Turn your Word notes into flashcards in minutes
Typing cards into a table works, but it takes longer than studying. Upload your own material and let DeckOwl build the flashcards, then review them on a spaced repetition schedule.
Why generate flashcards instead of typing them
If you want to make flashcards in Word, you can type each term and definition into a table and copy it over, but that means hours of retyping before you study a single card.
- Skip copying terms one by one into a table
- Cards come from your own documents, slides, and photos
- Spaced repetition shows weak cards more often
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month for studying in the browser
Upload what you already have
Drop in a Word document, PDF, slide deck, plain notes, or a photo of a page. The text is read and turned into cards for you.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards return at intervals that match how well you know them, so you spend time on what you are about to forget.
Export when you need it
Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV, so your cards can go into a print set or another study app.
How it works
Upload your file
Add a Word file, PDF, slides, notes, or an image of a page.
Review the cards
Check the generated flashcards and edit any that need changes.
Study on a schedule
Review in the browser with spaced repetition, or export on a paid plan.
Your own lecture notes and readings already contain the terms you need. Generating cards from that material keeps them tied to what your class actually covers, and you can add or remove cards as the course changes.
Start with the material you were assigned, check the first batch for accuracy, and then study in short sessions. The spaced repetition schedule handles the rest.
