Why a custom set beats a fixed kit

A ready-made kit is fixed to one word list, so it rarely matches the chapters your teacher assigns. With Chinese flashcards made from your own volume 1 material, every card comes from the lesson you are studying, including the characters, pinyin and tone marks your textbook uses.

Upload the exact pages from your course instead of a generic word list
Keep pinyin and tone marks on each card so pronunciation stays attached to the character
Review a small set daily rather than long sessions before a test
Use quizzes after flashcards to check whether you can recall meanings without seeing the English first

Example first-year Chinese vocabulary flashcards

What does 你好 (nǐ hǎo) mean?Hello, the most common everyday greeting.

What does 谢谢 (xièxie) mean?Thank you.

What does 再见 (zàijiàn) mean?Goodbye.

What does 我叫 (wǒ jiào) mean in 我叫李明?My name is Li Ming. 叫 means to be called, so 我叫 introduces your name.

How do you ask "How much does it cost?" in Chinese?多少钱 (duōshao qián), used when asking the price of something.

Generate the full set

Starts from your own material

Upload a PDF textbook chapter, slides, typed notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the characters and English meanings from the page.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and ones you know fade to longer gaps, so review time goes to the characters you are still missing.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same volume 1 material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of vocabulary groups.

How it works

Upload your lesson

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes file or photos of the pages from your Chinese volume 1 course.

Review the generated cards

Check the characters, pinyin and meanings, then remove or edit any card that does not match your class.

Study on a schedule

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki or CSV on Plus to keep the same cards elsewhere.

Start with the vocabulary list or the first unit, then add more pages as the course moves on. Keep each set focused on one chapter so the spaced repetition schedule has a clear, manageable load.

Frequently asked questions

How should I study characters from a first Chinese volume?

Learn each character with its pinyin, tone and one meaning together, rather than memorizing strokes alone. Review short sets often, since recall over several days works better than one long cram session.

Can I study Chinese flashcards from my own textbook?

Yes. Upload the PDF or photos of the pages and DeckOwl generates flashcards from the text it reads, which you can then check and edit before studying.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan.

Can I export my Chinese cards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, or the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Students can get 40% off with a school email.
