Anki’s revision log, the table that records every review’s metadata, has a time field which presently measures the time between initially viewing a prompt and answering it (pressing “hard”, “good”, “easy”). This presents a problem when analysing a card’s efficacy as there’s often a non-deterministic difference between the time-to-recall (viewing a card then pressing “show answer”) and the time-to-answer (viewing a card, pressing “show answer”, then choosing an interval).
This plugin makes the revlog.time field measure time to recall instead.
Warning: This plugin will irrevocably—and discontinuously—affect the total study time and average answer time statistics, as they both derive from this field.
