Turn your Chinese notes into flashcards to download
Upload the vocabulary from your class and get flashcards that match your lessons, with spaced repetition to keep the characters in memory.
Why build your own Chinese deck
Most Chinese courses hand out vocabulary lists, but the words that stick are usually the ones from your own lessons. Build Chinese flashcards to download from the textbook scans, slides or notes you already use.
- Works with photos of printed pages through text recognition
- Cards include pinyin, meaning and example sentence when your notes provide them
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you study less but remember more
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study
Upload your own material
Send PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of textbook pages, and the text is read for you.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards return at growing intervals, so you review each character just before you would forget it.
Export when you need to
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can print cards or study them in other apps.
How it works
Add your material
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a vocabulary page from your textbook.
Generate the cards
DeckOwl turns the content into flashcards, with quizzes and mind maps available too.
Study or export
Review in the browser on the Free plan, or export to PDF or Anki on Plus.
DeckOwl does not ship a library of premade Chinese decks. You upload what your class covers, and the AI pulls out terms, characters and example sentences so the deck follows your syllabus.
Pinyin, tones and meanings can sit on the same card, and quizzes can check whether you remember the tone marks.

Frequently asked questions
How many new Chinese characters should I study each day?
Many beginners do well with a small daily set, such as 5 to 10 new characters, reviewed on a schedule. Steady practice usually beats long, occasional cramming.
What is the best way to memorize Chinese characters?
Pair each character with its pinyin and a short meaning, then review it repeatedly at increasing intervals. Writing the strokes by hand also helps many learners remember shapes.
Can I download my flashcards?
Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the Free plan without a credit card and get 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
