## How to move from Readlang to Schwanki

1. In Readlang, export saved words and phrases. Open the file to see how the front and back fields are separated. [Readlang features: Review and export](https://readlang.com/features)
2. Open Anki Desktop, import the delimited file, and map the columns to the front and back fields. [Anki Manual: Text files](https://docs.ankiweb.net/manual/importing/text-files)
3. Export that deck from Anki as an .apkg package. The import creates fresh Anki cards, so it does not recreate your old review schedule. [Anki Manual: Exporting](https://docs.ankiweb.net/manual/exporting)
4. Upload the package in Schwanki and preview the cards before confirming the import. [Schwanki’s Anki export and import guide](https://schwankiapp.com/guides/export-anki-with-scheduling)
5. Open the imported deck and check a sample of the fields, audio, and due dates against your original before moving the rest.
