This is really nice! I couldn’t find it in your feature set and maybe it is there, but I am looking for a way to do Anki card reviews without looking at the screen.

The other day I was on a 6h solo road trip and thought how useful it would have been if I could just open Anki on my phone and do my daily reviews without direct interaction. With a combination of TTS/STT and some background noise reduction this would be a neat feature: card appears, word/sentence is spoken, I have 60s for a response which is evaluated and automatically rated, then repeat. Maybe also find a way to keep the screen black to prevent distraction.

That would be really cool. Unfortunately there's not much you can do on mobile with Anki extensions, so what you've described would have to be a standalone app. You could definitely wire up TTS fields with this add-on, but you'd still have to manually rate your answer.
