Turn any PDF or set of notes into Jeopardy-style flashcards
DeckOwl is not a ready-made Jeopardy board. It reads your own material and builds flashcards you can drill in a clue-and-response format, then schedules reviews so the hard ones come back.
How a jeopardy flashcard app fits real review
Trivia drills stick best when the clues come from material you actually need to learn. DeckOwl is not a ready-made Jeopardy board, but it works as a jeopardy flashcard app for your own content: upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, notes or a photo of a page, and it builds flashcards with spaced repetition.
- Clue-and-response cards built from your own PDFs, slides and notes
- Spaced repetition that schedules harder cards more often
- Photos of pages read with text recognition
- Free plan to start, with no credit card needed
Upload what you already have
Add PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Cards built from your material
Each flashcard pulls its clue and response from your own content, so the trivia matches what you are learning.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss return more often, and cards you know fade into longer gaps between reviews.
How it works
Upload your notes
Drop in a PDF, slides, a document or a photo of a page.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl writes clue-style question cards from the text you gave it.
Study with spaced repetition
Review in the browser daily, and export to Anki or CSV on Plus.
Write each card as a clue on the front and a response on the back, the way the show frames answers. The spaced repetition schedule then brings back the ones you miss, so review time goes to the gaps in your knowledge rather than the facts you already have.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Students get 40% off with a school email, and you can start without a credit card.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write good Jeopardy-style clues for studying?
Keep each clue to one fact written as a short description, and put the name, term or date on the back. One-sentence clues are faster to answer and easier to review.
How many trivia cards should I review each day?
A small daily batch of about 10 to 20 cards usually works better than one long session. Spaced repetition decides when each card returns, so you do not need to sort the deck yourself.
Does DeckOwl include a Jeopardy game board?
No. DeckOwl creates flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from your own material and does not include a ready-made Jeopardy board or game.
Can I export my flashcards for free?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.
