Turn your Japanese notes into study flashcards with AI
Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Get flashcards for kana, kanji and vocabulary, scheduled for review with spaced repetition.
Making your own Japanese deck
Learning kana and kanji goes faster when your own lessons become japanese study flashcards you can review on a schedule. Textbook chapters and class slides already contain the words and characters you need, so the work is in turning them into cards.
- Upload a photo of a hiragana chart or a vocabulary page and get cards from the text.
- Keep kanji readings separate from meanings so you can test each one on its own.
- Add an example word or sentence to the back of every verb or particle card.
- Review new cards daily and let spaced repetition handle the older ones.
Reads your actual lessons
Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain text or photos of pages. Text is recognized so your own material becomes the deck.
Spaced repetition scheduling
Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so kana and kanji stick without cramming.
Cards and quizzes from one upload
Build flashcards, then check yourself with multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions that include explanations.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a lesson PDF, a slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a vocabulary list.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl creates flashcards from the content. Edit anything that does not match your course.
Study on a schedule
Review in the browser each day. Spaced repetition brings back the cards that need work.
Good cards are short. One side holds a kana, a kanji, or a word. The other holds its reading, meaning and one example. Keeping each card to a single idea makes review quicker and mistakes easier to spot.
