How to get AI Anki flashcards from your own notes

Students studying DNA and genetics often have terms spread across lecture slides, a textbook chapter and handwritten notes. DeckOwl reads those files and turns them into AI Anki flashcards that cover the terms, processes and rules your course actually uses.

  • Works with PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain text notes and photos of pages
  • Spaced repetition schedules cards so weak spots come back sooner
  • Free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study
  • Plus plan adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export
Example DNA and genetics flashcards
What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?Adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Adenine pairs with thymine, and guanine pairs with cytosine.
What is the difference between a gene and an allele?A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a trait, and an allele is one of the alternative versions of that gene.
What does semiconservative replication mean?Each new DNA double helix contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
What is a Punnett square used for?Predicting the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes from the genotypes of the parents.
Which enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix during replication?Helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs, separating the two strands so they can be copied.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages, and the flashcards come from what you actually studied.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at increasing intervals, so the ones you find hard return before you forget them.

Anki export

On the Plus plan, export your deck to Anki, or to PDF, DOCX and CSV, and keep studying in the tools you already use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, notes file or a photo of a textbook page.

Generate the cards

The AI writes flashcards from the content, and you can edit any card before you start studying.

Study or export

Review with spaced repetition in the browser, or export to Anki on the Plus plan.

Once the deck is generated, you can review it with spaced repetition, which schedules each card based on how well you remember it. If you already use Anki, export the set on the Plus plan and keep your review routine in one place.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a DNA and genetics unit?

Most units work well with one card per key term, process or rule, so a single chapter might produce 30 to 60 cards. Start with the terms you keep missing and add more only when they cover new material.

What is the best way to study Punnett square problems?

Work a few problems each day instead of many at once, and write out the cross yourself before checking the answer. Spaced review keeps the patterns in memory longer than a single cram session.

Can I export the flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export is part of the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.

Does it work with photos of textbook pages?

Yes, images are read with text recognition, so photos of pages can be turned into flashcards. Check the cards against the page, since blurry text can be misread.
