Turn your Chinese notes into an Anki deck you can study with audio
Upload Chinese lessons as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages. DeckOwl makes flashcards with spaced repetition, and Plus exports them to Anki.
How to get a Chinese Anki deck with audio
Chinese vocabulary sticks best when you review it in short daily sessions, and a Chinese Anki deck with audio lets you hear each word as you go. DeckOwl builds the flashcards from your own lesson material, but it does not generate the audio itself, so pronunciation clips come from recordings you add in Anki.
- Keep one deck per lesson so new words stay tied to their context.
- Check pinyin and tones on every card before you start studying.
- Add audio to the sound field of each card once, then reuse the deck.
- Start small with 10 to 20 new words a day to keep reviews manageable.
Flashcards from your own files
Upload a textbook chapter, vocabulary list, slide deck or a photo of handwritten characters and get cards for words, characters and meanings.
Spaced repetition scheduling
Reviews are timed so words you miss come back sooner and words you know fade into longer gaps.
Anki export on Plus
Plus exports your cards to Anki, so you can add audio to each word and keep studying in the app you already use.
How it works
Upload your Chinese material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Images are read with text recognition.
Review the generated flashcards
Check the characters, pinyin and meanings, then start a session in the browser on the free plan.
Export to Anki and add audio
On Plus, export the deck to Anki and attach recordings to each card's sound field.
Upload a PDF of your textbook chapter, a DOCX of vocabulary lists, PPTX slides or a photo of a handwritten page, and the tool reads the text and turns characters, pinyin and meanings into cards. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so harder words come back more often.

Frequently asked questions
How do I hear each Chinese word on an Anki card?
Download or record a pronunciation clip for each word and attach it to the card's sound field in Anki. Native-speaker recordings from your course are a good source for accurate tones.
How many Chinese words should I add to a deck each day?
Most learners do well with 10 to 20 new characters or words a day. Keeping new additions small stops reviews from piling up.
Does DeckOwl export Anki decks?
Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are paid.
Can DeckOwl generate audio for my Chinese cards?
DeckOwl creates flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from your files, and it does not list audio generation as a feature. Add audio recordings to the cards yourself in Anki.
