Making cards by hand means rereading everything to find the terms worth testing. This page writes 10 question-and-answer cards from your notes, using the terms and examples they already contain.
What you get
Questions built from your notes
Each card asks about one term, definition or example that appears in your notes. Answers use the wording and examples from the lecture, so the cards match what you were taught.
One fact per card
A card covers a single point, such as one definition or one example, rather than a paragraph. That keeps each answer short enough to check yourself in a few seconds.
Same language as your notes
If your notes are in Spanish, German or French, the cards are written in that language too. Abbreviations and terms from your course are kept as they appear.
How it works
- Step 1
Paste your lecture notes into the box, or drop a PDF, Word or text file. The preview reads the first part of the file.
- Step 2
Read the first cards in the preview and check that the questions and answers match what your lecturer said.
- Step 3
Create a free account to get the full deck, export it to Anki or similar apps, and upload longer files or photos of handwritten notes.
Who uses it
Students preparing for an exam
Turn a semester of typed notes into cards before a midterm, then quiz yourself on the terms you keep getting wrong.
Students who missed a lecture
Paste a classmate's notes and get cards for the topics you need to catch up on, without rewriting them by hand.
Teaching assistants building review sets
Create a starting set of definition and example cards from the lecture notes, then edit them to fit your course before sharing them with students.
Questions
What does the free preview show?
The preview shows the first few cards from your notes, so you can judge whether the questions and answers fit the lecture. A free account gives the full deck of 10 cards from your whole file.
Will my lecture notes be stored?
The preview does not keep your file after it has read it. If you create a free account and save a deck, the cards are stored in your account, and you can delete them from there.
Can I use flashcards in Anki or other apps?
A free account lets you export the deck for Anki and similar flashcard apps. The preview only shows the cards as text.
What if my notes are photos or scans?
Photos and scanned pages need a free account, because reading handwriting or scanned text requires OCR. Longer files also need an account. Check the cards against your original notes before an exam, because the tool can make mistakes.
