Turn your English notes into flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards for English vocabulary and grammar, with spaced repetition.
Study English from your own material
Most ready-made English decks cover general words, but your class has its own readings and vocabulary lists. Upload those pages and DeckOwl builds Anki flashcards for English from the words your course actually uses.
- Word meanings with example sentences on the front
- Grammar points such as tense choice and common mistakes
- Phrasal verbs and false friends from Spanish
- Spaced repetition that schedules reviews for you
Reads your own files
Send a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page. Text recognition pulls the words from your course material.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards come back at the right time, so the words you miss show up more often and the ones you know fade into longer gaps.
Study or export
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for your existing study setup.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the reading, vocabulary list or slides your English class uses.
Review the generated cards
Check the flashcards for English words, phrasal verbs and grammar points, and edit any that need changes.
Study on a schedule
Review each day and let spaced repetition decide which cards come up next.
Each card asks a short question on the front, such as a word meaning, a false friend or the correct tense, and gives the answer on the back. Cards you miss return sooner, which keeps daily practice short.
If you want to move the cards into Anki on another device, export is available on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study the same cards in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How many new English words should I add to a deck at once?
A small daily batch, such as 10 to 20 new cards, is easier to keep up with than a large import. Spaced repetition handles the review schedule once the cards are in.
What is the best way to memorize English vocabulary?
Put the word in a short sentence on the front and its meaning on the back, then review on a spaced schedule. Saying the word aloud as you flip the card helps with pronunciation.
Is there a free way to study these cards?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included. Exporting to Anki requires Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can begin without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
