Hello, I am currently learning Jlabs beginners course on anki. I edited the cards to only show kanji/kana on the front and back and image only on the back to help me better learn kanjis for the words. I also turned off automatic Audio.
But after doing that i started studying but i realized it takes me way longer to study(since only text is on the front, i have to recognize the kanji. I have no problem with kanas though). I have no trouble remembering vocabs if i see the furigana but kanji alone is hard. Is it better to keep it this way or should i just focus on learning the content or should i do the way i am doing rn with kanji or should i revert to the original? Or should i learn kanji an another way and just learn vocab without the kanji for it?

The more hints you have on the front of an Anki card the more you’ll rely on hints. In fact you may well end up just learning the hints and not the underlying vocab. If you want to learn to read words with kanji then you need to learn to recognize the kanji you read. There’s no shortcut. So no furigana on the front, no audio, no pictures, not even any seemingly unrelated tags – just the word(s) you’re learning.
So, my advice is to remove all hints from the front of a card – put just the word you want to learn on the front (with kanji if it’s usually written with kanji). Put everything else that’s helpful on the back. I’d personally keep automatic audio but put that to the back as well.
