Study English vocabulary with flashcards made from your own notes
Upload a reading, handout, slide deck or photo of a page and get flashcards with spaced repetition, so new words and grammar rules stick.
How an English flashcard app fits into class work
Students who need an English flashcard app usually have a reading list, a vocabulary sheet or a set of grammar rules to remember before the next class. DeckOwl reads those files and turns them into cards you can review in a browser, with reviews spaced so that words you miss come back sooner.
- Upload a PDF reading, DOCX handout, PPTX slides, notes or a photo of a page
- Spaced repetition brings weak vocabulary back more often than words you already know
- The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser
- Plus adds unlimited generations and Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export
Reads your actual material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text notes or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further out, so review time goes to what you need.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Check understanding with multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions that include explanations, or map out a text as a mind map.
How it works
Upload your English material
Add a reading, vocabulary list, grammar handout or lecture slides in whatever format you have.
Review the generated cards
Scan the flashcards for accuracy and remove anything you do not need before you start studying.
Study a little every day
Open the cards in your browser and let spaced repetition schedule the terms you find hardest.
Because the cards come from your own material, you study the exact terms your teacher or course uses rather than a generic word list. Start with one chapter, check the cards for accuracy, and add more as the unit moves forward.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for English vocabulary?
Start with 20 to 40 terms from one chapter or reading, since small sets are easier to review every day. Add more once you can recall most of the first set without checking the answer.
What English topics work best as flashcards?
Vocabulary with clear definitions, grammar rules with example sentences and literary terms work well because each card has one clear answer. Longer essays are better studied through summaries or quiz questions.
Is this English flashcard app free to use?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are part of the paid Plus plan, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Can I export my English flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. No credit card is needed to start on the free plan.
