Yes, AnkiApp can import decks from spreadsheet files, in CSV (comma-separated value) or TSV (tab-separated value) format, which can be exported from a wide variety of software. AnkiApp additionally supports including sounds and images in these decks, by referencing those files from the CSV/TSV, and putting them all together in a .zip file.
To use this feature, go to https://nexus.ankiapp.com/, choose the "Import" option, and follow the directions. If you need any help, contact us at support@ankiapp.com.
Creating Line Breaks in Imported Decks
Anywhere that you would like to have a line break occur in the resulting deck, include this text "<br/>" in your CSV/TSV file.
