Turn your herb lecture notes into Chinese herb flashcards
Upload your course slides, PDF readings or photos of handouts. DeckOwl builds flashcards with spaced repetition so you can memorize herb names, actions and indications.
Why build your own Chinese herb flashcards
Printed herb sheets from a textbook rarely match the list in your course, so Chinese herb flashcards work best when they come from your own lecture slides and readings.
- Cards come from the exact herbs on your syllabus or handout.
- Each card can pair the pinyin name with its key actions.
- Spaced repetition focuses your time on the herbs you miss.
- Free plan for browser study, with exports on Plus.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. The cards reflect the herbs your instructor actually covers.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so the materia medica sticks over the term.
Study anywhere
Study in your browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or moving cards into other apps.
How it works
Upload your source
Add the PDF, slides, notes or a photo of your herb list. Text recognition reads images of pages.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl turns the herb names, properties and uses into question and answer flashcards.
Review on a schedule
Study each day in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the herbs you find hardest.
Good herb cards pair the Chinese and pinyin name with its main actions, flavor and temperature, and the patterns it treats. Recalling an herb from its effects is more useful in clinic than memorizing a name alone.
When you generate cards from your own material, you can keep up with a changing syllabus and add herbs as your instructor introduces them.

Frequently asked questions
How many Chinese herbs should I study in one session?
Start with the herbs from one lecture or chapter rather than the whole materia medica. Add new cards in small batches so reviews stay manageable.
What should the back of a Chinese herb card include?
Include the pinyin and Chinese name, the flavor and temperature, the main actions and the classic patterns it treats. That lets you recall the herb from its effects.
Can I export my Chinese herb flashcards?
Yes, on the Plus plan you can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan to try it?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
