Flashcard Creator

This is a small and easy python script for creating flashcards for ESL classes. It takes a folder of images, and creates a pdf file of images with the words in large font on the back.

Example Usage

The words I want to use are car, farm, target, arm. The target letters are 'ar'.

1. make a folder named 'ar words' in the Create Flashcards Here folder.
2. add some images, making sure their names are the key words. e.g. arm.png, target.jpg
3. run create_flashcards.py

    What is the folder name?
    >ar words

the name of the folder

    Who is the author?
    >

you can leave it blank, or write your name. This will add a light 'made by ___' to the cards.

    Highlight the first letter? (yes/no/input)
    >input

'yes' will make the first letter green
'no' will make it all black
'input' allows you to choose a custom letter combo

    What should be highlighted?
    >ar

in this example, 'ar' in car, arm, target will be highlighted green.

press enter, and see your flashcards!
