighboring labels.
Use regular mode for: Initial learning, early in the semester, building foundational knowledge.
Use blackout mode for: Review sessions, exam prep, when you need to prove to yourself that you actually know the material.
The toggle is on by default, but you can turn it off in Card Options before generating.
What Else Changed
A few smaller improvements you might notice:
- Export progress indicator: When you click "Export to Anki," you now see exactly what's happening instead of wondering if it's working.
- Privacy Policy & Terms of Service: Legal pages are live at /privacy and /terms for those who need them.
