Where a browser flashcard viewer fits into studying

If you want an Anki flashcards viewer that works from your own course material, the useful starting point is the material itself. Lecture slides and textbook chapters are where the exam questions come from, so a viewer is only as good as the cards inside it.

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos and get a card set without typing each card by hand.
Review on a spaced repetition schedule that brings back the cards you miss.
Study in the browser on the free plan, with 3 generations per month.
Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV with Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Example introductory biology flashcards (cell structure)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration. Its inner membrane holds the electron transport chain that drives ATP synthesis.

What is the main job of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to their destinations.

How do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ?Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells have neither.

What is osmosis?The net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.

What do ribosomes do?They translate messenger RNA into a chain of amino acids, which folds into a protein.

DeckOwl builds question and answer cards from your material, which you can review and edit.

Study in the browser

Open the set and review on a spaced schedule. Export to Anki on Plus if you prefer that app.

Studying from cards you made from your own pages keeps the review tied to what your instructor covers. Reviewing on a spaced schedule then does the remembering work, while you focus on the answers you keep missing.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for an intro biology unit?

Aim for one card per distinct term or concept, which often means 20 to 40 cards per chapter. If a card tests two facts at once, split it into two cards.

What is the best way to review flashcards for cell biology?

Use spaced repetition so cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later. Say the answer out loud before you flip the card to check your recall.
