DeckOwl reads the text and drafts flashcards you can edit.

Study on a schedule

Review daily and let spaced repetition bring back the hard cards.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page and the text is read with recognition. The cards use spaced repetition, so reviews are scheduled for the days you are most likely to forget. Free accounts get 3 generations per month and study in the browser; Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a biology unit?

Keep each card to one idea and start with the key terms, processes and definitions your instructor emphasized. Then add cards where you keep missing answers rather than copying every line of the textbook.

How does spaced repetition help me memorize terms?

It schedules each card to reappear shortly before you would likely forget it, so review time goes to the material you find hardest. Spreading reviews over several days works better than cramming the night before an exam.

Can I export flashcards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export to Anki and CSV, along with PDF and DOCX. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is DeckOwl the same as Ubacoda?

No. DeckOwl is a separate AI study tool that generates flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from your own files. No credit card is needed to start, and free accounts get 3 generations per month.
