Turn your own notes into spaced repetition flashcards with AI
Skip typing cards by hand. Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition, then study free in the browser or export to Anki on Plus.
Choosing between the two without rebuilding your deck
Most students comparing Anki or Quizlet flashcards are really asking how to get their own material into a deck quickly. Both approaches reward good cards, and the slow part is writing them from lecture slides and textbook pages.
- Upload your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos instead of starting from an empty card
- Edit generated cards before studying so wording matches your course
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so hard cards return more often
- Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you want cards in another app
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images, so your own course content becomes the deck.
Spaced repetition included
Cards come back at the intervals that suit how you forget, so you spend time on the words you are about to lose instead of the ones you already know.
Export when you need it
Plus adds Anki and CSV export along with PDF and DOCX. The Free plan keeps studying in the browser with 3 generations a month.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, text notes or a photo of a page. No card formatting is needed.
Generate the flashcards
DeckOwl reads the material and writes question and answer cards you can edit before you study.
Review on a schedule
Study with spaced repetition in the browser, or export to Anki on Plus if you already keep a deck there.
An AI generator reads the source you already have and produces question and answer pairs, which you can trim or reword before the first review. For vocabulary, that means a Spanish food unit becomes a deck in one pass instead of a long evening of copying terms.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for Spanish food vocabulary?
Start with 20 to 30 words from one lesson so each review session stays manageable. Add more once you can recall the first set without hesitating.
How often should I review vocabulary flashcards?
Review each day for the first week, then let spaced repetition stretch the gaps between cards you know well. Cards you miss will come back sooner.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is a Plus feature, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The Free plan lets you study the cards in the browser without exports.
