How iori flashcards help with Japanese vocabulary
Japanese vocabulary is easier to keep when each term has its own card, and iori flashcards give you that structure straight from your course material. Iori (庵) is a word for a small thatched hut or hermitage, and it shows up in reading passages about traditional architecture and retreats.
- Cards are drawn from your own lesson files, not a generic word list.
- Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
- Spaced repetition schedules reviews based on what you miss.
- Exports to Anki and CSV are available on the Plus plan.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Each card comes from the text you provided.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so review time goes to what you forget.
Study anywhere
Review your iori flashcards in the browser. Plus adds Anki and CSV export for use in other apps.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slides, a document or a photo of a handout. No credit card is needed to start.
Review the generated cards
Check the terms and answers DeckOwl creates and edit any card before you begin studying.
Study on a schedule
Work through the deck each day and let spaced repetition decide which cards show up next.
Start by uploading the lesson slides or a list of terms. DeckOwl reads the text, pulls out the key words and their meanings, and makes a card for each one. You can remove weak cards, add your own, and then study with spaced repetition so the harder words come back more often.
Free accounts get 3 generations a month and can study in the browser. Plus unlocks unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can keep the same deck in another app.
